There are so many differences between this strike and the railroad strike you seem blissfully ignorant about. E g., a railroad strike would've halted all domestic and international trade within the US at the height of this last inflationary period, immediately having a negative impact on literally every American's life, whereas this dockworkers' strike only affected overseas imports/exports, leaving all domestic and North American trade intact and not immediately disrupting literally every American's life.

Either way, the Biden Admin kept pressure on railroad owners for a contract in line with the railroad workers' demands, and they won it.

So bailing out who? Sounds like they're bailing out the people by building a more resilient energy grid, which some might instead define as an investment in the future

Biden literally did not cave to anything. This has nothing to do with Biden. The port owners and operators are the ones the workers were striking against lmao

No one is reading your paragraphs and paragraphs of text, fyi. After the first two sentences we stop.

Pretty crazy how quickly the owners rolled over for a 62% pay increase. Jesus Christ how much were they fucking over these workers before

We must not let our government stop another major strike.

They aren't, and haven't even implied they will. In fact, the Biden Admin has clearly communicated they stand on the side of the workers.

Also, the longshoreman strike is over, per lots of media reports since you wrote this screed two hours ago.

It's not tasteful, but you're right

I understand why you would be cynical but don't understand at all how you came to that conclusion

If you shoot someone in your home who you previously invited into your home, you're going to prison.

The court's decision in Toma's case may have stemmed from several factors. When Sencuk applied for the protective order, he indicated Toma was a roommate — not the homeowner — so the nature of their relationship may not have been clear to the judge.

Additionally, Sencuk claimed he and Toma had an agreement that he would perform various maintenance and chores around the property in exchange for living in the garage, which may have seemed credible to the court. Toma denies this arrangement ever existed.

However, since the protective order was issued, Sencuk has moved out.

The guy never claimed "squatters rights," he sought a protective order against the other people in the house and lied to get it, then moved out before it was even issued

Sales hurting your brain is only indicative of a healthy moral compass

 

I know this will sound callous of me, but fuck this NIMBY bullshit, and also KVUE for promoting it. This apartment complex is going up a 60 second walk from the Highland Station on the Red Line. Throw a rock and you can hit both Airport Blvd and 2222. This is the geographical center of Austin near some of the busiest intersections in the city. It's not reasonable to expect the vacant lot behind your house will stay that way.

 

"Gwen" means "white" in a variety of Celtic languages

 

"City" in common. Incredible performance of an incredible song.

 

Like the 13th Floor Elevators, Grupo Fantasma is from Austin, TX. Also, they're covering a song from over 15 years prior

 
 

From care to careless

 

Shake, baby, shake, sha-shake, sha-shake, work it, work it

 

Also a drum corps

 

Born or machine, pick your poison

 

El Paso is a ballad about the American Frontier, with incredible vocal harmonies

 

The man said while waiting for his rideshare to arrive, he was flagged down by the suspect. Mistakenly thinking it was his rideshare, he got into the front seat without verifying the vehicle or driver information.

According to the affidavit, the suspect offered the man a drink from an open container, which he accepted. The man said shortly after taking a drink, he blacked out and had no memory of what occurred for several hours.

Yeah please don't do this
