Rail workers opt out of several government programs when they sign on with the railroad companies.

Among them is Social Security.

You don't qualify for benefits under railroad retirement until 10 years of service minimum and if you leave before that, you obviously don't have any social security credits for that time frame.

Sick days and on call times are also "special" the more you dig into it.

While technically covered by FMLA, most rail companies force employees to go to court to get covered under it after the fact.

tl;dr, it's a real fucking mess.

More to the point, in this entire contract renegotiation, the union bosses, rail companies, and Biden administration were working in lockstep to shove the Biden contract down everyone's throats by fucking with the voting systems in the unions, hiding rules, refusing to release contract details until after they voted on it, etc.

The vote fraud alone should be a reason for Republicans to be demanding a yes vote on this followed by a special investigation into the Biden administration's meddling in union voting processes.

I had a 14 pro max order that I cancelled. Was tempted to give them a chance but then all this blew up and I yeeted that order. Thank God for supply chain issues giving me time to regret my purchase, LOL.

Now moving to grapheneos.

20 years from now military veterans will be calling this their Agent Orange situation.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my thoughts on this in the spirit they are written.

I agree that as an elected official I don't think she stands a chance outside of her island. That said, there may be an opportunity for her to help move Hawaii out of the DNC stranglehold.

DJTJR was also on Tucker, as was Greenwald.

He is, for better or worse, one of the last few outposts on tradmedia where people who get cancelled can still have a voice.

I'll reiterate that the point of this post was to have a discussion in which we assume good faith on her part for the point of discussing where she would fit into an America First agenda.

Yes, I know this is an unpopular subject, but someone once reminded me that everyone has to have at least some chance at redemption, so I figured discussion from a game theory perspective might be useful.

PFAS are the new followon to the lead poisoning as we are seeing very similar dispersion effects across the globe.

  1. Trump is fallible
  2. Trump relies on those who work for him
  3. Trump can be lied to.

Ergo:

When it comes to personal decisions regarding your body, that's a you problem, not a Trump problem.

Most of them weren't docs, but woke nurses.

And no, it is not bad that you hope that they reap consequences for their actions.

I take every opportunity to remind my leftist acquaintances when the next boosters come out (so literally every quarter I'm encouraging them to get clotted up)

The damage they have done to individuals and the world is simply not calculable. Hellfire is too good for them.

Should we all mass-report the ADL account as "spreading hate"?

This is why I get copies of med records before I leave facilities.

This is why I get badge numbers of police and plates of police cars.

You can get told "that data doesn't exist" right up until you provide your copy at which point the other party shits their pants.

The USD doesn't have an unlimited supply cap, that's why we literally have gov shutdowns every 6 years or so.

Yeah, I'm REALLY curious about who the RNC stakeholders were that agreed to this and where they went afterwards.

Honestly I picked a shit day to post this, but I needed to type it out while it was clanging around in my brain. We've got some 14 or so stickies right now, but at least I can repost this when the fervor dies down a bit to request some Heavy Lifting.

As someone well versed in Federal Continuity Directives, no, it does not.

Becoming speaker and impeaching the POTUS and VPOTUS would literally be Reconstitution.

He could also announce he's running for Speaker. It's an outside chance, but it would be fucking HILARIOUS.
