It’s been a roller coaster of emotions not gonna lie lol. My company is shutting down operations at the end of the year so I have to find new employment. Probably going to leave the beer industry and try to join a union or something idk yet. I am forklift certified and in beer I work with pipes, chemicals and water all the time so I might look into plumbing or waste water. I don’t want to bar tend again but I can do that for a bit while I find something permanent.
Then yesterday we found out that my wife is pregnant. I am so excited and kinda scared all at once. Yesterday I was just on edge all day. Only way I can describe it is the final moments right before kickoff in football or the whistle blowing to start a wrestling match. I wrestled in high school and college and played football in high school. If you have done competitive sports you know what I am talking about. That feeling but all day.
Hit the gym and then killed the last beers in my fridge. Gonna go out with the guys at work one last time in December but other than that I am gonna be sober during my wife’s pregnancy.
Also since the Charlie Kirk assassination the fog of war has been very dense and sometimes I don’t know what to believe.
So it’s probably best if I step back anyways unless something huge happens.
I will be making a post for vaccine information in a couple of months cause my wife is not red pilled on it and that’s the thing that terrifies me the most. I don’t want that poison or any of these freak big pharma doctors and nurses near my child.
God bless and Christ is King.
I generally agree the vast majority of unions are a terrible thing & that it encourages despots to grab power at the top at some point, may e not initially, but it does at some point.
That said, there have been times historically where the unions were the only way to get business owners to ethically fulfill contracts. IIRC (it was a Glenn Beck episode that gave the history lesson) it was Rockefeller that fired employees months before they would obtain the house they were contractually given for working on the railroad. Fired simply so they didn't ge the house. Unions formed to force him to maintain those contracts IIRC.
Unfortunately, as with all centralized power, over time evil individuals get into those positions & then we get things like union dues paying for things that workers would never accept individually.
Ultimately I houve found Unions always end up destroying companies & organizations, though it seems often historically they did have a reason to be started due to some business owners who didn't want to fulfill their side of a contract. I don't know how how often that happens in the world today, but the mindset is still assumed to be there by pro union types from my experience.
Unions were never needed. Consumers can simply choose to work with other companies who treat their employees better. If that isn't happening, then the free market has determined that what those workers want are luxuries, not necessities. Instead of forming a union, these workers could have just decided to build their own railroads instead.
You will always find reasons for socialism, but at its heart, it is greed. If companies are making billions of dollars, that is none of the worker's concern. Unions are just a shake down to take what the company has produced. Workers agree to a pay rate and benefit, and if they don't like it, they can just quit.
