Unions 7

Not my Job, ever hear that?  Unfortunately in Todays world we hear it all to often, but not half as much like it's thrown around in a union shop.  Specifically, the UAW.  UAW has to be my favorite union.  These people are on point.  I have had the pleasure of knowing some of these people for the last twenty years.  However, I would like to point out some of the more recent bullshit that this union and it's members are doing.

First and foremost, where's the Solidarity?  Solidarity is the Fucking UAW's motto.  Hell, it's the name of their magazine!  I live just south of Louisville, KY which host a nice big Ford plant.  They build trucks there and get parts from all over to assemble there.  Thirty minutes away is another UAW Unionized plant that provides parts for the Ford plant.  Same union, two different plants.  Both plants are assembly, they make some shit there but not like every nut and bolt, they both get parts from all over and in the end there is a F-150 at the dealership.

Here's the issue, I know this guy that works at the second plant and here's the difference.  About $15.00 on the hour!  Where's the Solidarity UAW?  What about profit sharing checks that are $400.00 a year compared to $7000.00 a year.  Where's the Solidarity UAW?  One plant gets short week pay the other does not.  Where's the Solidarity UAW?  If that main plant shut down due to the Derby or a U of L football game or the Final Four the other plants don't work and they don't have short week pay.  Where's the Solidarity UAW?  How is that protecting your workers?  Your members pay you for your protection, where is it?  You just increased their dues by 25% yes a 25% increase in dues in order to increase the Strike fund but this other plant has a no strike clause that you (THE UAW) put in the contract!!!  So this June or July when the main plant strikes, you know because they have benefits, it will shut down the others and the others don't have the bene's.  Where's the Solidarity UAW?  How can one union, different locals but the same union, have a cost of living bonus in one plant yet another plant a half mile away doesn't?  Where's the solidarity UAW?

Here's the kicker with Solidarity, this guy I know works for the "other" plant but still has been a UAW member for three years.  And BTW not making the 39 bucks an hours that the UAW boast of average wages.  Ok, more like the mid teens!!  Also up until last June the UAW collected dues that a portion of which went to produce and publish and automatically mail to it's members the "Solidarity" magazine. He has never received a copy, nor to my knowledge anyone that he works with.  Where's the money going?  If you dig you can find it.

I don't get to read most of this stuff on the message board that he is part of, but from what I hear is a bunch of babies crying about having to work a Sunday once every three months or so....  Now let's go back a little and say 40 bucks at time and a half = 60 bucks.  If it's a Sunday or holiday then it's dbl time which is 80 bucks plus your holiday pay, makes it 120 dollars an hour and people are complaining about it.  When it's all said and done that new truck cost you forty grand, you now know why!!!  But seriously, this guy has been to both plants and it's the same, piles of dirt at the end of the shift, nobody stocking for the next guy, shit like well the computer screen says that's not in the sequence to do my job therefore I don't have to do it.

Again, Bottom line is Unions Suck!  They don't do a thing but make American jobs go south or over seas.  That's just a FACT.  The Jobs that they do have here increase the cost of everything that you buy, and for what reason?  So, some Fat Bastard can make a couple of hundred grand a year off of your sweat?  So he can spend 40 million of YOUR hard earned dollars in ONE WEEKEND???  Wake The Fuck Up People!!!!

Your Tax Dollars At Work!!!

Just when you think we as a society could not getting any more STUPID, something like this pops up.  This pic is not photo shopped. it was taken on I-65 north bound just past the on ramp of Exit 112.  In the Great Bluegrass State BTW.  These two signs both read the exact same thing, "Speed Limit 70".  They are also Fifteen Fucking Feet Apart!!!

Now I don't know what it cost to produce, install, and maintain a road sign, but even if it was free surely we don't need two of them fifteen feet apart.  At best we have a roadside distraction with people traveling at speeds greater than 70, I mean let's not kid ourselves.  I mean you see the one sign look down at your speedometer and say to yourself "I'm good" then as you get closer BAMM there's another.  So you know it's gonna take your eyes off the road, try to turn your neck around, thinking to yourself WTF did that say???  Maybe look at your passenger, "Hey, did you see that"?

However, what it looks like to me is a bunch of unionized government workers trying to justify their jobs.  Or they're to Fucking sorry to look at their boss and say, "WTF man, there is a sign right there".  My experience is they probably said Fuck it, it's a union gig and we get paid to put up a sign.

