3. A New Low: KamaAina slanders labor
for attention.

The point, admittedly bolstered by propaganda, is that Handi-Van still has a valid contract. TheBus drivers (of the fixed-route service) are turning people with disabilities (not just dialysis patients, granted) into a "political volleyball".

You dont have a clear understanding of what "strikes" are, do you?

The Teamsters are doing nothing to the dialysis patients. You, and the article you cite, are trying to turn them into a political volleyball.

I don't want to see layoffs, pay cuts or service cutbacks, either. I would, however, also like to keep my job (since it pays nearly as well as driving a bus!), be able to keep food in the house, and so on. Residential property is considerably undertaxed here, a remnant of the days when we were encouraging the rich to build second homes here -- oh, I forgot, homeowners (and presumably car drivers) matter more than I do, so no fair raising taxes on them.

Take a deep breath. Feel better?

Now, listen closely......None of that matters. What matters is the right of people to go on strike. No one has to work for less in order to protect your low taxes, or your job.

Remember, propaganda is only a bad thing when Faux does it

Actually, since Fox gets paid to do it, it's worse when people do it for free. Even worse still, when a "liberal" does it for Fox, for free.
