Re: unions hate them? all the more reason to USE them!

elios, keisur is a simpleton that probably hasn't work for a thing in his life. People like him have been handed everything and have never experienced true hardship. You owe that piece of shit nothing, let alone an explanation. One can only hope that he suffers some extreme calamity that puts him into a position that requires he live the life that he criticizes.
BTW, gotta love his racist attempt at "ghetto" talk as well.... "peeps"... what are you implying by this comment Keisur? I believe the image of you sitting in front of your computer with your white hood on isn't a stretch.

Wow, where to start commenting on your baseless rant(?!)

First, if you do the math, simply having Toyota as a large employer in that part of TX adds a lot to the economy, unionized or otherwise. You may not want to accept that fact, but it's true. The situation is by no means as black and white as you've unfortunately portrayed it. For example, even non-unionized suppliers/contractors can create a heck of a lot of local jobs which otherwise would not exist, stimulating further demand for more positions. Yes, a great deal of these jobs will not feed a family of four, but that's not the point.

I suggest you also consult with both an economist and a real estate professional regarding your ridiculous assertion that Toyota in some way would be solely responsible for current soft housing market.

So what do you do for a living Chain? Sit here and bitch about how everyone is lazy? Maybe get a real job and do the math how even a college educated salary doesn't equal for squat. The middle class is being squeezed. You say that the union protects lazy people. Where's your proof? You make an allegation now show us hard numbers to prove this speaks for the majority? On the other hand, you seem full of baseless claims. We're all waiting for you to substantiate this allegation. As for reality, unions protect a workers who are mistreated often by employers. If your company breaks your contract and decides to screw you, you have little recourse without filing an expensive lawsuit. Yet, with a union present, you can file a grievance and make something happen. Sadly, people like yourself lack a brain and only understand what Fox News tells you. I got a real fact, America is dumbing down to the level of Stupid and I see many people on here cutting to be first in line.

LOL, I'm currently paying my own student loan back right now sweety cakes, so no, things were just handed to me, I took the initiative, had the ambition and set goals and achieved them through hard work. PS - Can I drop off my white robe and cone hood for you to wash for me?

"ok that gives me 40 bucks more a month school here for my track would run me at lest 400 bucks in books another 200 for lab time and then classes alone would be 500 a semester
i make maybe 1000 a month (FUCK YOU crappy job)
my rent is 400 a month + power water and food"

LOL, You don't seem to realize that at your income level you would be able to get about every grant there is (which would cover room/board/books). You don't have to pay grants back. Then you'd only need a small portion of the actual repayable student loan to suppliment. A student loan is what I was talking about. take some initiative if life is such crap for you, hell, with the experience and knowledge you claim to have in IT, I could get you a job at my company making 80k+/year, no papers needed.

want to give an interview then?
i seem to get turned down every were else

Keiser is oblivious to the fact that grants are not handed out like water. Grants are competitive since they do not have to be paid back. In the real world, not keiser's fantasy one, many people compete for that one source of money. Your odds of getting even a little chunk of it are pretty slim. Hence, most people are left to borrow and be in debt. Your average college grad probably leaves with 60-100,000 for four years of study. That's a nice long while of paying + interest to 0 it out. Hell, they wanted 7.5 percent on my student loan of 11-12,000. That would have turned it in to 20 grand if I followed their scale. Imagine what those above figures would be? Hence, keseir, unions are needed to ensure your hard work DOES PAY OFF. How would you like to study for 4-6 years, and be offered jobs that paid like crap? You might respond, well then you look for others. Easier said than done of course, with a lackluster job market and the promise that most jobs in a profession pay pretty standard. Hence, without those unions, you could give the guarantee of a decent wage goodbye since most jobs have the upper hand. Work for us and take what you get, or find something better. We'll fill this slot either way. That is the mentality of the world today, and unions (while imperfect) at least tone down this mentality.

You have to try at least, which obviously you don't have the ambition to do. Secondly, I was able to secure a Pell Grant all four years of my schooling even though my parents claimed me on there taxes and made decent salaries, they just wouldn't pay for college. What jc100 is oblivious to is that there are different kinds of grants, ones that are close to impossible to obtain and ones that are given to the ones that need them. in this guys case, making only $250/week or whatever it was would not have a problem at all getting some of these grants. like I said, which lazy people such as yourself cannot seem to grasp onto, is that it takes some work and ambition but it IS doable if the person actually wants it and doesn't want to ride on the coat tails of the tax payers.
