    What pisses me off is somehow people like him are more worthy in our society of basic necessities, like owning a home. I’d have to perform a miracle on my employer’s dead mother to even be considered for a raise, let alone live comfortably even with a degree.

      You can also form a union. On top of the raise and CoLA you and your coworkers negotiate into your contract, you make people like Cruz, Trump, and Christie seethe

              I wanted to keep it regional, but yea this lumber war is known for the Grabow massacre that killed 3 union members and wounded 50.

              The overarching coal wars (to those just now learning about this, yes there were multiple) in general are fascinating. Bloody Harlan is another good example