People this is not a KY problem.  This is a Federal Hwy with Federal Tax Dollars at work.  So the next time you hear your politician say we need to raise the gas tax.  Our roads and bridges and tunnels are falling apart.  Or you local city and county crying about land taxes that the winter was so bad and we had to use to much salt.   You just might want to give them a call.  You just might want to tell them to spend the money they have a little bit more wisely.  Just Sayin, I mean it's your cash!!!

A Time To Remember...

I wasn't going to blog Today, I was just going to let somber be somber.  However, I came across a list that one of my FB friends posted and it really hit home with me.

You see people remember the Revolutionary War, Civil, the Dough Boys, the Greatest Generation, starting to remember the Forgotten Ones of Korea, the Ones that were Spit on from Vietnam but so many are forgotten.  Below is a list of my brothers and sisters that didn't make it back from Desert Shield/Desert Storm.  Remember these brave souls Today, for today is about them as well as all of the fallen.  This list doesn't include the thousands that have died from Gulf War Illness nor the countless numbers of Veterans that took their own lives due to PTSD.  If I have missed anyone, I deeply apologize.

Memorial Day!!!

Memorial Day, is tomorrow, the 25th of May 2015.  It's has become the "unofficial" start of summer, which means BBQ's. parties, pool openings, and sales.  It hurts my heart to see this see this most sacred day turned into a day off work or day to catch up on chores that you have been putting off.  Don't get me wrong, I do think the day should be a celebration, it's just when you look around at your neighbors, your coworkers, or the clerk at your local grocery store, it seems everyone has forgotten the reason why it is a National Holiday.  This day was named to remember the Fallen.  All those Soldiers, Sailors, Airman, and Marines that did not COME HOME.  You should remember all of our brothers and sisters that are buried in France, the MIA's from Vietnam, the forgotten ones from Korea, the ones

that have died over the last 239 years so we could have the day off, or the fireworks, and the "holiday" pay.  This day is not about the Veterans nor the Active duty so don't thank them.  If you feel the need to say something, say "I'm glad you're home and I'll be thinking about your fallen brothers and sisters, Today, I'm going to celebrate their sacrifice".

I know at this point in my life I'm not going to die in combat, for that I am grateful and sadden at the same time.  Grateful that God has seen merciful enough to give me another day on this beautiful earth and sadden that my brothers are not here with us.  However, when he does call me home, don't be sad, there should be a celebration.  And that's what Memorial Day should be.  So go have your BBQ's and picnics, cut your grass, have a party and get lively, Just remember and send a toast or a salute to those that gave all so we have the FREEDOM to do so.


Below is a YouTube link of a boy giving his all to saulte the Soldiers that stormed Omaha Beach in 1944.  Please Watch, it's amazing!!!

Free College!!!

Free college?  Every Demoncrat on Capitol Hill, along with No' Bama in the White House is screaming for FREE COLLEGE.  Well, when are people going to realize that nothing in this life is FREE.  I hate that word FREE.  Would someone please show me something that is FREE.  Because when you try, I'll show you someone that had to pay it.  The only thing in this life that is FREE is God's grace and people I'm telling you that even God will make your sorry ass get up and tend the garden.

For a long time people were screaming, "Gotta have a HS diploma, Gotta have a HS diploma", I mean it was like chicken little!  There did that get us?  We have basketball/football players that can barely read and write but they graduate college with a degree.  We have students that get passed though grades just so the teacher won't have to deal them, "Better luck to the guy next year!!".  Bottom line is education starts at home.  If Mom and Dad aren't sitting down with their kids reading books to them and listen to their children read, then it will never work.  If the parents do not look at report cards, talk to their kids teacher, get involved in what's going on, then it will never work.

But let's get back to this FREE thing.  We have FREE college now. It's called join the Military.  Plain and simply, join the Army.  Don't like the Army, ok there are another three branches plus the Coast Guard out there.  After 9-11 the Dept. of Defense (DOD) change the GI Bill.  Now if you give them three years, you're covered 100% for your education .  A full four year degree, that covers tuition in any state school of your residence, $1000.00 a year for books and supplies, and housing to the max of an E-5's Basic Allowance for housing (BAH) in the area in which you live.  The BAH will come out to be $1000 to $1500 per month.  If you can't be a poor student striving to make a better life for yourself and live off that than you got a problem.

Some people say, but Dave not all people can be Soldiers?  And I agree with you, I've seen many of Shit Bags I would have kicked out.  But let's look at the civilian world.  UPS has tuition reimbursement.  Most of those guys work four hour shifts which would be perfect for a college student.  Beyond that Micky D's, BK, Taco Bell, etc... They have the same.  Wally World, gas stations, every corporation out there has some type of assistance.  Add all that with normal state and fed. aid and you can go to school. FACT, just FACT.  Now I'm not saying you can go to the bar and party every night but you can go to school.  So, some say Mommy and Daddy make to much money for aid and they can't/won't pay for me to go to school.

