shipping charges across the board, going up

2 of 3 of the ones you mentioned are union. Unions destroy jobs. Not saying there’s companies that do it but it happens.

true statement.

here in the north east, was a HUGE presence of union shops, especially trucking, that went belly-up.

the union(s) bled the companies dry of the profits.

no, it was not mis-management.....it was glutony

today, the union(s) are NOT as powerful as they once were.

i made just as much money as a union driver, and got to keep that extra money, the union guys had to pay for the weekly union dues.

unions were needed back in the early days, to protect the workers

today, all they pretty much do is protect the worker for his seniority on picking his vacation weeks.....

I DID work for a union trucking outfit......

that's my opinions on unions

I remember gas prices been 5 something a gallon back in 2012 or 2013 ish. It was stupidly high under Biden. I can’t remember the last time gas has been under 2 dollars a gallon. Yes I miss having a hybrid at the moment and had one because of what is going on right now

Right and the libs said then "the president doesnt control gas prices" but now its Trump's fault.

I work for one right now. Sad part is I am an alternate steward. Don’t ask me how but I want out so bad.

Tell them. Just say here's my dues, but I won't be able to complete the duties of the steward.

People always have a say in what they do. God created you with a free will. I used to tell the criminals I dealt with, you wanted to be here, if you hadn't, you would not have done anything wrong. They wanted to so the criminal actions, but with no consequences.

i LOVE how my "blue congressman" is blaming Trump for our (RI) natural gas and electric bills that are soaring in his ads, for his November "date"

when it was "them" that tacked on SURCHARGE's, and FEE's to those utilities to "go green" by 2035....

what a bunch of crock pot servers.....
