My thread so Im officially locking all comments on Fatty and getting back to the topic at hand. Joe Biden kicking ass and causing union resurgence. LOL NOT EVEN CLOSE. 72%-28% Workers voted overwhelmingly Friday to unionize at Volkswagen’s Tennessee plant, handing a major victory to the United Auto Workers and a resurgent U.S. labor movement. The tally was 2,628 to 985 for the UAW, Volkswagen said in a statement. The election was the third attempt by workers to organize at the Chattanooga factory, where past votes have narrowly failed. It also gives the UAW, which won record wage increases at GM, Ford and Stellantis last year, its first stronghold in the largely non-union South. Volkswagen becomes the first new automaker in the U.S. to be unionized in nearly half a century. Friday's vote is part of an effort by the UAW to organize 13 automakers, and "could be the start of a revolution in the U.S. auto industry," per CNN. Another vote at a Mercedes plant in Alabama will close May 17 — and organizing efforts are ongoing at a number of foreign automakers, as well as the plants of U.S. vehicle makers Tesla, Rivian and Lucid. My own thoughts: Amazing to see such a seismic shift with the common man's decision after previously failing twice, with the last vote in 2019 before widespread COVID shutdowns and "essential workers" got shaft. Would love to see if blue collar workers in other industries have the same shifting thoughts but can't think of a good ongoing comparison. This happening in the south doesn't leave much populated areas with experience left to consider moving to in United States to skirt unions. It'd have to be Mexico if you want some fingerprint in North America. Every single Volkswagen facility was union with the exception of this, so I don't believe they/ll pack up and go anywhere. Glad to see the waig is only a month to see what, if any, immediate shockwaves carry over to the Alabama vote.

If I make 100,000 and you make 100,000 are we in the same tax bracket paying the same amount? Or are you married and given preferential treatment?

Imagine if this energy by Republicans was carried to the real people that are recipients of their taxes, people richer than them

Fatman, Are your tax brackets different than mine?

Did you get your itemized tax bill, write a check, and slap some postage on it? I want to know where my taxes went

Did anyone get their 1020ez-pb that shows how much went to PPP loan forgiveness? I want to write some things off

So both public and private banks get your tax dollars when a loan is forgiven? Or does the interest that is 3x the principal amount cover some losses for both public and private? How much did you give in FY 2023?

How are you paying for other people’s college? You mean your kids?

YGIFS always referencing rock the vote, from the fucking 90s, when he began to vote, without mentioning he’s in that age group, and votes every time, is always funny. Commas

We will be ending our second summer 1st week of October as usual. Time isn’t there.

It’s bout to be summertime. In Texas. In New Mexico. In Arizona. All undoable with temps, terrain, and length. California may be the only doable/service entrance but that is the longest route. Any caravan talk will sputter out and by the time the argument can regain momentum, the reaction will be “not this stupid bullshit again”

Seems like it’s just a running tally of mostly state government trifectas where first to 270 will be new way of declaring

Yea not touching DJT stock at all. Up 25%

This happened to me right now, like ten minutes ago.

A hunter just came to me with tears in his eyes and said it’s so unfair what they do to me in my Joe Biden is God thread. “Every time you post great economic news or talk about state lege changes or shifting policy in areas of importance, some stupid dickhead like sheeeeeit or fatty or Boss Hogg intentionally, obtusely, and miraculously miss the most obvious fucking point and low level trolling wins the day. In my head I didn’t worry cause I knew there’d be more great economic news to post, there always is, and I said “Don't worry Q1 GDP is coming up, probably 3%.” The camouflage wearing man looked at me, wiped away his tears and said “Goddamn it Beau Biden got brain cancer from his time in the fire pits while serving overseas like a good American patriot! Dying in a hospital in America from a battle with brain cancer is the obvious end result. It’s not a lie that he died in Iraq” I comforted him and whispered “it’s ok, it’s gonna be 3%, and they’ll post a Project Veritas video

Just realized the fixed rate on a new I bond is 1.3% for the life of the bond. Hasn’t been higher than that since Nov 2006. Derail is over

Casa Linda’s. The prices of tacos are too damn high and it’s mostly these two shitheads contributing to it. Literally any place south of 71/290 can put out anything better.

Holy shit this article is too funny. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/04/16/republican-governors-uaw/

Chattanooga UAW union vote at Volkswagen plant beginning today. Affects 4000 workers at plant while possibly putting upwards pressure on wages at other southern, non union, facilities.

Pretty sure I caught the guy scamming. Sent two different emails with two different account numbers, routing, and Banks, but same individual listed as an accountant and deposit due today. Sucks cause it's the perfect shack with the outdoor patio and location. Whatever, my Altima has a very comfortable second row.

Think I found my crash pad for the next 6 months. Seems absurdly priced, will probably have money stolen from me. https://www.apartments.com/1624-reed-ave-san-diego-ca/bc64lpb/

In another thread you said you wanted to end support and telegraph it, right? Did I read it wrong

You don’t have to convince him to vote for Biden. You have to convince him Trump is not worth his vote. That’s the actual assignment
