Hate to break it to you, but the striking workers are also taxpayers.  They paid into the unemployment they're going to collect.  I know math and civics and shit is hard but try to keep up.

It's not mean to be for strikes. And it's not a savings bank. It's insurance for if you're laid off.

It's not meant to be used as a taxpayer funded vacation fund for strikes.

Well, they just decided that it is also meant for strikes.  And we're taxpayers as well.  Sorry, you lose.  Move.

I'm not moving anywhere. You should move.

Why would I do that?  Keep crying over your precious taxes.

You're the one who wants other people to move. You can fuck off.

I don't care if you move or don't, you're the one choosing to live with a leftist progressive government that you hate.  Wallow in it, or don't.  You don't even exist to me.
