  It’s infuriating that medical care costs so much and yet the employees are broke.

    There should be black market health care where the patient pays a “snitch deposit” up front. In a sane country this would be prohibitively expensive, but in the USA we’ll just be happy you can get the deposit back.

  I’m from Anaheim. I’m surprised the cops haven’t shut them down. That’s the kind of place it is.

    The manager at Disney who gives them permission to break strikes is taking the weekend off.

  I’m rooting for them, but wouldn’t it be nice if the only healthcare issue was worker wages?

    That’s a lot of words to use just to communicate that you like the taste of boots.

    It says a lot that you’re angry and the workers yet the company made massive profits.
