Port strike coming… not going to be good!
Not the same thing. If your job hits a ceiling with no chance of progression, that falls behind the inflation rate causing you to lose buying power, and all you do is complain that others make too much. That's what I'm referring to. I don't know the conditions that longshoremen have or are...- Pok

He likely doesn't care one bit. His job is to be a shitbag negotiator and make the best deal possible. He's paid to be an asshole- Pok

To be fair, and somewhat even: Unions buy corrupt politicians, and they are expensive. Company owners do the same, but they don't have the buying power of a big union. The system sucks, but it's not exactly the working man's fault. It's more of a "swamp" issue- Pok

Port strike coming… not going to be good!
I gotta disagree If things were produced here there'd be no need for all this. Companies moved production to foreign nations because the labor plus the cost of shipping combined is cheaper than producing here at the living standard that Americans require. To push for these guys to make less, is...- Pok

I'm not getting too deep with all this. Nothing anyone says will sway the union vs non-union shit people believe. Just a couple things I know Ports in Philadelphia are owned and run by local govt (The Port Authority) They lease locations to companies, but have the authority over all of it 60%...- Pok

Shooter was Yernick not Crooks. Why they scrub both social media?
If it was Yearick, and not Crooks, then where tf is crooks. If he's mysteriously found dead somewhere it makes you go hmmm. If it wasn't Yearick then where tf is he. One of these two asshats should be all over social media spouting that it wasn't me- Pok
