• More than 30,000 Boeing workers, members of the company’s biggest unionized group, were set to strike Friday after staff rejected a new labor contract and approved a strike with a 96% vote.
  • The work stoppage will halt production of most of the company’s aircraft, including its best-selling 737 Max.
  • The strike is another costly blow to the company trying to increase output and improve its reputation.

    Yeah maybe my comment sounded kind of negative towards the workers. I just wanted to say that you cant solve all your problems with money and that they didnt/shouldnt allow the management to silence them with it.

      You’re correct that I didn’t fully process to the end of your comment above. After reading it again it’s obvious whom you support.

      I just wanted to say that you cant solve all your problems with money

      Everyone deserves security in water, food, clothing, shelter, sleep, healthcare, and education. They should have enough excess for “pursuit of happiness” as they individually define it. But, the vast majority of the products of their labor are stolen by vampiristic, dead capital.

      You and I may have enough money and wisdom to have some security. Most do not. They face far more immediate and critical problems than we do.

      We shall not judge. Enhance their wisdom if you’ve the means. But, trust them to decide what money they require to solve what problems they perceive.

      You’ve a different way of saying things that requires me to read your posts twice. And, I’ve made the same mistake twice by not processing to the end. I wanted you to know that I did come back and read it again, have realized what I’ve done wrong, and will do better in the future. Thank you for your tolerance.

        Understandable, i often have to reread things neutrally as well. Once we have some idea in our head of what someone thinks/intends to say all that comes after is prone to bias.

        Conveying things by text in exactly the way you mean them is hard sometimes.
