M4L, having a little bugger won’t stop me from working. If my partner decides to go out with me, then he’ll take care of it or I’ll get a babysitter. Maybe I’ll take *rob* with me. He can be it’s Manny.
Aren’t unions just looking out for themselves, trying to get as much as they can, working the system for their self interests – the capitalist way, the capitalist ideal?

Yes, and striking if they don’t get what they want. That doesn’t actually work in the real, non-union world.
I guess you forgot about the MTA strike a few years back.
to be fair & honest, people make big bucks in the finance industry. Not the mega million paydays but 200k+ is not that out of ordinary and one can argue might be the norm. so let’s dial back the “aint paid much” lines there.
Joe / Pete,
to be fair & honest, don’t overstate the value of unions and how “little” union folks get paid and that it’s not enough, ….

“CGar…can you recite the names of all the kids who were on the “special needs” bus??
Two obese patties, Special Ross….”
ROFL, Dave! I never heard that, which shocks me actually. Very, very funny. Not at all PC, but very funny nonetheless.
What’s everyone eating for lunch?

IJ, you absolutley correct, just remember what happened at stella dorrio in the bronx, closed.
I just got word this morning that they’re considering it and it’s 70% likely 🙁

To me that means they’re working out the kinks and stuff, it’s 70% complete, not 70% still being decided.
