You’ve got it all wrong...we need to return to those glory days when 80% of the workforce was in agriculture. There is absolutely no reason why 2% today should do the work of 80% of yesteryear. Taking a bath once a week was pretty cool, too.

That whole Teamster concept really steamed me . . . those guys made more money, didn't have to dryclean or starch their shirts, didn't have to wear a tie, could call-off when they were hungover (if they had the "points" to burn), and worked fewer hours than I.

That, and if they didn't like you (not in my case) they'd throw nuts and bolts at you when you weren't looking . . . and don't get me started on my asshat boss who wanted me to cross their picket line when they went on strike.
