A lot of you know that my job is to haul coal as an overpaid union railroad worker. The company would like to eliminate my job, but they don't have it down pat yet.
I do have it down. Earlier in the thread, I said, "I know how to make the coal pay me to haul itself ".
Ain't nobody going to bite on this?

Wes, we know who the single corporate investor is, they're over in the far east and have buying up our debt at a dizzy pace. Simply put, they are at the beginning of a industrial revolution, similarly to where this nation was 100 years ago. It will catch up to them, as a communist nation they will be a regime change soon enough due to the accelerated pace of growth and the mega separation between the haves and have nots.
Addressing issue with farms, many of the farmers here in California have done one of two things, sold out to developers or over used insecticides for the last half century and ruined their land. No this is not a fact so please don't quote me, however when I go to the store and buy fruit or veggies, they've often got those little pesky stickers that say "product of..." which of course makes me think we bought the farm on that market too.
And on to the union job that you have, that I have, and maybe some of the others here also give thanks for. Yes I'm overpaid for what I do, it's really an assembly job more then anything but it's in a industry that is known for super spending and I don't object to a little of it landing in my wallet. However it is an industry that for the time being and near future is only thinning a bit. Some jobs have gone to Canada, some to Europe, but for the most part it's an industry started and based here in the states and not leaving. What is threatening it is a flood of non union labor and a upper management that only sees bottom line and profits. I'd be happy to do my position at a lower rate but I could no longer afford to live in L.A. with a comfortable life style. Unfortunately L.A. is where most of the work is based. And I'd miss the great health care our union provides. At the same time that we're shedding jobs we recorded another record year.
