Railway strike

[Mav as heck]

That's still no reason not to defend yourself. Yes, there are always consequences for every action, and you might even die, but at least for me, I'd risk it. It's about being able to sleep with my own conscience at night.

You'd risk your life over 'principles' and a factory job you were only 3 years deep in?

I'm a principled man but there is something called, 'choosing your battles' and taking on organized criminals isn't something to be done lightly.

Hell yes. It's doesn't really matter to me if something has "only" been wrong for 3 years or 30 years. Maybe it'll be possible to make a difference, maybe not.

We're all only here for a short time. If you want to spend that time keeping your mouth shut, that's up to you. For me, it's a question of being able to live with my conscience. Either way, we all die eventually.

You're a regular superman, eh? How many wrongs have you set right in this world? Please regale us with tales of your exploits.

There are some things you can't fight. City Hall. The Mob. Gravity. UAW might be one of those, too.

Care to provide us with inspiration and encouragement by sharing some of your own exploits?

Or are you just blowing hot air?

Living in San Francisco I have no doubt you've been provided many opportunities to confront entrenched rot and decay. Don't make me beg. Tell me a story.

What's a "Johnny Cash truck"? A custom Peterbilt?

Seriously though, I was following some random Johnny Cash stuff a few nights ago, and saw this.

"I didn’t do it, my truck did, and it’s dead, so you can’t question it."

https://www.thevintagenews.com/2016...d-49-refuges-53-endangered-condors/?firefox=1

"In June 1965, his camper caught fire during a fishing trip with his nephew Damon Fielder in Los Padres National Forest in California, triggering a forest fire that burnt several hundred acres and nearly killed Cash. Cash claimed that the fire was caused by sparks from a defective exhaust system on his camper, but Fielder thinks that Cash started a fire to stay warm and in his drugged condition failed to notice the fire getting out of control.

When the judge asked Cash why he did it, Cash said, “I didn’t do it, my truck did, and it’s dead, so you can’t question it.” The fire destroyed 508 acres (206 ha), burning the foliage off three mountains and driving off forty-nine of the refuge’s 53 endangered condors.

Cash was unrepentant and claimed, “I don’t care about your damn yellow buzzards.” The federal government sued him and was awarded $125,172 ($939,914 in 2016 dollars). Cash eventually settled the case and paid $82,001.He said he was the only person ever sued by the government for starting a forest fire."

Here's your "Johnny Cash " vehicle :

As posted in the other thread, mine said convoy at first and then changed to rail. It did that as well on my Maverick XL from LM earlier this year.

I agree it would probably be better if they’d use convoy, though.

Ours shipped on Sept 9 lol hybrid lux package guess we will see what happens with the strike

Do you have any idea the kind of crap the railroad employees go through?? They work 12 hour shifts, are away from home for days & can’t even take a day off without being harassed by management! One of the things management want to do is put an engineer on the train to run a 12 hour shift alone!! Does anyone realize how dangerous that could be?? My brother worked on both the UP & BNSF, is now retired but knows people with 20 years experience quitting because of the BS railroad management is pulling!! Better stock up on supplies now because railroad workers are pissed!!
