1) Irregardless isn’t a word.
2) The only way I could understand your post was by imagining a drunk guy yelling it to me at the bar.
3) Your sentiment is good but Hedley is correct. These “big shots” are smarter than us, not the market and their narrative will be one of, “oh fuel is so expensive now, we can only give you XXX raise in your new contract.” Watch us collectively vote yes for cents on the dollar. But yeah, time for a contract.
