  • I was responding to the statement that the unions were being sensational. They were accurately stating the facts.

    It's been a while since I looked into usps, and I'm sure someone will know more, but I know there is a difference in either the union or simply the union contract for rural workers, warehouse workers and the rest of their workforce. But if all of these issues are accurate for rural workers then they should push to replace their union leadership or change unions. Dropping union membership all together almost always impacts workers negatively in the long run.

  • Your statement is incorrect and I'm guessing it's because you're pushing antiunion nonsense. The reason they need the signatures by May is because that's when the new contract goes into effect. If they drop the union before the contract, then they'd have to renegotiate their contract, lose their union stewards and representatives and... you know what, exactly the part you put in quotes.

  • For starters, she said bluntly, “we know everything is going to get denied.” It’s almost a given, she said, that the insurer will lose the first batch of records. “We often have to send records two or three times before they finally admit they actually received them. … They play all of these kinds of delaying games.”

    Fucking evil. We need health care reform now. You can't morally justify playing with people's lives like this. The suits running investment firms that own the hospitals and the suits running the insurance companies will keep cancer treatment from a child because they want to spend their winters in Tahiti and their summers in Patagonia. We have to make this stop.

  • Yeah, I mean the reality we need to not be lazy fuckers and rely on the president to fix this issue. These structural issues only get changed by our personal political actions. Call your representatives, donate time and/or money to political campaigns and organizations you belive in, find out ways to get involved. Some person or organization out there right now is probably trying to achieve something you think would make this place better to live. Stand with them. Do something, do anything, just dont bitch and be cynical online about how nothing is can ever be done. Does that attitude help you get anything done in your personal life?

  • I grilled dinner tonight out on our deck wearing a painters mask because the smoke from the wildfires around here is so thick it looks like it's pissing rain outside. Only when I caught myself in the mirror with my plate, mask and tongs did I start to think, this seems a little odd.
