    If I was the most senior of the 8 carpenters who was furloughed, and the new hire is classified as a carpenter also, I would immediately file a grievance.

    I would agree if the Union backed the workers but it does not. Filing a grievance equates to getting blacklisted.

    Thanks for the idea Doug. I'll have to stop and get some OJ for her on the way home from the barber.

    Had the same in my working career. My sreward once told me he spends 90% of his time representing the bums and the rest trying to keep the workers safe. I could go on with stories and rant, but not enough time.
    Try to have a good day all.

    My local fire dept. Is doing the the shots. I signed up just waiting on them sending me a date and time. I wasnt gonna do the shot at all. But they offer it for free. Since I have no health insurance I say why not

    Really hate seeing stuff like this. Most of my working life until this current job I was a union member. I even spent a few years as one of the shop stewards. Sadly enough much of that time was spent arguing to save people who honestly didn't deserve being saved and stressing over how to help the ones who did need help but had a weak case.

    I'll second the recommendation for HD ATS springs.

    I can't help with the detailing issues, but if you don't like pinstripes a couple gallons for spray-dip from dipyourcar.com work really well.

    I'm using it on my gladiator, and will use it on the taco when it's back on the road, it holds up well to wheeling. You can also pick any color you want.

    Fucked if I know.

    GME should be going out of business soon, they aren't issuing stock at these higher prices because management is aware of "materially adverse information" about their long term prospects.

    I think the correct answer is a "stop loss" type sell order, but that requires a pretty sophisticated trading tool to do right.

    too volatile for trailing stop losses or even a simple stop loss. It's 100% not going out of business. Ryan Cohen is turning it into THE place for gamers. Where else can you buy a GPU and have it delivered same day? - Yes, they offer computer parts now AND are leveraging door dash and other services for next day delivery.


    Here’s a really good synopsis of the situation and why I’m VERY bullish on $GME

    Yeah, you probably need a real trading algo and "real money" to play that game.

    If they manage to survive the retail apocalypse they stand a chance. And if they are smart enough to out-source delivery/logistics there is a better than average chance of that.
