You’re still embracing evil. Even if it’s tilting windmills, I’d rather do that than pick someone I know I can’t support.

Completely agree.  While in practice it’s a duopoly, it doesn’t mean we can’t clamor for change.  For how many years was the only way to vote to be born a white male?  Lots of work went into changing that.  I recognize it may be tilting at windmills, but I refuse to vote lessor of two evils when I can enthusiastically…

This is also from the same guy who went on screed after screed about how those who voted third-party or couldn’t countenance Hillary’s corruption and entitlement were wrong.  If it’s vote for who you can most support, then say that.  Based on HamNo’s past written work, he seems more to mean “vote Dem, or it’s your…

I wonder how many stories are on the flip side of this. My father in-law was a 35 year union man. He voted straight party ticket Democrat faithfully every year, every election because that’s what the union wanted of him. But once Trump threw his hat in the ring, my father in-law was all in for Donnie. He couldn’t say…

Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. I’ve not hired people because their social media was covered with posts about drugs or other questionable stuff. My kids have had friends not get admitted to schools because of social media. Unless your willing to have something be splashed on the front page of…

And it will be PV2 Snuffy, fresh from basic. The guys who have a couple deployments under their belt will be able to differentiate between a guy with a rock and real danger. Snuffy will be jumpy as hell being the first time away from home. He’ll get separated from the squad, either on patrol or someone steps away for…

Agreed.  I can’t stand IPAs, but I’ll suffer through a sixer of this so I can help out those who need it.  I may keep it around as cooking beer.

Yes, workers and management are in opposition on what the “right” compensation is. But that conflict pales in comparison to what the company down the street or, most likely, in a low-wage country is doing to the company.

It’s not that unions time has passed, it’s that they haven’t changed their business model to fit the time.  When unions really took off in America, there was physical fights between company men and workers.  Now, the enemy isn’t your employer; it’s typically the lower wage company in Mexico or Vietnam.  Unions need to…

It looks like there will be a number of openings in the Trump administration...

$69M...nice!

I was lucky in that the in-laws ate at noon and my family eats around 7. Until the in-laws moved away, I had 8 solid years of two full thanksgivings with a change of cast mid-way so arguments coulnd’t build a real head of steam. As glorious as that was, Friday was death as all that eating came home to roost.

I wonder what the impact to manufacturing will be?  We’ve already hosed farmers, how about all those plants that depend on JIT deliveries from Mexico?  The domestic auto industry is already reeling from the tariff, add a couple days unplanned shutdown for no parts in, and you can kiss profit sharing (and the planned…

I travel a lot for business. If I’m only there overnight, I usually don’t tip unless it’s someplace I’m going to be a repeat customer at. Anyplace that’s a multi day stay, it’s at least $5USD in local currency a night.

No, Amy Alexander, the woman Keith Ellison assaulted while he still retained the backing of the Democrats, who in your words, respect and believe women.

Amy Alexander would like a word with you.

I’m usually the token conservative around here and had been out of the grey for years. I tried to keep it respectful and have back and forth with people who disagreed with me. I come here to hear a different opinion because it’s important to hear contrasting views to your own.

I feel like Ward fucking Beaver. It’s a nice moment.
