I don't understand why labor in this country feels like they have any right to strike or are owed anything. You can still get a good job in manufacturing or construction without a college education that will pay you a good wage that allows you to purchase a home and raise a family and lets your wife stay home with the kids. And when you retire from the plant or factory you have a nice pension that covers your retirement. Pretty much anyone in America has the opportunity to do this. So I don't see why workers are so up in arms about all of this. They have it pretty good.

Fuck that bleeding heart crap.

There are MORE jobs avaliable than workers as a journeyman plumber or electrician that provide all of that.  So sell the “it’s not fair shit” elsewhere.

They may or may not get "rich", but most of them make a living many with a 401k, benefits......  guess what that 401K is their's no matter what.  

FYI, workers aren't chained to equipment any more.  

28% of small businesses offer 401ks to employees.

And what is stopping the small business owner from also having retirement accounts?

Well, you have conflated small and mid cap businesses.  The combined percentage of small and mid offering 401k is in excess of 50%.  So a big majority of mid-market independent businesses offer 401k and benefits.  These are the businesses that are fucked by your proposed estate tax changes.

but don’t let facts get in the way of your socialist fantasy.

I wonder which generation of 401k beneficiaries get fucked by the next depression.

This group gets squeezed way too much on nearly everything.  They were probably a big part of Trump’s success.  No one is out there trying to bail these folks out when things go south.  

That group includes many billlionaires.

I guess you are assuming all workers are practically broke.  Which I don't agree with, but yes if a middle market business fails the owners often get wiped out.  That is the risk reward scenerio that is the basis of capitalism.

The idea that the GOP Big Cigars are great crusaders for small businesses and mom and pops is as big a lie as that whopper about how they hate illegal immigrants.

Can we please get the discussion back on topic, affordable yet high-quality chicken joints.

As mentioned earlier, the chicken from Pollo Asados in San Antonio is like crack. You will not find a better grilled chicken joint in the world. They also have this green sauce that would make a dirty foot taste delicious.

Someone had to say it.

Fried in a cast iron skillet is really the only acceptable form.

Whatever honkey. Rub that chicken down with some adobo seasoning and throw it on the grill. Serve with tortillas, roasted peppers, guacamole and cerveza.

Everybody who got popped in the eye with hot grease when they were just tall enough to look over the edge of the skillet say HEY.

Not the eye, but years ago I was frying oysters with no shirt on and one popped.  Took about a teaspoon to the navel area.

Once I wanted to see if a can of Mace worked, so I sprayed some on a stink bug.

He crawled right thorugh it. I stuck my finger in the puddle, no effect.

About 5 minutes later, I used that finger to wipe my eye.

As I used to do with a frequency I wasn't proud of even then, I was rummaging through my grandfather's sock drawer one morning looking for burrito money at the HS cafeteria and I came upon a spray canister that I believed to hold some kind of industrial grade Binaca. I thought I would smell really fresh for the Catholic coeds across the parking lot at the girls' school and came this close to spraying it in my mouth. Yep, it was Mace. 

That would be one way to get a day off school, I guess.

Tested a co-workers key chain once at work. Didn’t see anyone around, so we walked outside and just blasted it in the air thinking nothing of it. It was windy that day and apparently this stuff has a good range, because the seniors group meeting around the corner of the building started to get violently ill. Before anyone could asses the situation, we clocked out and bailed. 

Nobody died but ambulances were called. 

TLDR - mace works great on the olds.
