  1. Well, I’ve owned decent amounts of most of them when it makes sense. Curious you assume that most of their button pushers aren’t shareholders as well.
  2. I’m not sure about that. As someone who requires a 3/4-1ton for real life, I don’t see them being replaced. We’ll just grit our teeth, understand your 100k would probably be 70 without the leaches, vote accordingly, and keep hoping they get theirs.
  3. Also, a major difference between the groups. One can be cut loose in a moments notice and puts in effort accordingly. The other knows you don’t want to fuck with a grievance and can’t really cut them loose, and works accordingly. I suspect we’ll continue to see more vehicles built in the south, and Mexico, and we can point and laugh at these motherfuckers that have no one to blame but themselves.
  4. You’ll have to stop. I’ve been unable to sleep since.
  5. yeah they're probably in good shape for everyone but Miss and LSU. I hope both of those are end of season bloodlettings for aggy. 49-17 types.
  6. Maybe. As usual, it will be the poors that are affected.
  7. You seem to think non union employees would care more about your business than union employees do. You're wrong. None of them care. We can agree to disagree, I suppose. My experience is obviously different than yours, all while literally working alongside and managing both groups daily.
  8. I deal with unions all over the country, some are better than others. It’s the locals that give us the most issues, not as much my travelers. But 100% of the guys we get for fraud are our book carrying guys. We’ll eventually acquire someone and split it up. Just a game of cat and mouse and the juice isn’t worth the squeeze. Irony? Or you’re an expert in union labor too?
  9. Ammo is going up 20-50% every year or so, more on the auction sites. Pretty good to have around imo.
  10. I will for now. Politicians want power, there will be D’s that trend towards and become the new right. They will not be Trumpy, and they will thirst for power and wealth, and they will get elected. Whole country moves to the left a bit, and we start over. Same as it ever way.
  11. For sure. I'm not voting for the Trump side, and I'd rather hammer a railroad spike into my dick than pull the lever for any Democrat I've ever seen.
  12. Fuck. Line about to tighten up.
  13. Do they care if you are able to stay in business, or not? Have work on the books? I would assume so, but maybe not. The difference is your employees likely don’t leave at the end of each project, then return as it suits them. So I would say, yes, they do give more of a shit.
  14. My survey says they’d rather get a bonus at the end than to pay a group 2 op to turn on the hydrant, along with his buddy that’s required to turn the hydrant off. #chicagolocaloperators
  15. I abstained from the ‘20 and ‘22 elections and was very vocal about it here. I’ve moved onto making peace with the fact I’ll live the second half of my life in a country I’m embarrassed to be associated with, as the GOP has decided to give up.
  16. Half the stuff he named off was thoughts and prayers. I know it was satire, but he pretty much nailed it.
  17. I'm happy when people are paid what they are worth. Why do I dislike unions? I work for a union shop. Our management, of course, is not union. I can only speak to heavy highway, PLCA, and welders unions, but almost to the rule the union employees are lazier, hilariously entitled, and overall just fucking dickheads. They don't care about your company (leave you in a bind in an instant) or its success, they don't care about their quality of work because it's an act of congress to be replaced, and in general are the types of people that NEED someone to make sure they have a good job because they'd never survive on their own merits. There was a time and a place for them, we are long past that. The BA's spend ALOT of energy trying to take money out of my pocket, damage the equity I have in my company, and generally make my life worse. Turnabout is no longer fair play? I would and now rely on my men to return that favor with fervor. Afterall, you live by the agreement, you die by the agreement. So we'll continue to pay 100k for a well equipped pickup truck, and some guy with a GED will get 135/hr to push a button so a robot can move it down the assembly line. And we will like it because if they didn't have that given to them, I can only assume these fucking leaches would be on welfare, taking their blood from there.
  18. Yeah, some minds were changed that day. I get it, it’s fun to get out a few times a year and use the chainsaw. But if I’m getting ~20 days a year down there, fuck spending it standing in a pile of rattlesnakes trying to cut some firewood. $100, firewood for better part of an entire season, no brainer.
  19. That’s ok. I’ll drink about 6 filters if needed.
  20. I work for a union shop. I see it as up close as you can get.
  21. He wishes he made 100/hr I do. I used to bill out for a lot more than that, but no mas. Now I babysit guys that babysit fuckstick union hands for a living.
  22. Nicole, I think this might be a you hang up*. For example, I feel exactly opposite. I believe it takes a mentally ill person to commit most violent/predatory crimes. *I might be misunderstanding your stance.
  23. Not your best work.
  24. Sup?
