If a couple of the factories have the Trump name on them, that's like $2T in added value, right there.

Our family has a bit of a thing when we're out to dinner and a question comes up. "Do you want to know the answer, or do you just want to talk about it?" I'd say it's about 80/20 for "talk about it".

Years back, TSA tried to insert themselves in the Amtrak system. The basic trainyard crew take was "These people are going to die. Yards are dangerous." Not to mention there a million ways in and out of a yard.

The pre-metric systems were all largely based on shit you could relate to. Foot is a foot. Yard is a stride. Inch is a knuckle. 0 degrees is fuck that's cold, I'm staying in. 100 degrees is fuck that's hot, I'm staying in. Metric is bullshit.

Not if you google podium. And they're never done without a lawyer being involved. Kinda need to check if a law will be legal. Part of the system.

Being pro union is about not signing your paycheck over to anything. Why the fuck are you fighting with me, of all people? I get why so many of your posts are replies to *blocked*. Troll gotta troll. Find a more useful hobby.

Stings? Lol. You know nothing about me. It was founded as a white man's shithole. Some of us are trying to make it something better. If that profile picture is you, you're nearly as white as your dancing partner. But I'm sure you've got unrealized soul deep inside. How's your own privilege doing?
nottooloud (@nottooloud.bsky.social) reply parent
Of course I know that only the privileged got that, and that I am a member of that privileged class. But what, you think it shouldn't be normalized? Anti-union or some shit? I say again, pension was a good concept. UBI is a better version, but pension was an available thing that vanished.

Nice misrepresentation. Again, not what I said. Every single civil rights advancement this country has ever made law was delivered from behind a lectern.
nottooloud (@nottooloud.bsky.social) reply parent
Excess profit is wage theft, but there was an expectation that companies would take care of their employees. There was also an expectation that one man would earn enough to support a family, & you could pay for college by working the summer. Guessing I'm a lot older than you, so this may be news.

Restaurant is a really difficult business with razor thin margins on a good day. Way more fail than succeed.

That's a complete misrepresentation of what I said. Your assertion was that it doesn't happen from behind a misnamed lectern. I say again. History disagrees.

Open borders. Someone says there are open borders, over and over and over. Suddenly there's an influx of migrants. Huh. Couldn't be because someone is screaming that WE HAVE OPEN BORDERS at the top of their lungs, over and over and over and over, could it? Who is that?
