BUYDONE SIGNS RAIL AGREEMENT INTO LAW. FUCKING OVER THE WORKING CLASS!
Isn’t it interesting that the government can’t seem to get shit done to help “the people” but the minute the corporate overlords demand action the political class stumble over themselves to provide whatever is necessary to keep everyone “in their place”.
President Buydone repeated carrier and union talking points. He touted the 24 percent wage increase as something “historic.” But the truth is that that wage increase is spread out over five years!
And once you factor in that the workers’ have gone three years without any pay raises at all, this amounts really to a cut in real wages after inflation is factored in. Thanks a lot Joe!
Tubularsock has a theory that the reason one of Buydone’s sons chose cancer and died and why another son became a coke addict was because with a father like Joe …. either go or blow!
And as for the public …….. the next time a Democrap spouts off about being the party of labor will somebody cram that statement right up their ass!
And the gull of Nancy and Chuck acting like their “outside amendment” of pushing for 6 sick days with pay” rather than including it in the main bill was created as ALL SHOW AND NO GO! Fuck them both. Kind of makes Tubularsock regret that that “hammer-attack” hadn’t been directed at Nancy!
Now of course, that is not to say that the Republican’ts give a damn about those who actually work for a living ……. they are the one’s that blame inflation on wages of those that work.
And wow …… our foreign policy is geared and heavily greased for the ol’ profit motive as well.
Ukraine has nothing to do with our money supply …… we’ll just make it out of thin air so we can murder the women, children and men of Ukraine. And YOU thought we are there to protect democracy! SUCKERS!
No, whether it is making money off the backs of working slobs or killing and mutilating women and children doesn’t really matter. What matters is profit. THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS.
So what is the solution?
Wouldn’t it be fun to see ALL UNIONS join in a TOTAL WALK OUT in protest just before Christmas! SHUT IT DOWN AT ALL LEVELS.
Even the Reindeer Union! And shit on Santa’s boot!
Ideas can be left for free in the comments. And let’s go for creative solutions. Eating the rich is so old school!
Tubularsock 
Good luck for solving that problem.

Bravo, Tubularsock!
It’s obvious that government works for itself, at the expense of those who pay its way, meaning those people who provide the human capital to keep trains running on the tracks. Before that, those people pounded the nails and rails to make the tracks, and the engines that ran on them.
This is the latest example of what the “robber barons” did in the 1830s, when the US was expanding its railroads westward. Players like JP Morgan, JD Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, and others squeezed labor for obscene profits, using government to kowtow to their demands.

Thank you KO. You are right on the mark. This has been an endless cycle of the wealthy using their power to increase their wealth and power. Yet it appears that it has never made them happy if you look at their lives.
However the working classes seldom catch on to just how powerful they are and could take full charge of their lives and demand change. And in general they don’t seem to be happy either.
Just maybe there is something missing here.
And that is a spiritual component of what we are and this is NOT composed of “religion” which has been prostituted into a power grab and control mechanism.
Just a Tubularsock thought.
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Cheers.

Agreed. The spiritual component seems to make even the worst conditions bearable. Funny you should mention it. I just finished re-reading “Magister Ludi” by Hermann Hesse, about the benefits of spirituality in an otherwise intellectual, self-contained world. “Atlas Shrugged” also comes to mind. Both novels extoll intellect over manual labor, without giving credit to those who built their idyllic paradises.

Tube,
I read the article. The idea that so many people are comfortable in their unexamined lives no longer disturbs me. I can still smile at them in the grocery store and chit-chat about the price of milk.
I try to meet people on their level, when we meet at all, and I try to leave them smiling. Otherwise, I don’t have much interaction with human beings or robots and prefer the company of animals.

KO, Tubularsock understands your process. Very wise on your part. Tubularsock has found that people are just people and it gives one little pleasure in beating a dead horse.
So Tubularsock too passes through the society with friendly one on one kindness.
As for connection with animals at least you get to interact with intelligence!
Keep up the good work. It is sure easier to move through life that way.
Stay safe and look both ways when you cross the road.
