I can and I will disregard his thoughts and his in-accuracy on a lot of the things he posts. You need to go back and read some more of his posts and you will feel the same way. This guy was once a steward and an organizer and draws a Teamster pension. And now he is under the assumption that we freight hands are all over paid for what we do. Especially the union carriers of which he draws a 30 year pension from. This makes him nothing more than a hypocrite in my book. Feel free to share what good points he has made so we can have a discussion about them and I can share just as many if not more that he has made that are not good points. I am sure he would love to have you as a friend for encouragement.
You mean kind of like OV-10 makes good points that you choose not to listen to and criticize him for? Maybe you should take a good look in the mirror before throwing out accusations at others. And just like you, Blade feels that the YRCW companies should have been allowed to fail putting 30,000 or so people out of work. Yeah, I read your multiple posts on the XPO Pension Info forum putting down the YRC companies and the Central States Pension Fund. What kind of person thinks that all of those people should lose their jobs and their pension thru no fault of their own? All because Zollars had a hard-on for the Teamsters and wanted them out of freight. You and Blade will get along just fine. And, you two deserve each other. But please, for everyone’s sake, don’t have any children!!!
You learn to ignore his silly statement’s over the years. He along with others use yrc’s pension (25%) problems to prove their point. But when you throw ups in as a rebuttal they cry wolf saying they don’t count, why don’t they count?
They did not “hire” 30,000 people. They had closer to 40,000 people when all the YRCW companies ran independently before the Zollars fiasco reduced them to just under 30,000. Now, there are even fewer. Had Zollars not bought up the other companies with borrowed money at inflated interest rates, most if not all of these companies would probably still be in business today and making a healthy profit. You said on the XPO thread that it was wrong to bail out the underfunded pensions. The Zollars buying spree and deregulation by the government were the biggest contributors to this underfunding problem. But you have no problem with all the YRCW employees losing their livelihood because of one mans hatred for the Teamsters? That may well be your opinion, but I whole heartedly disagree with it. And as I stated before, feel free to post the “good points” that you say Razorblade has made and I will guide you thru the many “bad points” he has made. Or, just go back and research the posts he has made in the past and form your own opinion. You will probably be surprised at what you find. And after that, if you still think he makes mostly good points, then you need help is all I can say.
Then maybe you should work on your obvious “hearing what you want to hear” issues you have with OV before pointing out others. “Remember That”.
According to my wife, I am great at only hearing what I want. LOL!!!
Not just (most likely) for damn sure!
When that A/C cooled the air was it first air in-first air out? Asking for no one in particular.

Well Smarty Pants, our first day cab ACs were in Brigadiers.
I’ve heard of reindeer, mule deer, and white tail deer. But never Brigadier. Are they tasty?
I'm not sure there are any options for any of us except the privileged 1%. This thing is too far gone and augering in too fast. Be prepared to get your cash out of the bank ASAP when it goes down before they close the window. The FDIC won't be there this time. They are like the fire dept; great if only 1 house in town is on fire, but worthless if the whole town is burning down. It will be devalued overnight with their great reset, as they call it, but at least you will have it instead of some worthless IOU stock from your bank as a stockholder. Why in the hell would I want stock in a company that cooks the books and who doesn't have actual asset valuations and liabilities that you can see? But the Dodd Frank Banking Act says I have to. I might say leave while you still can, but that would be unAmerican. All of us just have to stay and fight to rebuild what this treasonous trash has destroyed. America is still the same great country it always has been. The fact that the rest of the world is clamoring to get here proves that. It's just in the clutches of vipers right now, and it will be painful, but we owe it to those who sacrificed everything to bring us to this point. To do any less would a profound dishonor to their sacrifice and make us unworthy of them. If you're young, you have your health and that is invaluable to weather what is coming. Hone your marketable skills and prepare. We as Americans have to find the courage within us to say " not only no, but HELL no!" They hope we won't resist. They are vile and treacherous, but they are also craven godless cowards. Remember that and use it to advantage. Stay strong and keep your family close. We will all find out what are truly the important things in life before this is over.
