Years ago I had a fellow teamster tell me repigs always boost freight when holding office.

Well thanks Governor Reeves sarcasm I guess that old union teamster was right. Last night working as union yard jockey some of the hooks were fourteen 53 foot trailers and twelve sets of pups the doubles all empty going to a bottled water warehouse 150 miles away over in Eastern Pennsylvania.

They were asking us yard men if we wanted to maybe work a 14 hour day to shuttle empty wagons to bottled water plant. Real easy drag them over cut em Bob tail home come back no trailers. Now no brag on hourly top of rate it is public knowledge you can look it up online.

Hourly top rate at 100% is.
$40.15 hourly anytime after 8 hours is time half.
$60.90 hourly. Even city and linehaul men road drivers in district are paid hourly teams get mileage and clock time. I’m not sure anymore what the company bills customers on LTL miles I think back in 2017 it was around $5 mile per customer.


After 8 hours in yard if you go now you’re looking probably another 6 hours on your clock all time half that old union saying open up your pockets will stuff them full of cash. I declined as I have to take our 13 year old to docs this morning yet I would have because this is a humanitarian move. And when dispatch was asking they were telling us hey our extra board drivers who work on two hour work call is exhausted that’s 46 drivers not sure about bid road drivers.

Not sure how much infrastructure cash Mississippi received yet here we have another example of republican in office total disaster.

This forgiveness of student debt will lower enlistment into the military

This is their argument I’m thinking WTF only the poor should fight their wars. When I enlisted at 17 I only had VEAP a Reagan scam veterans education program I remember my first platoon sgt telling us in 1984 you men may wanna enroll in this it’s all you got.
I didn’t know I assumed I had a GI bill yea I didn’t read the fine print. I enrolled I think it was dollar for dollar match I ended up cashing it out and sending it to my wife and our oldest daughter who was a infant at time.
I still had and have used GI loan on mortgage and as for using GI bill for education it didn’t happen I had a wife and young daughter obligations on discharge and went to teamster union in 87.

I’m happy that people have received relief actually I would love to see free higher education my tax dollars subsidizing a young person investing in our youth. And it bothers me that my fellow blue collar brethren in that the majority of them are so angry over this debt relief crying socialism.

I ask them do you understand that we have reverse socialism in this country most latest trumpig tax cuts. That has laid two trillion dollars on the backs of the middle class I ask them how can you identify with the wealthy and the greedy and continue voting repig they could give one shit about you.

What would Airborne Jesus do these young troopers today enlisting to be Human Resources.

That’s right people 42A MOS who knew it was even a thing. This fine young man stopped around to say goodbye to his two BFF’s our boys and to talk to me asking me questions , you will be fine I told him over dinner we’ll refer to it as chow now soldier and learn to eat real fast and to add hot sauce to everything including the pudding.

Now I ask all of the former 11 infantry series and combat MOS losers and suckers why choose a MOS that you could actually use in the civilian world geez so over chow I asked did you get airborne option he replied laughing no I’m not nuts.

I almost lost it on him thinking give me that bbq chicken left on your plate future REMF yet I didn’t because I asked myself what would Airborne Jesus do in a moment as this. For those of you who didn’t know that’s right Jesus loves the Airborne especially the Airborne infantry. Yes A MOS that as a young man you can work on affirming your alcoholism for later in life.

We’re Gods Airborne infantry why we even have our own patron Saint the Archangel Michael do REMFS have a patron saint I seriously doubt it they’re kind of like our heathens brethren Tankers don’t even get me started on those godless red legs the artillery. Why as Airborne infantry we walk around in garrison with our maroon berets sporting our unit flash covering half of our face and possibly the right eye ball if you get it right. Why were studs racehorses serving our nation in a combat MOS that only teaches you the skills of janitorial arts when you’re in garrison mode.

No brag yet the arcom I received serving in 2/325PIR yes I was a animal on the crew served floor buffer. So in closing I hugged this fine young future trooper then told him will see you in a couple months young man Good luck.
