President Biden thread

Published

Wow.  No one has started such a thread yet?

After promising that most K-8 students would be in schools in the first 100 days,  apparently Joe is afraid to lead on this and has drastically scaled back that goal.

Instead, we're shooting for about half to go to school at least one day a week,  by the end of April.

Union workers guaranteed a pension.  Many have worked in conditions others wouldn't tolerate..... like my husband, a millright in a steel plant toiled  25+yrs, with 150+ degree temps at top of mill @ height of Summer .

I find it hard to believe he had to work in those conditions while 

A.  He had union representation and B. Where was OSHA?

Not buying it.

OSHA as any kind of savior; HAHA.  I've been in numerous restaurants whose noise levels are dangerous to the staff.  As a student, I worked in the anal wart room (to get experience with caudal anesthesia) with viruses flying everywhere after they got hit with a cautery.  OSHA; HAHA.

The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation covers non-union members too. 

Including me, after a 25-year career. My in-laws worked at the same place as union employees and kept their UAW pensions. Mine is not as much as it would have been (was promised to be) but at least I will have it.

Wow, I just re-read the comment above saying that the PBGC was expected to be insolvent by 2026 (just in time for me to be ready to collect my pension). I had not heard that and I'm horrified. I am absolutely relying on having my pension and social security when the time comes. Yes, I've invested in my 403(b). But without those other sources we'll be working until we die. Or destitute, if our health fails us. Which might happen anyway.

That's your claim, not mine... and once again you cannot support your claim with evidence.

The evidence is your previous posts.  Self triggered I see.

Is that a new way to prove my point about your lack of evidence? 

Meanwhile, do you know who is not being investigated by any state for election nonsense? The answer is Joe Biden.  He's the topic of this thread AND he's the target of lies from the guy who IS under investigation for dishonest election behaviors in 2020 and post election behaviors in 2021.

I am naive.  I didn't know that America. citizens were working under super dangerous conditions like your husband.  They ruin an employee's health and then weasel out of pension payments.  This sounds like conditions in . Bangladesh. 

If his working conditions were anywhere near that of a factory in Bangladesh, id say he sure wasted a lot of money union dues.
