Oh Good God, why is it wrong for me to want the people who are under contract by the power company to be put to work (which is what they are HIRED to do BTW)? It would NOT slow down the progress. They could still get volunteers. So why is it wrong?
You brought it up, and look, oops you did it again.
still you think there are qualified local people "on the bench" ?...it isn't so. If they are qualified, they are working, unless they don't want to work....
Power companies don't train people and then pay them to sit on the bench. They put them to work. But they only hire and train based on typical needs. When disaster strikes, they work overtime.

I wasn't aware of that. I have a couple of friends and relatives who work for the Laborers Union, and that is how it works for them. I just assumed that all "laboring" type of unions operated the same way.
Should of took the offer to quit when I offered.
Here we go again.
Typical distraction.
Wrong! False. However you want to call it, you are wrong.
It is you who are obviously assuming.
And I haven't put a single word in your mouth. So knock off the false accusations.
And no, I am not kidding!
It seems as though you are either purposely playing a game, intentionally being dishonest, or just have no idea what you previously argued.
Which one is it?
I am beginning to suspect it is a little of all three.
And make no mistake about it folks, the above is just another attempt at distraction.
So in reply to your ridiculous assertions, we have the following.
Were you specifically talking about Union members in this quote?
If so, why weren't you specific?
Since you weren't, why are you attempting to distract with this bs because I wasn't specific by saying "Union members"?
How about in the above quote?
Again, the same question as to why you demand I be specific when you were not?
Or how about the following?
Local residents first? Is this you only referring to Union Members also?
Again same question as before.
Or how about this one?
Were you referring to Union Members when you specifically said the following?
You absolutely referred to those out of work as I said, and not just Union members as you assert.
And since I see it coming, I might as well head it off now.
First of all I never said "everyone" out of work as you apparently think I say you stated, I said "those out of work".
Secondly. "Those" out of work, specifically refers to the ones you were saying were "unemployed".
Do you need anymore clarification?
That's nice. Just saying.
More deflection. Do you honestly think others don't see it?What exactly are you going through all of this trouble for again? I can hardly remember the point you are trying to make by searching through my posts and reposting them. What the heck do you want from me anyway?

And you are welcome, it has been no trouble at all. :mrgreen:
What do I want from you?
Nothing really, other than for a person to not misrepresent what they have said when they are called out on it, and to not misrepresent what that other person either.
I would suspect that most people would desire such.
eace
Evil? I don't think they're evil. I think they have gotten a bit out of control and greedy though. Overall, though, I support unions for the good of the workers. I think they are especially important in industries like the construction industry, but they do need to be reigned in a bit IMO.
:naughty Oy vey!I didn't represent or misrepresent anything. Just giving my opinions in a discussion.
:naughty Oy vey!
Why you keep digging this hole deeper, is beyond me? :shock:
You are now being dishonest about what you did.
You clearly misrepresented what I said, when you said I put words into your mouth, when in fact, I hadn't.
Saying someone has put words into your mouth when they haven't isn't just misrepresenting what the other person has said, but dishonesty also.
So, are you willing to quit now, or should we continue?
Nope, you haven't proved anything. I never said that no volunteers should be allowed in. So, you are still wrong. :2razz:
Still digging that hole I see.Nope, you haven't proved anything. I never said that no volunteers should be allowed in. So, you are still wrong. :2razz:

You again are misrepresenting what has been said.
Don't think so?
Show me exactly where I said, that you said, "no volunteers should be" let in, as you indicate above.
Even if you bothered to try, you couldn't.
You don't even know what you have previously said and even accus me of putting words in your mouth when I hadn't, and after it has been shown that you are wrong, you now want to say something like the above? :doh Ridiculous!
Keep digging.
Still digging I see.Then what the heck are we arguing about?
Sadly, just more deflection, dishonesty, mischaracterization and misrepresentation on your part.Anyway, you should admit that you just hate unions, and that is what this is all about.
Still digging I see.
You already know exactly what we have been arguing.
Which is why you are desperately trying to deflect away from the wrong position that you took.
Your wrong headed position in being ok with, and defending, what was reported as having happened.
Your mischaracterization and misrepresentation of another person's position.
And your straight forward dishonesty and continuous deflection.
But you already knew these things.
Sadly, just more deflection, dishonesty, mischaracterization and misrepresentation on your part.
let me reinvigorate your will to debate with rambo cat on hell's last unicorn:

It's just the first step in overturning a century's worth of progressive labor laws.

it's only hyperbole until someone gets hit with a stick.
TR was a RINO.
Good?Whatever. I really don't care anymore. This is just getting boring.
