Some 12 year old spammed my comments on that last entry. Quite entertaining actually. But what he failed to realize is why health care is so important to us Transit Operators. I won't say it's a dangerous job, because some steel worker will probably whine (and there's many more jobs are are much more dangerous), but it's not a healthy job. And until we have more trains and electric buses, it's going to be bad for our health. Not to mention the horrible seats they've been buying since 2002. And how completely the opposite of ergonomic the gas pedal is placed (I don't think that was grammatically correct). Some short sighted people may see this as whining, and it is, but I didn't buy those seats, and I can't imagine that medium working conditions can be blamed on the employee. Almost everytime I have to use my health insurance, it's usually completely related to operating a bus. So why shouldn't my employer either pick up the tab or try to make things easier on our bodies? (They're doing neither. Horrible new seats are a product of the almighty bottom line, except they forgot to include worker's comp cases as a part of that) And no, no one's forcing me to work as a driver, but I might point out that after several years of W Bush getting rid of jobs and a whole bunch of Clinton not doing much, and shit there was the other Bush and Reagan before him (damn no wonder the American dollar is losing value) there's not much else out there.

He also believes everything Pawlenty said about transit not being needed. That was entertaining. Pawlenty is not only a bad politician and human being, but a bad Republican and a bad Christian. Just look at what he's doing! And why does he support pointless transit products like the Northstar Commuter Line? There may be a small need there, but there's much more pressing transit needs elsewhere in the state. Even for commuter rail.

Anyway I'm crabby because I've had to get up much too early this week. Have a good day.

Oh! And by the way, "Patrick". We will probably strike again. 15-20 months. Workers have rights too. I'm curious: Why do you hate America so much?
