ATTENTION.

I have a legal question.

If you smell like a pile of shit in front of the jury, can you receive a fair trial?

@Bix

I have a political question.

If you smell like a pile of shit in front of the electorate, can you receive a fair election? 🇺🇸

What kind of idiots allow foreign money in their elections?

Very big deal. Well done, Chattanooga VW.

For those not familiar, organizing is a protected right but alot of southern states have laws that prevent unionization.

Volkswagen workers vote yes to unionizing, igniting UAW's push to organize the South

@th3j35t3r anecdotally my experience is CoSo demographics skew Center-Left, over 40, maybe a close male:female ratio & college educated or just bright, engaged self-educated post high school.
This isn’t Twitter where disagreement is more black & white, it’s shades of grey who may generally agree 70%; with nuanced disagreement on 20%, & 10% ain’t budging. In other words, kinda like the Democratic Party. The mediation is existing agreements and shared outcomes vs positions & you’re Nancy Pelosi.

The worst is when my friend report's my friend.

Just rolled over on my side and screamed in pain.

Completely forgot I got an updated pneumonia vaccine today. 💉

He grew up the son of the college president living in the provided residence. His mom kept her Arabian horses at the farm they bought.

I swear, a white male Republican wearing flannel in front of a barn is like a lie detector alerting.

Tennessee Volkswagen employees overwhelmingly vote to join United Auto Workers union

Employees at a Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, Tennessee, overwhelmingly voted to join the United Auto Workers union Friday in a historic first test of the UAW’s renewed effort to organize nonunion factories.

The union got 2,628 votes, or 73% of the ballots cast, compared with only 985 who voted no in an election run by the National Labor Relations Board.
