Sideshow 1/6 R2-D2

[Darkseed]

I'm debating on ordering the SSC versions or wait out for the HT and get the matching sets/stands, whatever. I never understand what they meant by the two companies "sharing" the license.

Might be one figure I don't need to wait for HT. What can they do to R2 not covered by SS?

Nice. When's the last time someone died at your job from poor working conditions, faulty equipment, and lax inspections and safety protocols? How many died at your work last year that could have been avoided?

14. I lost 14 of my union brothers and sisters in 2014. Show a little respect for the men and women who died to you could go to Walmart and buy something.

Bringing socialism to a band of hardened materialistic collectors is like bringing a feather duster to a gun fight.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Yeah, I was thinking some of these tough guys should get together and become strike breakers.

Sorry jedijim3002, it doesn't make sense that 70 people can hold the L.A./Long beach ports that handle 40% of the shipping in and out of this country hostage. That's insane pure and simple. Their adversely affecting hundreds of thousands of other people if not more.

Marx would have agreed, and he didn't even pre-order Artoo.

Workers must not even form single unions for every trade, for by so doing they perpetuate the social division of labour as they find it in bourgeois society; this division, which fragments the working class, is the true basis of their present enslavement.

I'd like to bring anyone of you desk jockeys to the waterfront and see just how long you'd last. Working 24 to 48 hour shifts with little to no sleep. Out in the rain, the snow, the heat, the cold. Slinging 200 pound cocoa bean bags in a metal rail car when it's 100 degrees outside and 120 inside the car. Stacking boxes of chicken inside the hold of a freezer boat that is 28 degrees Fahrenheit. Standing on top of an 8 high stack of 9 ft boxes trying to unlock it's pins from the box below it with an aluminum pole when the wind is blowing 45 mph and gusts of 65 mph. Constantly having your head on a swivel to make sure someone else can see you when they're driving a 4 story tall 50 ton machine that carries 30 ton boxes.

One of my friends was flattened like a pancake by a 40 ft container cause he wasn't watching the crane bringing its last box off the ship before lunch.

One was crushed by a 100 ft tall light pole that was hit by a guy driving a machine for over 3 days straight without a break.

One woman was run over by a forklift up to her waist. She was screaming for 30 minutes before the ambulance got there and was able to remove her and pronounce her dead before it even left the front gate.

But don't mind me. I'll just sit back for the rest of this conversation and realize how many people really don't care about anyone else but themselves. I'm done.

Jesus was nailed to a cross. What's your point?

Being blind is actually a pre-requisite for getting a pseudo-Communist state off the ground...

So what you're saying is that the unions haven't actually done anything to improve health and safety conditions?

Clean up isle 3 please........

 

[jedijim3002]

So what your saying is you still don't understand?

Jesus didn't **** up my collectible delivery--though his followers often annoy me on the weekend.

do you work for the port, a terminal or a trans loader?

I thought you were done.

 

[jedijim3002]

Done talking to you. Ignore.

"More than 20 loaded container ships are docked and idle at seven of eight terminals at the Port of Los Angeles and three of six Long Beach terminals three days after 70 union clerks went on strike and dockworkers from their union refused to cross their picket line.

The clerks – members of the International Longshore & Warehouse Union (ILWU) – are responsible for much of the paperwork involved in the loading and unloading of cargo at the two ports, the top two container ports in the country."

I suppose they feel crushed by the paperwork???? Nobody is talking about dock workers these are 70 clerks!!!

Doesn't matter. Part of the ship. Part of the crew.

It's easier for people like you to play martyr when you're sure none of us know any better.
