Breitbart did have an article here about the John Deere strike.
First of all, I have a response from my UPS Facebook group, which, you know, somebody shared the article about them wanting a pay increase about these workers.
And Candace Cleveland says a pay increase only means that you would be taxed more by the government.
No thanks.
I'm good.
But seriously though, I wouldn't mind getting the holiday turkey back.
They stopped that years ago, but it always helped around the holiday.
This person is clearly a business owner.
This is ridiculous.
You know why I don't like making money?
I don't like to make money because they tax me.
So I just don't make any.
Also, bring back the ham!
Yeah.
See that's funny because I think they are a UPS worker because we did used to get, I think I've told this story on the show before, we used to get a turkey for Thanksgiving and a turkey for Christmas and then it became a turkey gift certificate so you could get turkey, $15 worth of turkey products at a grocery store and then it was just nothing.
That was never in the contract though.
That's like, you know, everything else, all the pay and our treatment and our benefits, that's all contractual.
You know, it's, the company used to go above in small, very, very small ways.
Of course, the contract now, definitely not.
I love this though.
Yeah, no.
A pay raise?
Nah.
I mean, maybe some people like that.
Not me.
Not me.
I'm different.
I like to earn mine, honestly.
How about you let me work longer hours?
I'll earn it.
I'll take that $2 an hour raise, but what I want you to give me is I want you to give me a penny from it each day over the course so I can learn how to do more with less.
Yeah.
And don't worry, I'm going to match that penny.
Every day too, because I'm also going to be saving pennies.
Just how fucking stupid are you?
It's like, you're like Homer Simpson.
And it's like, I don't want the money, I want the turkey.
Yeah.
And it's like, I'm just going to buy a turkey with it anyways.
A $2 an hour raise could buy many turkeys.
Explain!
Money can be exchanged for goods and services!
Actually, I used to sell my turkey, is the whole thing.
I used to sell my turkey at a pretty high price.
I used to actually take my turkey, and then I would take my turkey and make sandwiches out of the turkey, and then sell those sandwiches.
You gotta cut it up, you know?
Me, you chop it up.
You lace it with some soy and tofu.
Yeah.
Sprinkle an MSG on it?
Get a step on it.
Yeah, you gotta cut it.
Yeah.
Not me.
I take my turkey straight to the backyard where I bury it so the government can't get their greedy little hands on it.
You have a mattress stuffed full of turkeys?
What the hell is that smell?
One day we're gonna get this country back on track.
And we will revive the turkey standard.
Turkey-backed currency, and then we'll see who's smelly.
