I'm anti-monarchy too, Dick.
Good one..

That was actually taken from Debs statement to the court after being convicted of violating the sedition act. You can read it in its entirety here:

Heinrich Himmler never stated the quote ST attributed to him.

Actually, History Channel quoted him as saying that. Guess you know better. Perhaps you knew him personally?

Perhaps you should learn history from a source other than your television.

"In the course of history periods of capitalism and socialism alternate with one another; capitalism is the unnatural, socialism the natural economic system"

See, now you're quoting your hero. He must be so proud.

And for the record, most of us that run the road in California are actually getting a pay raise out of this whole hourly thing. In fact, Big Dave is now going to be tutoring us road drivers on how to milk the clock properly. We've even started our own "FxF dairy farmers Association".

No, just showing you his actual quote on Socialism.

Wow, didn't realize you were the official historian of your hero. Do you have an autographed copy of "Mein Kampf" on your shelf? I rely on professor's for my quotes, not personal experience.

Go read a book.

Go read a book.

Actually, having had a mother who's a librarian; I've read a book a week since I was 5. Guessing the last book you read was "See Spot Run".

Giggle.

Mein Kampf??
Is that when you eat Chinese food around the campfire??

Fixed that for ya! Merry Christmas

no more piece rate....must be all the lazy tomato pickers standin around and then bitchin that everyone that was working got more pay....you know the jobs Americans don't wanna do....my opinion. You slow down to increase your hourly pay now dictated by the "state government "now you'll be asked " why did you do it in 5 hours before this now you've maxed out your hours?" ......Congratulations California for being the testing grounds for the new " Republic of Amerika ".....wake up people. Don't think it can't or won't happen to you...

Most drivers are not compensated for all the work they do. FedEx Freight is an exception. They're doing this in California to make the roads safer and I believe they'll see immediate results. I've done both city and road and I'm a much more relaxed driver when being paid by the hour. In my opinion CA. is doing the right thing. If FedEx bumps a road driver's driving rate up to $35 CA drivers will make out fine. How they'll calm down CA city drivers over this is a whole other problem. It will interesting to see how the unionized companies deal with this.

UPS Freight will probably get a extension till the end of the contract...

Correct. Effective 12-27-15 because the people's Republic of California is trying to reduce accidents caused by speeding trucks.

I've seen where it states pay for breaks wait time etc... But nothing on no mileage pay in CA??? I think someone has it a little confused. It could be be but I've haven't seen or read anything like that...
