The high: Today is the birthday of Leonardo da Vinci, the Italian genius whose work epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal and whose Last Supper (1495-98) and Mona Lisa (1503-06) are widely influential paintings. Born in 1452. The low: On this day in 1955, Roy Croc opened the first McDonald's franchise in Des Plaines, Illinois, and in that same year started the McDonald's Corporation. :) I believe it was Ray Croc. First store was about 2 miles from my childhood home. If McDonald's was unionized Harry would be gushing about it. Can you imagine the increased apathy of the workers at McDonald's if it was unionized? Maybe as bad as a bunch of pseudo marines? I find your comments about BAR's service to our Country with the USMC offensive Don and ask that you drop it. I find his comments about hard working union members offensive. Ask him to 'drop it' and I'll consider same. There are those? More than a minority? You would not be retired with a pension if it wasn't for unions, dumbass. I would not? I actually get 2 small pensions from companies I worked for. Both non union. Only union I belonged to was the CWA when I worked for Western Electric when I got out of high school. A most incompetent union. Go on strike for a couple of months for a 10 cent raise, almost the same amount the company was willing to give at first. I worked for mostly companies that had 401K programs and I also invested well. My Altria holdings pay me a couple times my pensions by itself. You really are thick. As I said, you would not have those benefits if it was not for unions. That's where all of those practices came from. Non-union people have gained an enormous amount of benefits on the backs of union workers. As I said earlier, all those years when your job was based on a 40 hour 5 day work week with weekends off, holidays, ppresonal days, and vacations, was a gift to you from from the unions. So was any overtime and sick pay you ever received. There is a lot more. The overtime was by government fiat. |
