    Most of the vaccines that wiped out diphtheria, polio etc were developed over a bit longer trial period than these new vaccines.
    Got no problems with them as long as it's a choice.

    Technology had advanced since polio age and vaccine had eliminated polio from the US. But there's still a poliovirus in other countries, either too poor to get it or not advanced. Most people are vaccinated from polio in the US so no threat to us

    That’s a appropriate meme for old school and new guys who don’t fall into the habits that many drivers now have…

    No issue with those. I'm allergic to eggs, and still took all my inoculations when i was in The Navy.

    Those were real, not The Mark of The Beast.

    I can't convey my emotions. I'm the type of person who likes to make new acquaintances. McDonald's was empty and I ordered coffee, and got into a conversation with the cashier and said that I work as a truck driver. He widened his eyes and asked, “I heard that you guys are working for food now, how do you do it?” Well, then I realized...

    I was just called and offered to move shuttles with parts from plant to plant around Detroit.
    When I asked how's that gonna be possible, they said strikers legally can't block entrances to plants, they gonna be staying on the sides.

    Thanks, but no thanks. I am not going through the lines of angry workers. Especially in this case I think they deserve more pay.

    Oh, when they called, they said it's gonna be about two months of work.
    Man, if they are already planning for two months of strike, that's gonna be a mad disaster.
    Save your money boys, because rates on the spot market gonna drop even lower while all the plants are not working.

    I know I won’t be popular.. I could care less about the big three. Guys making 30-40 dollars an hour crying while the rest of the country is trying to put food on the table at half that. I won’t buy another big 3 vehicle. Let them join the teamsters that work for yellow. Oh, there’re unemployed…