Let's look at that:

168 hrs in the week, Full time load is 12 hrs a week
-12
156 left, They say for every hour in the classroom, you have to do three outside to study/papers, etc..
-36
120 left, Let's give then eight hours of sleep a night
-56
 64 left, That's 64 hours a week to go to WORK, holy shit, did I just say WORK.  That's work play do whatever you can afford to do.  I don't care, I just don't want to pay for your Spring Break, Your Frat parties, your basting in beer weekends.  Do it yourself. It cam be done.

When are we going to get away from this FREE Shit??  Nothing is FREE, someone has to pay for it!!!

tHORNTONS 2

Ain't this a Bitch.  We got back from the Ruck March Saturday, Jo and I got cleaned up, ate, took a nap, etc...  Just after 2400 (midnight) I shoot an e-mail to tHORNTONS bitching about several dozen Vets getting kicked out of one of their stores.  No reply, BTW.

At some point yesterday Jo (along with several other Vets) sent one out.  Just before noon Today, Jo gets a call from tHORNTONS HR department, which lead absolutely no where.  However the guy did ask her to pass his name and number off to one of the Vets that actually heard the words  "Get the Fuck out".  My point is I'm still waiting on a reply.  So all I got to say to tHORNTONS is Lick my ass.  I'm not going to shut up and I'm going to tell everybody that I meet what a hunk of shit you people are!!!

#thorntonssucks  They'll be more to follow!

You Race Baiting Bastard!!!

sHARPTONS daughter, next to the Master Baiter
 

So sHARPTON's daughter "sprains" her ankle walking though the streets of NY City, because the streets/sidewalks were uneven.  She then waits several months to sue the City, for Five Million Dollars, I might add.  In the mean time this CBH (for those of you that do not know, that loosely interprets to Cunt, Bitch, Hoar) Instagrams herself climbing mountains, walking in high heels, etc, several times. 

This guy won't pay any of his back taxes, we as a society let him get away with it, because if anybody says anything at all, Holly Fuck, You're a Racist!!!!!! Blacks don't care because it's "screw the Man" and white are afraid to be labeled.  So what's gonna happen and mark my words.... The City of NY will settle with her and she will get paid because this stupid CUNT, BITCH, HOAR can't not look where she is walking.  Yep I said it AL, send your goons my way.  The City knows they can't fight it and they will settle.  Not to mention the Fat Fucking Cunt is to big to walk up MT, if you look close enough you can see the cranes in the background that it took to lift her gargantuan ass up there.  So, the city is Fucked, with means you are Fucked!!!

tHORNTONS, tHORNTONS, tHORNTONS

tHONTONS, will never get another one of my little red pennies again.  So we did the Active Heroes Ruck March on the 16th.  We are walking though downtown Louisville and we come to the corner of Broadway and First St, the Team Lead decides to stop and let everybody grab a snack, some fluids, use the latrine, etc...

Now, it's pissing down the rain outside and I can see that they don't want water all over their floor.  I mean it's a lot of hard work to pick up a mop and stick one of those, Caution, Wet Floor signs by the door.  I don't have the final numbers but I think we were 60+.  They told us Veterans to get what we need and get out. Yep, Get Out!  Several dozen Vet's marching to bring awareness to Veteran suicide got kicked out of tHORNTONS.

People you need to understand that 22, yes Twenty-Two, Vets die each and everyday by their own hand.  There is a FUCKING problem with that.  The only way to combat it is though awareness, therapy, and education.  Active Heroes has a 142 acrea stress free retreat that they are trying to get off the ground please visit their site at activeheroes.org

As far as you Fucks at tHORNTONS, well you can just lick my FUCKING ASS and make sure you get my taint.  I think I miss that sometimes with the TP.  You are some stupid MOTHER FUCKERS.  I'll never let this go.  I'll repost this on Twitter and FB every week until I die.  You Fucking ShitBags!!!

Ruck March 16 May 15

http://activeheroes.org/  22 Veterans commit suicide very day. That's twenty-two that die not from some Fucked Up disease they caught in a foreign land or some bad infection from the hospital. These Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines decide to take their own lives.

Active Heroes is putting on a Ruck March this Saturday in order to bring awareness to this epidemic.  Please visit this link http://activeheroes.org/ to find out more about how you can participate or support their cause.

These Vets pick up a weapon and stood watch for you, Now they need your help!!!
