Yes and, labor unions have foregone bonuses in moments like that. The working class has had to pry those bonuses back.

I don't think contracts are as rigid as most people would imagine. Especially if the rank and file vote not to collect on the bonus.

The math do be mathing though.

That's the fault of the democratic party. They know the level of education the population holds.

Furthermore, I think this is an ideological issue. Liberalism isn't working anymore.

Regrettably most of these people saw an avenue they thought would benefit them economically.

They didn't vote with their brains, they voted with their wallet and based on what they've heard.

Or I'd imagine, if the bonuses were part of the hypothetical collective bargaining agreement's verbage, as an entitlement.

This comment spoke to me. I'm in the trades as well. I vote blue because, its further left than I can get from the red party.

Best of luck. We will need it.

I guess, I don't get the opportunity to ride the bus as often as I would like.

Sure, I guess more social friction will solve the issue.

I'd say getting drunk could also be a cultural thing.

Beating your wife? I could not see as a cultural thing.

I've said it once and I'll say it again. I love the work Lina Khan is doing. Its going to be so sad when Kamala gives her the boot :(

I hear you. I agree with you, it's just hard for me to condemn the loud music and domino games because, from my perspective its people practicing their culture.

I understand that it's inconsiderate and a nuisance to most. I just have really good memories of that kind of culture at that volume. I'm bias.

I loved the film Do The Right Thing as a kid. It was one of my favorite Spike Lee joints.

Radio Raheem was an icon to me. The sound of hip hop in the street. It makes me sad how many people no longer want to interact with others in public.

The alienation of labor is real. Hang in there, we'll need you when things get better.

Televise this, just as Carlin intended.
