    For this kind of thing to stop, people need to get real. We need someone to take it for the team and crowbar this guy’s knees.

    Words don’t have meaning to these people. Logic, Reasoning is beyond comprehension.

    Aren’t we at a point finally where maybe after so much debating, arguing, compromising and negotiating that has fallen through that maybe a lick of violence is the answer?

    I can tell you if we took a crowbar to at least 10 Executives, throw 5 CEOs out from the highest windows and entrap 20 middle managing power-tripping pricks. I’m sure this would be a huge U-Turn for these people.

      Why commute to work when you can just become a terrorist and spend all your time in prison?

        Do you get off work for Labor Day?

        If you do… Maybe next year you should take that time to read up on the history of all of those luxuries (yes, luxuries. And when they’re gone you’ll realize how many you did have), and how we were able to obtain them.

        Do you like weekends? Do you like the concept of the 8 hour work day? The concept of a minimum wage? People literally died for us to have these things enshrined in law.

        If you don’t get off Labor Day, well…

        If you want to look outside the US, have you heard of May Day (AKA International Workers Day)? Or even fucking Bastille Day if you want to really go back? Take a look at the bloody histories of these holidays when you have a chance.

        This was literally the only way we got to where we are. And now those things people literally died for are being stripped away from us and we are doing nothing.

        You say that but that’s literally how we got all the ‘good’ stuff we enjoy as employees now, in the US at least. Guys wbacj then literally went to war against the bosses and physically forced them to the metaphorical table.

        Well I guess in your world view, it’s okay for them to steal everything out from you both physically and mentally even if it’s illegal. But to do anything back, then it’s just unfair. Pffft…
