Have a nice Thanksgiving shopping! Hope you get everything you want.Words don’t mean much, when they aren’t consistent. It’s talking just to talk. Your concern for football players and concessions ring completely hollow when contrasted to the vitriol you spew for retail establishments.
You have a nice day, too.
Didn’t they choose their job too?
I hope you too can walk out on your cold, heartless employer, whose only concern is obscene profits!
Yep.
Sure. In fact, if they didn’t realize they would be working weekends and holidays, they are not bright, and the military shouldn’t have accepted them.
Not “continue.” It’s a little more difficult to just quit the military, and it isn’t a “non-essential” job. After their stint is up, they can certainly change careers.
Again, not non-essential jobs, and, yes, if having holidays and weekends off was a greater priority to them, they should have chosen a different profession.
I have no disdain for Walmart workers. If they have decided having Sundays/holidays off is important, they can certainly demand it and possibly lose their jobs. That is the risk I took. That said, they should have known that Sundays/holidays are part of working retail. I didn’t strike. I sat down with my employer and laid out my situation.
Please quote my post that says I would not support the right of football players and concession workers to strike over their hours. Take your time finding it, this is my weekend so I have time.
I never claimed you wouldn’t “support the right.” Please quote my post where I claimed that. Take your time reading what I posted. It is my weekend, so I also have the time.
See final paragraph…
Yes? Have you read it, because it doesn’t mention anything about what you would “support?”
Difference between “calling for” and “supporting the right” to strike?
It’s an English thing.
Not only would I not cross the picket line, I’d carry a sign and march too-for the football players on Thanksgiving, the basketball players on Christmas, the baseball players on Easter and anyone connected to those events that has to be away from their families on a holiday. Throw the Muslim and Jewish holidays in there too if you like. I’d march for them to be with their families too.
A lot of people will cross a picket line, especially if survival is involved. And there are a rapidly increasing number of people who don’t celebrate these holidays anyway. Fact. They sit around and watch tv and drink.
The point was, you’ve gone all these years without calling for football players and concessioneers to go on strike.
This is really true. A lot of employees of public services like power companies and hospitals work on holidays. You can’t shut everything down, and you wouldn’t want to. Walmart employees may think that the universe revolves around them, but it isn’t so. If they’re not careful, they’re going to find this out the hard way.
There really is no difference, unless you are looking for reasons to attack another poster because they don’t agree with you.
