  1. Yeah, extending contract until 1/15 Looks like a 62% increase in pay. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/ship-queue-grows-us-ports-dockworker-strike-enters-third-day-2024-10-03/
  2. Reports coming out that the strike is ending. https://www.counton2.com/news/local-news/local-ila-says-port-strike-is-over/
  3. Hook 'em Horns AOC with the burnt orange.
  4. I thought it was 3 hours of U.S. and 3 hours of Texas history?
  5. People are acting like they have a say in the matter. As you said, the union members only care about their contract demands and not what the public thinks. The guy has the backing of his members despite what everyone with lawyer hands thinks.
  6. Probably the hurricane thread but it does speak to your point about the need for unions.
  7. An investigation has been opened up. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/tennessee-investigating-plastics-factory-workers-trapped-hurricane-hel-rcna173597
  8. A big difference is the social safety net in Western Europe that doesn't exist here. In the U.S. unions must fight for items that are already codified into law over there.
  9. Yes those exist but most of those guys were nerds learning on their own since they were kids.
  10. The machines and AI are coming for a lot of people. Considering there has never been a serious national discussion to address the repercussions of automation it makes sense that the unions push back in order to protect their livelihood.
  11. Ah yes, Voldermort.
  12. lol no. I've seen plenty of college graduates with computer science degrees that never were able to pick up programing.
  13. As I understand it, it's done to balance the power dynamics between management and workers. A seniority system prevents shit like stack ranking.
  14. Jennings tongues buttholes at truck stops for fun.
  15. Every time I see Daniel Dale on TV.
  16. Sir, I happen to have a 401k so identify with the billionaire class.
  17. It was good. It's like Boss Hogg teaming up with the Dukes because the current episode's villian is so evil.
  18. Walz on the peaceful transfer of power.
