the fact dumbasses here are splitting hairs around sick leave, safety, and insane schedules is absurd. All are serious problems that shouldn't exist.
and it was viscerally demonstrated with multiple train crashes occurring during the period the unions were threatening to strike.
someone needs to lay off the coolaid. OH NO public healthcare, education, and worker rights are DANGEROUS!
n working continuously to get guaranteed paid sick days for all railroad workers.
so they've been paying lip service and not actually accomplishing it? sounds about right. you don't get credit for lipservice.
I was happy with the union busting changings though. but that is likely admin dependent.
every single fucking time with my fellow left wing morons. trying to dunk on the democrats by using manchin of all people. lol
a pretty dumb one at that if they don't recognize that manchin isnt the problem with the democratic party. you want to dunk on the liberals fine, I'm right there with you I'm about as left wing as they come but manchin isn't the person you hold up and say 'THIS IS WHY LIBERALS ARE BAD' schumer or someone that actually represents the group holistically.
i'm left wing as they come mate I just recognize that 50 > 1. if we want to dunk of the democratic party there are better people to dunk on that are more representative of the liberal failings as a group.
age limits; term limits have some actual negatives like getting rid of good representatives and increasing corruption.
Your shit-ass party owns this monster.
Your shit-ass party owns the other 50 monsters. so i'll take the hit for this one.
its hard to get a person who living is based on a lie to see the truth.
why the west is so extremely powerful, that is the answer.
again you cite something without any evidence to back it up. its not capitalism that granted the west dominance. its geography. post world war 2 every country not in the americas was absolutely gutted economically, culturally. the 'west' (i.e. capitalism) came to true prominence during this era when literally every other country was in tatter the USs economic engine was basically pumping on full cyclinders. it just happens that the US was also practicing capitalism at the same time; china which is not a capitalist country rivals the US in economic power today.
the US protected from most of the devastation of the war due to the oceans protecting it borders was the only country able to support rebuilding and retooling the rest of the world. its pure dumb geography that lead to this situation not any intrinsic merits of capitalism. not to mention during the war the US had more characteristics of a centrally planned economy than a capitalist one. go figure.
wikipedia napkin math.
with 1.15 million and at least two million reserve personnel.~3.15 million personelle. ukraine hasnt killed that many; probably around 300k. their probably talking about the number of troops in ukraine. which is probably around 700k for the duration of the war. if you count just the 1.15mil is probably close to it now.
