Well, I am originally from NY .. how bad is that ? Left 40+ years ago. There are good people there, too (hard as that may be to imagine).
But in moving to VA, I came to love and respect the local culture which is so disdained up North. I.e., “Do they wear shoes down there?” isn’t my idea of humor.
Too many transplants lately have no respect for, much less understanding of, why these more conservative states are not quite the basket cases the rust belt states have become.
Thanks for the update!
BTTT
I was born in Fond Du Lac and my dad worked at MM, that beautiful little town is going to be in very big trouble very soon.
Just tell them “bless your heart” Yanks have no idea you are being condecending and insulting to them.. they think you are being kind and sweet.
“Oh, you really believe that? Well bless your heart.”
Its such a great line, its one of the few ways you can insult a person to their face and get a “thank you” from them in return.
In reading up on this further, it looks like the union isn’t on strike, it has just rejected a company proposal to renegotiate the existing contract.
++++++++++++++
Ahh...so two years of bennies courtesy of Wisconsin and US taxpayers. Mebbe they weren’t so stupid. Vile, evil, liberal, socialist, self centered - but not stupid.
Will these jobs go to Oklahoma as non-union jobs? I saw in some midwest town that Selmer musical instrument company threw the union out or shutdown or something. The union workers were stunned.
One said we did everything we could - pickett, boycott and all the normal union agitation crap. And now he was on ths street and was stunned.
Because in two years, no one will need a job; the government will provide us with our every need from cradle to grave.
I would be quiet. I knew someone who worked at a defense manufacturer and the union boys in the shop found out he was a Repub even though he was very low key. He was pushed out in a month.
That may be the same company referred to in my post #187.
They need to hire new workers in OK. NJ transplants are wrecking NC and SC.
Ditto that.
Yes. Selmer Conn make band musical instruments. Frech horns, clarinets, trombones, trumpets, etc.
I think they voted to decertify the union but I thought many of the union employees were tossed in the street where they belonged. The strike went on for years.
LMAO!
At their own expense.
YOu’re right ... have to remember to do that more frequently!
See!! That just goes to show you how outdated it is.
A Job, Fool!! Thats whaat you get to keep!Your math is way off too! but thats the way Democrats do the math for their so called loyal worker bees:-) Oh, and where are these machinists going to get a job when the free-bees run out?
