Oh look! Gov. DeWine found his spine!

DeWine takes aim at Trump, Vance over Springfield claims

“I am saddened by how they and others continue to repeat claims that lack evidence and disparage the legal migrants living in Springfield,” DeWine wrote.

In today's GOP, it's practically a profile in courage.

you may think that’s funny but it’s not

Since we are lacking data, we have to fall back on the general condition that, in the aggregate, unions are good for both workers and communities

Even if Greenway employees were paid more than what is in the contract, they would not be receiving the wages provided in the Union contract.

You’re saying the UFCW may have put a dishonest spin on that sentence’s plain meaning. As a member of a union myself, I give the UFCW more credit than that.

It's in the union's best interest to spin things in their favor. It may be true that union employees do make more, but that may be washed out by union dues. I'm not at all anti-union. But I have worked with some unions that were deceptive towards employees who they wanted to join the union.  In my case, the employees didn't think the potential union benefits were worth it. 

i always find it funny when someone claims that union dues offset the benefits gained by a union contract.  I pay 2.5% dues.  Non union people in my field earn almost the same wages.  But I have a pension.  They do not.  I have an annuity.  They do not.   I have health insurance.  They do not.  And most importantly, I have a job steward I can report safety concerns to and they get addressed.  So yes, I pay dues.

got the QB. My last word was a very common word. Can't believe it took me that long to see it.

Pangram was pure random luck.

So say people who irrationally hate Trump, believe all kinds of Trump conspiracies, think most of the nation is racist and for some reason is unable to define the term woman.

and I'll add that a few years ago your comments were 1000 times smarter than this.

Oh chill.  A friend of mine sent it and I didn't verify.  

that’s exactly what happened in Springfield, Ohio…a neighbor told a woman that her neighbor lost a cat, and she feels her Haitian neighbors probably ate the cat…so she got all excited.. and couldn’t wait to be the first person to break the news on Facebook.
