One said the politicians are all alike. All crooks.
One said there is no excuse for someone making $100,000 a year to be living paycheck. So I guess it their own fault if they can't pay the bills during the strike.

Federal employees couldn't strike if they wanted to, it's illegal. But, this is a motherfucking lockout by the bosses.

(18,874 posts)4. I used the word strike statistically.
What I meant was that these two are still holding on. They are both fairly well off people. Not redneck types. I think it is probably that they are really covert racists. This is Missouri afterall.
I am not sure how they keep making excuses for the current state of affairs. Too me it is obvious how damaging Trump is but they just don't see it that way.
