As the winner of Time Magazine’s person of the year in 2006, I disagree.

The US has laws that bans paying for blood, but they can pay for plasma. All healthcare in the US is a for profit venture.

If you donate blood in the US, you are the only one in that process who is making a donation. Every other organization in the chain between your donation and the patient who receives it will add a markup for their own profit.

Organ donations work the same way. If you get killed by a car, and your heart is used to save someone’s life, they will be charged nearly two million dollars for the operation. Not only does your next of kin not get a cut of that two million, your estate will still get a bill for whatever treatment failed to save your life.

I can think of little that is more unethical than being the only one donating. Plasma is better because the donors are paid. If healthcare is for profit, at minimum the profits should go both ways. Plasma is the one time it does.

To translate further:

BEV - self explanatory never mind

NGDV - Oshkosh Next Generation Delivery Vehicle, The new mail truck that looks like a duck

LLV - The Grumman Long Life Vehicle, the classic mail truck.

and as a bonus

FFV - The Ford-Utilimaster Flexible Fuel Vehicle, the early 2000s mail truck that looks like the LLV that you buy from wish.

It is designed to be gas or electric. The few with gas engines will need the ventilation. Also it does have A/C. That is also why it has an engine bay despite being electric.

Hold my wallaby I’m going in

Not when the voterbase has common interests.

I don’t know what point you’re trying to make. Yes I think boeing taking am action that ensures a strike and also loses them money for no benefit is not plausible.

Do some cursory reading on the national labor relations act.

You keep saying there’s tons of evidence, yet provided none.

Find me one time an american company unilaterally decreaced the pay of a union contract during its term.

If that was common, we would’t negotiate multi-year agreements.

In fact, it would be far easier for them to do that after the contract expires, and a 1 year contract term would give them many more opportunities.

Healthcare isn’t something that only the unfortunate need. Healthcare is something every person needs. If you live long enough, it will be costly. This is why insurance as a concept is fundamentally unable to handle healthcare. It is antithetical to the concept of insurance.

This has been solved by modern technology.

Mirrors in the olden days were made with silver, and because silver is the good pure metal it refuses to reflect the evil vampires, hence the lack of reflection.

Modern mirrors lack silver so they will reflect vampires just like everyone else!

Yes, companies are corrupt. However, the way you described it cannot happen. Boeing is smart enough to not try to fuck over workers in a way that they are guaranteed to lose and all but ensures an immediate strike.

Even after the contract expires, they have to continue paying at the previous rate. If boeing wanted to pull something they would be smart enough to do it in a more subtle and effective way.

You’re wasting everyone’s time by making up problems with a contract. Multi year contracts are standard. There may be a lot wrong with the contract, but the fact that its a multi year contract like every normal union contract isn’t one of them.

No one who negotiates union contracts is worried that an employer might randomly decide to revert a negotiated payscale.

Two delta planes collided on the tarmac, but they call the smaller plane an endavor plane so they can pay the pilots less.

your hypothetical shows a complete lack of understanding.

if they do these things all the time as you say, you would have a real example rather than a purely hypothetical one.

your delusional fantasy is not reality

Boeing didn’t propose this contract unilaterally. It was a negotiation. They think this is the minimum raise that the workers will agree to.

Most of what you have said is wrong.

It is a four year contract. The parties negotiated the rates for the next four years, once the contract is ratified it is binding. Boeing will be required to pay according to the wage scale. Its not boeing’s word, its a contract and the union has remidies if boeing violates the terms if the contract. This is how most union contracts work. Wage changes are spread out over the term of the contract. This is normal.

Also the raise is not 6.25% per year. That’s not how percentages work. The average would be 5.8% as annual percentage raises are cumulative. If they negotiated a 6.25% annual raise they would have a 27% raise over the term of the contract.

It is deliberately misleading to report raises for the life of the contract. It makes the win sound better in the headline than it is.

Read the description for the sentry. It gives you a hint on how to overcome it, while also confirming it’s invulnerability.

Try to discover yourself! But if you need more help:

Who wants to decode this key? Would be fun and easy!
