The Random Thought Thread
Do they call the surgical procedure to go from female to male an Adadictomy? 
Why in the world do they pack anti-static peanuts in plactic bags?
Think. About. It.

Gotta wonder how many takes it took to all make the putt. They all had to putt at almost the same speed too.
I was on hold so long that I forgot who I called. 
Milwaukee seems a lot like Memphis north. A lot of decaying infrastructure, drivers that like to swing across 3 lanes in one move at highway exits, and similar choke points on the major highways. I’ve kind of felt at home the past two days.
johnnydoom I used to drive a semi and deliver new glass bottles into all the breweries in Milwaukee. Yes, they have/had several, whether anyone knew that or not 
. I was surprised, no, shocked to find out the workers were allowed to drink while on the job, for free. Huge coolers in the break rooms and they could take it with them to work areas.
Just an insight of sorts, into the people of Milwaukee. Breweries employ a lot of people.
And now, today, the auto workers want to make more than most doctors in the U.S..
Because motor vehicles are more important than any life.
Worthless fucks. Hope they starve to death while on strike.

propman Ever take a gander at other companies, such as John Deere? See what their quarterly/yearly net profits are, and see what their products sell for? Then look at what their employees earn. I'd say those employees are damn well taken care of.
The profits of a company is of nobody's damn business except for owners/shareholders, when they are well paid.
All UAW members are well paid, if not grossly overpaid.
signed: Former UAW member-steward/worker** that was totally against the outrageous raises we sought/received.
**The company shut down several factories due to.......overhead!!!
propman They'll never get their pensions back but given what the brass gets in compensation, the workers have been screwed
All employment is 'at will'. Don't like the job/pay......quit !!
Well they pay union dues, so before they quit, they'll probably see how much the uaw can squeeze from the corp bigwigs.
We'll see how this ends up pretty soon, imho.

I think it's going to get very cold for the picket lines.
Turning down, flat cold, 20%+ is more than out of line. And wanting in excess of $300K/year is just something from a Rod Serling episode.
BTW....I was in the same local union that Dennis Williams was. Hell of a nice guy, but now he's in prison. And I'm not.
I bought my new golf clubs with money earned/worked for.
Who is going to make $300,000 a year? From what I hear, the avg hourly union wage is $30 something.
The starting wage was $15.xx back in 2008 and hasn't gone up since.
What's the ford CEO making? $30 mil! I'm sure his underlings aren't doing too bad either.
propman What's the ford CEO making? $30 mil!
See, that's the mentality of union workers.....'how much is someone else is making'!! None of their business, nor should it be a concern to them/for them. They applied for and took the positions they are currently in, at the wages/duties that came with. TOTALLY different place than where that CEO applied.
I see cherry picking. The avg Joe or some say the middle class should receive a living wage.
I see so much verbal crap about how everyone is so concerned about the middle class. Talk is cheap.
