I love how some dude fresh off OE knows what everyone here is thinking and has all the answers. Are you even done with OE? Do you actually work here?

Yes, again, just a new spin to a tired argument. “Make more money now with your yes vote”. I know you’re new, you’ll see this same song and dance numerous more times in your career.

FNG here, yup can’t vote. Was a hard no mentality when it first came out. Despite not being able to vote I watched everything, did my research and am now on the yes side of things but not because of my substantial first year gain. I’d suggest you educate yourself further and leave emotion out of it.

What about those of us who have graduated beyond first year… it still doesn’t work for me. Am I wrong? Is yes truly the only answer?

We will find out in two days. Do you really think this thing will fail? I suspect a pretty strong majority *thinks* it is right to vote yes, regardless of if they are correct on that. I could well be wrong, I’ll know in 2 days!

It’s a close call, actually, and I’ve waffled back and forth. Even the KNOWN unknowns are substantial (timing of the JB purchase, the JCBA, whether the DOJ will even let it happen..? And then the effectiveness of the JB snap up, because they damn sure aren’t going to give up pay on the JCBA). It really IS a close call, and nobody should give anyone a lot of cr@p for deciding the other way.

Good for you and Yes, I did "educate" myself.. We'll get them next time.

A "close call" that I bet is over 65% Yes when the vote total is released. I dont think it is as "close" as you think it is. 2018 was not close, this wont be "close"

I love the smugness! Brand new but you watched the roadshow livestream so now you’re the educated one in the group. Did you consider that a $40 raise to someone who makes $230+ isn’t perceived the same as someone making $60?
