  • I got a story for you, flud. My dad used to work for a bus company here in New York. He worked for this company for ten whole years. Five days a week, he would get up at 3AM, drive nearly an hour to the bus yard, and start working his shift all the way to around 6:30PM when public transportation closes. He was entitled to four week-long vacations a year, and he would work through three of them, only because his union requires all working to take atleast one each year. He would work through holidays, and he never took a single sick or personal day. One day, Bloomberg/levee forces all public transportation companies to go up for bid, and the owners had to bid back on their company. Well, the owner of this bus company lost the bid. He lost it to some rich man who lives in texas. Do you know what this Texan did? He fired everyone from the company, and sold it off again within a week. Thats over 300 drivers, desk workers, and mechanics with families who got screwed out of a job. Just so some sociopath could make an extra buck. Not only is that not right, but it hurts people, including you. Three hundred people are out of work, which means less money circulates and blah blah blah, you know how it works. Now lets say these people had a wife and atleast one kid. Thats 900 people who now just barley scrape by just to have bread at the end of the week. Everything about how the current system works is extremely flawed, and you have to be extremely ignorant and arrogant to even think otherwise, or to even say you don't care.
