Still doesn't get him where he needs to be to afford all of that.

Just looked up the "yacht'; and it's not a yacht. $550k boat. You can afford that at $1mm per year.

You all better use this downtime to thank a union memba

If he was smart with his money I don’t see why not.  Also, he sold the yacht, so who knows how well he was actually affording it.

They would do this regardless of who is in power. You think airlines strikes around the holidays are accidental?

That's absolutely incorrect.  A competent administration would have lobbied intensively behind the scenes to stop this in its tracks.  The Taft Hartley Act should and could be invoked - but political considerations will prevent this from happening.

This is what the Biden administration is doing -

So airlines aren't striking around the holidays for political pressure? This hasn't happened before under Democrat and Republican administrations? Not sure why this is your response to what I said.

Or do you just need to let off a little steam, because Biden is under your skin?

The strike is tied to the expiration date of the current labor contract - you know, like when the NFL players went on strike

And no, I don't take you seriously enough to get under my skin.  The only way you could get under my skin is if you transformed yourself into Avocado toast which to me has been a culinary disaster ever since it started becoming a thing for breakfast

not all unions support harris and who cares anyway? just because said union is throwing their support to a certain candidate it doesn't mean its members are going to vote for them.  

be happy paying more thanks to your unwavering union support. 

Trump is pro company and anti union. Just ask Elon Musk. Not to mention Project 2025 calls for Union busting.  Kamala has the support of the nation's largest unions. Union members for Trump are voting against their own interests. Cognitive dissonance.

Yeah - avocado toast with an egg and bacon is an amazing breakfast.  Sprinkle a little everything bagel seasoning on that sucker

Big win for Kamala. Thank you Madam Vice President for saving America. 

 

Apparently they got an offer of a 62% wage increase, I guess they’ll fight for the rest in January If they reject the offer.
