Org Labor Sleeps

Workers Can Keep Their Peanuts!!!

The Eleanor Roosevelt dime - what a condescending act of class arrogance. Throwing a buck or two to your breakfast waitress because she tells you a joke (eggs are the same everywhere) is an act of kindness and appreciation. Eleanor didn't give a rat's ass about those street urchins she treated with her shiny stinking dime.

ap-pre-ci-ate; 1) to grasp the nature, worth, quality, or significance of 2) to value or admire highly 3) to increase the value

... and soon the government will not be taxing that 'earned' money. So the Senate says in a 100-0 unanimous vote on the floor of Congress. How many working class advocates, like Sen Schumer, Sen. Cotton, Sen. Turban, the Sen. Professor and Sen. MaryAnn and the rest, are in the House of Representatives?

So how did Labor on the Job flex its flabby muscle? By whining to a mobster that will fix their problem, for a future favor, of course, collectable for eternity. DJT took the ball and ran it through the middle of the line to score a big impression to the Average Joe and Joeess in the service industry. It's work where exceptional attitude and performance is rewarded. If your wait staff server is young, they will have the attention span of a goldfish. They will never get your order correct, a fate in life I have learned to live with the last five years. I will still tip if their attitude is buoyant, or even pleasant. So many miserable people in the service industry, I don't reward them. Bartenders are as surly as their customers.

Let's face it, only a fool reports cash money. That's the reason to tip, an act of working class kindness skirting the System, the Man, the IRS. Subsidizing the International Conglomerate USA employer they are yoked to is not my motivation. Taxing gratuities and tips for honest service never added up to much in the US Treasury. Congress borrows money, that is what they do. Don't give the G your money in anyway, shape or form, but don't go to jail. Give cash, if you do tip.

A unanimous vote of the floor of Congress should be noticed. The AFL CIO hasn't delivered on a single job site issue in fucking forever and Donald Trump today eats the whole cake in front of working class America. Not a single 'union' can claim victory in this struggle of getting G out of your working life. It's meager, it's peanuts in the Big Picture. And it will be the last Labor stand, a Ghost Dance of sorts, as long as the Don is around. Labor seeking crumbs for sustenance, what's new?
