Rube's threads are getting really predictable.

I thought about making a drinking game for every time Mantooth says Brielman, bogeyman, math, and NMB in the same post, but my liver just can't take that kind of punishment.

You mean they gave us just enough hope to get them through the summer now nothing? I'm shocked. No one saw that coming.

When did the company answer our screwball "focus plus" re-opener? Oh yeah, that was January, just like I predicted.

And when is the NMB going to call us back? I'm saying it will be 2017. Puchala said straight up that they weren't going to entertain us during our political sideshow. I was pretty close to the mark last year, and I did not foresee that FDX, UPS and LUV would conclude their negotiations. I'm pretty sure you didn't, either.







And that is part of my overall contention. Expansionary economic periods all have one thing in common; they eventually end. For us to blow it twice during the same expansion would be pathetic indeed.

Your descent into ad hominem attacks suggests you cannot make a rational argument based on the facts. I don't think it is appropriate for you to be moderating a thread where you can ban people for actions that you have no trouble committing yourself. You should hand it over to someone impartial.

Actually, everyone saw that coming except our NC and MEC admin.

I have to say for all of you that complain about the TA15 rejection.

You guys elected them, they represented you, and the deal that they said was a great one was overwhelmingly rejected.

At some point you have to look in the mirror and ask yourself if you aren't the one out of touch and stop whining to those that one.
Or, we can repackage the same concessions, make a few "rearrange the deckchair" tweaks here and there, and the MEMRAT will fold to get something, anything, and we can all say "see I told you so!" Weeeeeeeeeeeee!

Nope. I said NC and MEC admin. They've been around and should have seen this coming.

Default Flunking "Persuasiveness 101"

Puchala is doing her part to cause a stalemate, with insults like “leave your inner child at the door,” and, “don’t expect a slow walk through fantasy land.”
She should have left her inner schoolmarm at the door.
