General Strike, a very real possibility

[Oldstyle]

It's not going to happen the way you think.

Time will tell. Some Federal Workers are calling in sick. Others, such as those Federal Guards at Federal Prisons are working and not being paid. Likely this violates a rule, regulation or law - clearly it is immoral.

Soon enough, if not already, those who attend church and once put their cash into the basket can not afford to donate to the needy, since they have become needy.

The Priests, Pastors and Rabbis have bills to pay too. And they too have a bully pulpit.

Oh please...they'll all get paid their back wages as soon as the shut down is over. They always do.

The truth is...Democrats can end this today. All they have to do is give Trump the money for border security and all those people you're so concerned about are cashing checks. Their refusal to do so despite the overwhelming majority of Americans being in favor of secure borders is nothing more than politics. They think they can get their pals in the Main Stream Media to spin this as Trump's fault and that will help Democrats in the next election.

Cashing checks? Who does that anymore?

I cashed seven yesterday, Admiral!

You really must be older than dirt? Can you tell me what it was like to ride a dinosaur to school?

I don't think I have "cashed" a check in at least 3 decades.

I teach golf in Florida. Lots of older folks here...some of which always pay by check. Dinosaurs? I guess they are. I haven't written a check myself in probably twenty years.

General Strike Law and Legal Definition:

General Strike is a strike by a majority of the workers in key industries throughout a country in a particular region of the country. ... In particular, a general strike involves virtually every union regardless of industry or occupation.

Since Reagan fired the Air Traffic Controllers the GOP has focused on weakening labor unions and in recent times used the euphemism right to work, for busting unions.

Enough is enough: Trump's callous disregard for the American Worker has come full circle, as Federal Employees are cast aside by his actions to shut down government. Not only will they have bills they cannot pay, the private sector too will soon be closing the doors of retail businesses as Federal Buildings remain empty.

Trump will lose this battle, but too many innocent victims will suffer his ego driven crisis.

I dispute your assumption that Federal Employees are American Workers. Except for truly essential services (military, courts)...they are parasites who feed on real American Workers.

In other news, manufacturing job growth for Real American Workers is soaring in the Trump Era.

Manufacturing Jobs 'Roaring Back'? - FactCheck.org

As of December 2017, there were 12.5 million manufacturing jobs – 1.2 million fewer than there were in December 2007, when the recession started, BLS data show. At last year’s growth rate, it would take until nearly 2023 just to recover the jobs lost during the recession.

Pence made his remarks in an interview with the conservative radio show host Dana Loesch. “Look at the jobs numbers that were just released last week — manufacturing is roaring back,” he said.

327,000 last year alone. You really need to stop listening to the echo chambers dude.


"Employers created 37,000 new manufacturing jobs in July, the Labor Department said Friday, the strongest gain since December and the third straight month in which factory job growth accelerated.

The July numbers may have been nudged upward a bit by vagaries in the data due to annual auto plant shutdowns, but the trend has been firm for the past year and a half. The 327,000 new jobs over the last year represent the best 12-month stretch in 23 years.

Analysts point to several factors that have kept hiring on an upswing, even as they eye growing headwinds."

I even listen to you, and that means I take in opinions and when they are supported by evidence I seek confirmation and evaluate them myself.

Manufacturing has been leaving our shores for decades, the cost of labor and materials, plus regulations against pollution create a climate where a washing machine can be manufactured in China cheaper than in the US.

Do we agree?

Why then has Trump used protective tariffs, which only produce ill will with the nation where these products are being produced, and punish we the consumers?

Why not punish the preferred stock holders and the upper management staff by adding an Ad Valorem tax on their annual income from the preferred stock holdings?

The Priests, Pastors and Rabbis have bills to pay too. And they too have a bully pulpit.

They will get all back pay owed to them.

You're not very bright, or too biased to give a damn & consider all of the consquences: Miss a car payment, miss a home payment, miss a due date on the credit card? All have a costs associated with missing a due date; one or more penalties for late payments also include a big dip in the consumer's credit score.

Relax Francis, no government employee has missed a paycheck yet. My wife got paid on De 31, and isn't scheduled to be paid again until Jan 14

"Employers created 37,000 new manufacturing jobs in July, the Labor Department said Friday, the strongest gain since December and the third straight month in which factory job growth accelerated.

The July numbers may have been nudged upward a bit by vagaries in the data due to annual auto plant shutdowns, but the trend has been firm for the past year and a half. The 327,000 new jobs over the last year represent the best 12-month stretch in 23 years.

Analysts point to several factors that have kept hiring on an upswing, even as they eye growing headwinds."

Manufacturing jobs growing at fastest rate in 23 years

I even listen to you, and that means I take in opinions and when they are supported by evidence I seek confirmation and evaluate them myself.

Manufacturing has been leaving our shores for decades, the cost of labor and materials, plus regulations against pollution create a climate where a washing machine can be manufactured in China cheaper than in the US.

Do we agree?

Why then has Trump used protective tariffs, which only produce ill will with the nation where these products are being produced, and punish we the consumers?

Why not punish the preferred stock holders and the upper management staff by adding an Ad Valorem tax on their annual income from the preferred stock holdings?

Has Trump or has he not got concessions from several countries due to his use of tarrifs?

The answer , obviously, is yes.

What in the hell is wrong with the US wanting equal treatment in the international community?

It is the manner in which Trump acts. The fact is he is an asshole and a spoiled brat. The tariff not only pisses off the other nations, it requires the common man who needs a washing machine to pay the cost.

Sad that you can't see the forest from the tree's.

General Strike Law and Legal Definition:

General Strike is a strike by a majority of the workers in key industries throughout a country in a particular region of the country. ... In particular, a general strike involves virtually every union regardless of industry or occupation.

Since Reagan fired the Air Traffic Controllers the GOP has focused on weakening labor unions and in recent times used the euphemism right to work, for busting unions.

Enough is enough: Trump's callous disregard for the American Worker has come full circle, as Federal Employees are cast aside by his actions to shut down government. Not only will they have bills they cannot pay, the private sector too will soon be closing the doors of retail businesses as Federal Buildings remain empty.

Trump will lose this battle, but too many innocent victims will suffer his ego driven crisis.

It's not going to happen the way you think.

Time will tell. Some Federal Workers are calling in sick. Others, such as those Federal Guards at Federal Prisons are working and not being paid. Likely this violates a rule, regulation or law - clearly it is immoral.

Soon enough, if not already, those who attend church and once put their cash into the basket can not afford to donate to the needy, since they have become needy.

The Priests, Pastors and Rabbis have bills to pay too. And they too have a bully pulpit.

They will get all back pay owed to them.

You're not very bright, or too biased to give a damn & consider all of the consquences: Miss a car payment, miss a home payment, miss a due date on the credit card? All have a costs associated with missing a due date; one or more penalties for late payments also include a big dip in the consumer's credit score.

Relax Francis, no government employee has missed a paycheck yet. My wife got paid on De 31, and isn't scheduled to be paid again until Jan 14
