Here's a hint: one of your guesses about me is right. The other is wrong. I'll leave it to you to figure out which is which.

Figure it out? You are such a worthless clown. Why don't you tell me how you can kick my ass some more.

That isn't what I said. This is what I said:

"I guess I'm supposed to say something like, 'Yeah, I'm an old man but I can still kick the shit out of a piece of garbage like you.'"

Do I have to explain what that sentence means? Would you understand if I did?

I don't know whether I could kick your ass and I don't care. Unlike you, I don't think the desire and the ability to inflict physical harm on someone else is a positive trait.

I say shut down all this reliance on transportation and start producing it local again.

Nice! Back on topic.

My first impulse...was why are they striking?

However Sheltiedave's excellent input set me straight.

WTF Clown? I know what you were saying. I'm saying you're a pathetic little punk (Not A Man) who talks shit he can't back up.

My violent behavior is nothing but your dementia lying to you.

Hurry up & drop dead already.

Plus one.
An acquaintance runs one of those container pickers down at LA Harbor, big guy with an amazing set of dreadlocks and cute blond wife. Nicest guy you ever want to meet.

It's a dangerous profession with long shifts, we oughta pay 'em more.

Pay cuts should take place in the name of income equality. Just fix any safety issues if they exist.

This message is hidden because djv8ga is on your ignore list.

You still here? Pfffffttt.

[djv8ga]

Scabs should be brought in tomorrow & negotiations should be shelved until workers agree that they are overpaid. Income equality deniers need to be taught a lesson.

Don't you have some Poison Oak or Manzanita to plant?

Nice so the top manager will get the same pay as the operator.
