    Jesus man, Longshoremen are not our brothers. Think about that when you sit at a door for ten hours.

    90% of the toilet paper in the US is made here or in Mexico. Why in the world is that the first thing people run out and buy is beyond me.

    Okay, hold on here, I read a dockworker crane operators salary is NOT $300,000/year. Typically, a crane operator makes, on average, $28.05. Some as "low" as $14.90, and an industry high of $40.14. Typical east coast BS'er telling us that.
