History always finds a way of repeating itself in some shape, form, or fashion. There is nothing new under the sun. The end will be as it was in the beginning. The days of mafia run unions will re-emerge and take on a different agenda. The old days will return once again, upgraded and sized to fit the new generation of freedom fighters, who will fight for justice, equality, and liberty from the strongholds of greed, pursuit of power, and corruption. They will be seen as the rebellious generation from the generation who birthed them. They will not be silenced or bought with money. They will be the first global generation. Their fellow young brothers and sisters in other countries will be inspired by their mission, and will join forces with them to make the world a place where people are treated with dignity and respect regardless of who they are or what they may or may not have. They will have a common enemy. The enemy called hate, but not all of them will be non violent. Some will become consumed with anger and rebellion and they will do more harm than good. Some will gather together with weapons in hand but they will become a victim of living by the sword and dying by the sword. Some will say they are good and some will say they are bad. Some may had started with good intentions, but they will become defiled with the very thing that they claim to fight against. HATE ...They will become what they hate. Eventually, their hearts will darken, they will be given over to darkness. They will be blinded by their own hate. Evil will overtake them, and they will become children of evil who live and walk in darkness. They will not have the ability to see past their nose. Their generation will become cursed and will be known as the members of the walking dead.

Dude...you smoke some good stuff! Can I call you for some when I give up my CDL? Seriously though, that’s very entertaining.

Interesting.........some of the stuff you have here is plausible,......if things go a certain way, and we keep electing demagogues.
I think many people will get fed up with being treated as a....part of the machinery,......expendable and non-repairable. That would be more from technological expansion into traditionally human jobs,....more than a rise of socialism.
As fewer people reap the rewards of labor,......mainly those at the top,......what do you do with....the People?

Global population is expanding exponentially. One billion in 1800,....7.7 billion in 2020......
Also rising exponentially is technology replacing humans.........Took 25 people to dig a ditch in 1800.....

Again,....what do you do with the....People? How do you retain their Dignity? Do we let the......Employer Class decide who is Worthy?.........or do we ALL decide who is Worthy?

Right now,....the Employers are writing the Rules,.....That's why many jobs go to low-wage countries,....and the products get shipped back here, for the few remaining well-paid employees to buy,......Can't sell $100 sneakers in the country that made them......

Nationalism will not help........that Genie is already out of the bottle,.....As long as Corporations see lower Labor costs,...there will be no borders......
And,....lower Labor costs are just the prelude to,...complete technological manufacturing. CEO's dream.......No Worker's Comp....No Stinky Employees,...No Pensions,.....No Unions,......Just pure profit......for a few.......

Ahem,.........as long as they can find....."customers".....to sell their product to.....Last I heard, Employees were usually Customers,....I mean,...they get paid with money and all that.....

Maybe a selfish act but may also be a way to protest dissatisfaction in the union leadership. Union dues has been a major contention point in past local 728 meetings. Several years ago I supported Alan Lamb in his run for president of Local 728 only to find out he had not been paying union dues. After he payed the back dues, the union decided he could not run for president of local 728 because he owed union dues when he was nominated and qualified for his candidacy. This left only one candidate. Surprise-suprises. P.S. Not that Randy Brown was a bad president, I just thought that after 16 years it was time for a leadership change.

You can’t be more than 2 months delinquent in your dues in a 24 month period , there for you are not eligible to run for any elected office .Your nominates must also be up to date with there dues .That’s a member responsibility.Next time tell your boy to pre pay his union dues a year in advance.:rulz:

If you're going to run for office, you've got to read the rules/ bylaws.
Because if you win....you have to enforce those very rules/bylaws.
