No I won’t. It was my path. If you are owed so much or looking for sympathy you are barking up the wrong tree.
Go get in a time machine. Those guys hired in 88 had it real good. But life isn’t fair and we get what we are dealt. Some complain. Sorry. I’ll hope you all get back quickly. And in the meantime I will continue to press our union not to give a penny so you have a good contract to return to. I hope it’s sooner vs later.
I’m not surprised you missed the point. You gave a “just be happy you didn’t have to...” example that nobody asked for. Obviously, we’ve all had our ups and downs, but throwing past downs in others face doesn’t help. Your reaction to me replying in kind is telling.
I’m not asking or demanding squat, my family has Prepared for October.
