He occupies such a strange place in American culture. Since he came around and got some sense after committing some war crimes and went to bat (slightly) for Obama, Clinton, and Biden, he has ZERO credibility for Republicans. He’s a traitor and god knows what else. So they’re happy he died.

Excellent reference. The line right before it is a massive shit on the cops, though. The cops seemed to have enough evidence, GM is the one that couldn’t.

Kinja fucked my pictures, but hopefully someone can see them.

In my current pipe dream, everyone with any beef with anyone else seizes this opportunity to take a weekend off. Then, on the same weekend that all the cops get sent home in Chicago, there are no shootings, no murders, and no crime, just for 2 days. Then, for the next forever, any time any goddamn asshole says WHAT…

Maybe I’m just wrong and out of touch here, but $70k isn’t even that much. I mean, sure it’s good for certain places, but when I see someone say “a worker CAN MAKE UP TO 70k”, it seems like a pretty shitty place to be.

Yep, I can’t see beyond the WaPo article at what that reporter is reporting off of, but I’m willing to bet a good bit that it’s a misunderstanding of that language. I’m sure someone at Deere legal didn’t let something slip through like that, but a reporter sees “compensation” and writes “wages”, which are ENTIRELY…

Realistically, by the time is comes out, the lease on your lightning will be over, and you’ll be looking for something new.

You may be missing the point. In this case, the union is better because everyone with experience is part of the union. They aren’t inherently better at building things, sure, but people with experience building things are generally better at building things than people who don’t have experience.

“There are no children’s books that show the ‘opposing perspective’ of the Holocaust or the ‘opposing perspective’ of slavery.”

And park outside.

Was your tire light on always? I seem to remember every rental or friend’s Nissan of that era always had the tire light on, and no one ever cared, because that’s just how it was.

Granted, I’ve never lived in NJ, but my brother-in-law lives in NE CT, at the top of a hill, and he drives a 2007 Acura FWD. It seems to snow there a decent bit, but with winter tires, he hasn’t needed to replace the car. Yeah, it’s an extra $1000 for some new winter rims and tires (that’s the way I do it here in…

No joke here. In my town, just a couple weeks ago, a guy 1 year older than me (preschool aged kids) died on a street that I’ve ridden on. Someone “test driving” a Raptor hit him, dead on the scene. It’s a section of road with no bike lane that connects a bike path with a bike lane road. It’s fucking terrifying. It’s…

Nah, in Texas, they’re cousin-fuckers. You get a little bit of depth in the pool there. Not that they were looking for depth, it’s just the way it worked out.

No shit. Every restaurant owner is pissing and moaning about not being able to find any employees. Yeah, you fucking asshole, not at the wages you pay. Arby’s has a big sign out saying they’re paying $16 an hour, and there’s a line of people waiting to get a job there. When even $16 an hour working at Arby’s is better…

But if the CEO worked his way up in the company, he might want the workers to get a cut of the profits, because that would be fair. A random guy with an Ivy League MBA knows that the board and shareholders need to get paid. And since the board chooses the CEO, that’s just how it’s going to be unless the whole system…

But think of the shareholders. They’re going to sit in their ivory towers and complain on the news stations to make sure that everyone knows without them getting their cut of the profits, BAD STUFF HAPPENS. Or something.

The pandemic had a little to do with it, but let’s be real. This was part of the plan. Trump and his ilk were in charge of this whole debacle, and this is the outcome they wanted, and the outcome they got.

Ha, you think they’re that high class? These are meth and bath salts people we’re talking about.

Only if you believe facts. There are still a lot of people that live in alternate reality ‘Mercia that think it celebrates the people that won the war of northern aggression.
