That’s a lot of words to say I’m right.

I don’t think you’re right about anything. Except for you’re probably actually a giant boner! So tell me, my esteemed and ever-correct college, what’s the solution to the above issue or should we just devolve into insulting one another some more?

The solution was decades ago when a lot of blue collar workers decided they cared more about culture wars than voting for labor.

That is certainly a choice you can make but like I said, they deserve this now. That’s what they voted for.

So by “they” I boldly assume you’re not a firefighter, or a public servant for that matter. And, like, great, cool, history lesson, that’s not solution oriented. Taking away the few tools that people, including teachers, have to better their careers seems counterproductive to education and public safety by and large… I’d argue the American workforce as a whole is safer and more lucrative to workers today because of unions and it’d be wise to remember that.

I am an IAFF member. I agree this is bad. That’s what they voted for though. That’s what the IAFF was cool with when they decided not to endorse Kamala.

They absolutely deserve this because they wanted to keep like 5 trans people out of the Olympics. Enjoy your rice, beans, and layoffs dumbasses.

My fundamental is agreement with you is in your incorrect, overgeneralized use of the word “they” as in, every single cop and firefighter and teacher, voted for their own demise and for the evil republican empire… that is simply and ignorantly inaccurate and this bill fucks over a lot of people who genuinely try to take care of their community regardless of its condition or political atmosphere…

You’re just not that smart bro.

“if you voted for Trump or any other conservative you absolutely deserve it.

The emphasis is mine and I made it dumber for you. That was the original comment.

You’re missing the entire point, you fucking moron. I can appreciate that it’s “your opinion”. I won’t excuse your childish angry rhetoric because candidate didn’t win… You advocating for people who voted differently to lose their political voice under the grounds of “serves them right” just goes to show that you’d flock shoot everyone to feel right. I’m really glad I don’t work for you, because you’re probably an Incompetent leader that exemplifies everything wrong with the culture. Good day, Sir!

THEY VOTED FOR IT.

The conservatives didn’t just become anti-labor post-Jan 20th. They’ve been anti-labor for decades. If they are dumb enough to vote for them then they get what they deserve.

They made their bed, they can get fucked in it.

That sounds like something a self-hating retiree or weak ass volly “chief” would say. lol. I see your point, and I see that you hate firefighters and anyone that thinks differently. Let’s all try to vote better next time or some shit. I hope you feel good at reveling in the loss of a voice in the community.

Nah dawg. Been career for a decade and I’m just a dumbass fireman.

Stop voting for conservatives if you don’t like getting fucked.
