Bloviating Zeppelin: NYC Stuck In Snow? That Was A Union Protest

Bloviating Zeppelin

(in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

NYC Stuck In Snow? That Was A Union Protest

From the NYPost:

Selfish Sanitation Department bosses from the snow-slammed outer boroughs ordered their drivers to snarl the blizzard cleanup to protest budget cuts -- a disastrous move that turned streets into a minefield for emergency-services vehicles, The Post has learned.

Right or wrong, I believe you're going to see a lot more of this in the future.

Well Seasoned Fool said...: Unions are not much different in the way they operate than our country.The members must keep the bosses honest, just as the voters must keep the politicians honest.

I like Greybeard's suggestion.; Fri Dec 31, 02:17:00 PM PST

Bloviating Zeppelin said...: Funny thing is, as a member of a LE association, I never took part in a strike or slowdown; I was the guy on the opposite side who came in to work the streets when it was me and the other managers and supervisors.

The Born Again American said...: HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Public Unions need to wake up and smell the outrage... The absolutely rediculous collective bargaining that transpired years ago is unsustainable... If they are unwilling to sacrifice as every other American has and continues to do, then they need to be abolished under bankruptcy hearings the municiplalities are facing...; Sat Jan 01, 06:47:00 AM PST
tha malcontent said...: Have a wonderful and happy and healthy new year.
All my best

: Name: Bloviating Zeppelin; Location: Sierra Nevada Mountains, Fornicalia, United States

A former Democrat in my tender and ignorant youth, I am now a Conservative first and, these days, quite a distant Republican with a dash of Libertarian mixed in for good measure. I believe in God, the strength of America, the brilliance of our Founding Fathers, the valor of our military, and the need for Leadership in all forms and on every level. I am not an advocate of censorship as I believe everyone on the Far Left has a God-given right to be painfully stupid -- as I have a right to expose said stupidity.
