Up for sale is my Marlin 990 ducks unlimited model in 22lr. Ive been a long time collector of pristine genuine (pre Remington) Marlins and this example doesn’t disappoint. It was sold to me as unfired and has been collecting dust in my care as well. Medical bills require a thinning of the...
Santa brought me an unexpected hospital stay this Christmas. Good news is I’m on the mend (yay). Bad news is EMTs and doctors don’t work for free (boo) so have to thin the herd.
For sale is my Springfield Milspec in 45acp. No frills and all factory. I’m the original owner and have put...

Up for sale is my 360pd in .357 magnum/.38 special. This is the high speed low drag jframe with the scandium...
My favorite bike story. Back in California in an area of town where the entitlement was terribly strong, there were several packs of cyclists that were notorious for riding up and down pacific coast highway with abandon. They would be at least 5 wide taking up at least one or sometimes both...
If a contract was signed, it should be honored. Period. Union or not. However correct me if I’m wrong but the current contract has now expired and everyone is negotiating over a new contract. So we’re back to where I said. You guys can ask for the moon and the companies can hire others who...
That’s perfectly fine, but it should work both ways shouldn’t it? You can ask for what ever you like and the company should be able to either hire you or tell you to pound sand. Right?
So if I agree that there’s nothing wrong with the UAW trying to get higher wages then do you agree there’s nothing wrong with with the auto companies firing these people and hiring non-union workers at the market rate?
There’s that word again “fair”. Unless we are talking about an indentured servant, there is no such thing as an unfair wage.
But let’s pretend that there is such a thing as fairness. I’m still waiting for one of you union guys to explain to me what’s unfair with UAW workers earning $28/hr...
You’ll excuse me if I don’t take that as gospel since we already have other economic articles which are complete fabrications. The bottom line is that increases in wages, pensions and healthcare cost money and that is always paid for by the consumer.
Ignoring the cola issue, why should the profits of a company have anything to do with your wage. You are paid for your labor. So am I. This is determined by the benefit you provide to the company. This has nothing to do with profits. If my company has a bad year I still expect to get paid...
I would assume since it’s union that people in upper management are there for every reason except competence. That’s doesn’t surprise me in the least
I also agree that a college degree doesn’t make someone skilled. However it is a stepping stone and as you can see the professions I listed off...
Sorry but this is funny lefty math. EVERYONE has seen their wages decrease when adjusting for inflation, particularly since inflation has skyrocketed in the last several years.
The average hourly earnings for non-management private-sector workers in all industries is $28/hr. The average...
Sort of. Society understands and is willing to pay more for skilled labor because we understand that it takes years of education to even be certified to do the work. There are no apprentice cardiologists for a reason. This and the fact that the consequences of not having these qualities is...
Shortsightedness is a human flaw but unions seem to have cornered the market on it. Working at an auto plant is honest work, but it’s also unskilled labor which has a market ceiling. Unions were created out of necessity when kids were losing arms in wood chippers working 13 hour days. With...
I think we all need to take a step back and acknowledge that these are just undocumented workers getting into accidents Americans are unwilling to get into.
