  • I think in a other timeline I’d be very happy working in a factory for my career. Building something or maintaining the systems. Putting in a hard days work and going home feeling proud I did a good job.

    Supporting my 2 kids, stay at home wife and owning my own home with only my income.
    My kids needs were all met. All utilities paid up, school supplies and toys, fridge always fully stocked.
    My job was secure. 20+ years at the company with a competative salary. My job is secure and safe with my union protecting me. Might retire in 30 or so years with a solid pension and a cool 50 at the factory.
    No need to get a job after I retire. Just enjoy my time with my new grandkids my children are happy to have in a strong economy.

    But. We’re not in the fucking twilight zone.
    The American Dream was taken from the masses and they want us “back on the line” for pennies on the dollar in profits.

    “I make a penny while the boss makes a dime. That’s why I sit on company time.”

    No. We now make a penny while the CEOs make thousands and were left hungry, homeless and sick.

    Get the fuck out of here with that shit.


  • “I condemn this act, not only because it is a crime against our institutions and community, but also because it is fundamentally un-American. This nation was founded on the right to free speech and open expression, and our libraries are the embodiment of that promise. Libraries are designed to be community-based safe harbors of free thought. Libraries offer ideas. This is their fundamental role in our democracy and why they are so vital. This act of violence is not just a crime against the public catalog of literature that was destroyed, but also is a violation of the marketplace of ideas that is a bedrock principle of American life.

    This action will not be, should not be, and cannot be tolerated inside the 21st Senate District, this state, or this nation. There is no place for such hate, censorship, or intimidation in Beachwood, nor this country.”

    The Office of Senator Kent Smith (D-Euclid)
