Same old song and dance since 1971.
They try to pump us, especially the newer hires who haven't learned better, full of fairy dust and visions of sugar plums dancing in our heads so that we lace on the Nikes and accept the psychic wage in lieu of cold, hard cash and an industy-leading contract.
SAIEW.
