The kids will be better off if they DO strike. I say, go for it!

Angry that one promised raise disappeared and that they’re being asked to work longer days without what they consider to be an adequate pay increase, Chicago teachers are considering authorizing their first strike in a quarter-century
How about being thankful they still have jobs? How about being thankful they have not been asked to take pay cuts? Or benefit cuts?
That’s what we in the real world have to deal with.

Translation: Parents might actually have to stay home and take care of their kids. God forbid, a parent actually has to pour a bowl of cereal or make a sandwich.

Can’t say I feel too sorry for Chicago.

Let them strike. Perhaps it will convince a few of the lib brain-dead in Chicago to re-think the whole leftist/public union thing.

Most of these parents have enough money for booze, drugs, lottery tickets, etc. We can’t expect them to give up those necessities to feed their kids.

Strike away. Let everyone see the greedy union bosses for what they are.
As for the parents that whine the free day care and free meals will be interrupted, they can take the time to learn to be a parent. Shoot, they could even start a neighborhood watch and try and improve the neighborhood.
