So after they put all of us in mass graves, they'll get mass graves of their own. Certainly something to look forward to.
Historically farmers are almost always the enemies of left wing ideologues.Hey they wanted workers of the world to unite
When their bosses get tired of them, or rather they've outlived their usefulness, they get put in mass graves. You don't let people like this live after you're done with them, they could turn on you.
What's fascist about farmers?

Amtrak has cancelled long range routes. This has been building for a while and has the potential to be hugely disruptive or the US government will crush some more rights. Time will tell.Anyone hear anything about this railway union strike? Local news is making a fuss out of it because of the potential to hold up grain shipments.
What is the dispute causing the strike? The articles I've found don't really go into what's got the unions upset.
In a joint statement, two of the unions at the center of the fight, the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers (SMART) and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET), said the rail carriers’ policies amounted to “harassment.”Our members are being terminated for getting sick or for attending routine medical visits.The unions SMART and BLET

Two unions representing freight rail workers say people are being penalized and even losing their jobs for going to doctors' appointments. "

A collective bargaining agreement has many moving parts to it during negotiations: wages, health care coverage, retirement benefits, paid leave, work rules and more. Those pieces can all be in flux with one another until the moment a deal is reached, but the unions say the disagreement at this point is primarily over leave and scheduling policies.
The unions say workers can end up on call for up to 14 days at a time and face draconian attendance requirements — including losing their jobs for going to the doctor or tending to sick children.

Protests have winded down rather a lot, because of the obvious reason I mentioned back when it started: the government can just wait them out. Farmers actually have to work to survive, and they're barely making ends meet as it is. They can't afford the "luxury" of taking time off from work to protest. They had to do it, because the legislation is going to kill them... but they could only keep it up for a while, because otherwise, not working would kill them just as much.Haven't heard anything about this in a while. I hope that doesn't mean that they've tromped in there with the jackboots on these people.
Well, it's incredibly hard when you're an asshole...All they had to do was not be assholes why is that so hard
Power is a heady drug and they do not want to share.All they had to do was not be assholes why is that so hard
