Julian Castro: Women Can't Afford Tampons So They Can't Go To Work

[Norman]

The fact that I share a nation with white Westerners who made sure to hang all the communist thieves for thousands of years is what makes me massively better off. If other ethnicities took note of that they would have countries in top 10.

Uh, guy, how could they have hung communist thieves for thousands of years when communism is less than 200 years old?

Silly white trash thinks he better off than the people of color.

The ideology may be.

Communist thieves themselves are older than the oldest profession. Huge dividends putting them on the chopping block.

Racist? Why did you assume I was talking about blacks you racist? Oh well......I guess that's how the mind of a self-hating white works.

Yeah, just because you said "apes" instead of the N-word, you totally had us all fooled.

I

If you want to enjoy those conveniences like I do, then do what I did. Get a job, don't have children, and don't spend money you don't need to spend. Instead, invest it in your future.

And then they could all be happy people like you are... oh, wait.

In order to stay competitive and pay union wage, cuts had to be made. Those cuts were in engineering and quality of parts. That's why my Jap car never breaks down, and my last American made car, my mechanic drove it more than I did.

That "Jap" car was made by Japanese workers who got union wages, socialized medicine and has a say in who his CEO is.

Your American car was designed by greedy CEO's who didn't care if your car worked, as long as they got those sweet, sweet Eight Figure Salaries.

Of course you don't read links. Presenting the truth to a liberal is like presenting a cross to Dracula. That's why in spite of my evidence which I posted, you still think Japanese workers make the same as American workers. You refuse to educate yourself.

Actually, you keep repeating the $72.00 an hour lie.

You only get to that number IF you factor in health care and pension costs the CEO's didn't put money aside for years ago like they were supposed to.

So when you read "apes" the first thing you thought of was black people.........interesting.

CEO's don't design cars dummy. What I'm telling you is what my mechanic told me. American cars are built with substandard parts. That's why you can only get a 30,000 mile warranty on them.

You don't know where my car was built because Toyota, like all Japanese car manufacturers, have many plants in the US with non-union workers. There is no auto union in Japan that compares to the UAW.

Actually, you keep repeating the $72.00 an hour lie.

Yes, that is their total compensation. They get outstanding benefits that the companies have to pay for, so they must be included in the cost of an employee. But in the comparison, they did the same with Japanese workers. Pay and benefits.

As for foreign CEO's, they are not all that far behind American CEO's, and certainly don't earn so much less that they could manufacture a better automobile. But since you refuse to read links, a little excerpt

One view of Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn’s salary of $12.5 million in 2011 is its relation to those of his peers at Japan’s top automakers. It’s the biggest by far.

On a global scale, Ghosn earned less than half of the $28.9 million that Ford Motor (F) CEO Alan Mulally brought home. Ghosn and Mulally both made their reputations as turnaround specialists, leading their companies from the brink of disaster to prosperity.

When you say "Apes", we know it's racist. Come on, Ray, why do you keep denying your own racism if you really think it's something to be proud of.

The Japanese only assemble cars here to get around Tariffs Reagan imposed in the 1990. The design, parts procurement, etc. is all done in Japan.

Again, you could make your argument effectively if you had Detroit losing out to people who embraced your Libertarian Dream of fucking over working people... but they lost out to people who give the working man a better shake..

I used to read everything about American vehicles becoming competitive with Asian designed cars. This was after the two gas shortages. I believed them. Kept purchasing American cars as a patriot. What a sucker. Many Car dealers remain shysters. Many Car repair shops the same. And the car still broke down right after the warranty expired. The American companies could not keep up with designing and building new engines and transmissions. Then the final piece of all the info on autos that was withheld came about when Obama saved GM. Every GM retiree benefits from about 3 thousand dollars a vehicle added to the cost of their product. So to compete, there needs to be cutbacks in areas. Ford and Chrysler has theirs also. The auto companies even blew money purchasing other companies when they needed to modernize their products decades ago. It is hard to forgive when all you have to do is go to a car dealer and feel the agita build up when purchasing a vehicle. Game after game after game after game is played. And then the no bull dealers who give you one price, but higher. American car companies are good with adding gimmicks to the cars though. Trucks with so many lights, they qualify for a lighthouse as an example. You need to wear sunglasses when looking at one at night.

Oh please, they lost out because Americans quit buying their junk cars. These union people have a stick up their ass. They work very little, don't care about the quality of work they do, and work as slow as maple syrup. The union says as long as you are breathing, you have a job under the UAW. I've seen this first hand repeatedly when we had to deal with them. Useless.

In Japanese unions, you still have to put out an expected amount of work to keep your job. You are not covered no matter how fast or slow you work. You are not promoted simply based on how long you were with the union. The unions don't run the companies like they used to over here.

Carlos Ghosn? that doesn't sound like a Japanese name.

If you bothered to read the article, it stated that CEO's around the world don't make exactly what ours make, but are still paid extremely well. In other words, their CEO pay has nothing to do with the quality and price of their products.

Years ago I had a Granger delivery to a Chrysler plant. They couldn't fit it all in my trailer, so they had to put the remainder in a box truck.

When I got to the plant to check in, nobody was there, so I walked around and found about four guys having a BS session. I asked them who I talked to about a delivery, and they told me Fred! Okay, where is Fred at? He's in his office, but I wouldn't bother him if I were you, he's sleeping, and you'l be here all day if you wake him! They all started to laugh.

I laughed with them as I know how people like to kid drivers, but when I got to the office, there was a guy with his head down on his desk actually sleeping. So I took their advice, I didn't bother him. After a half hour passed, one of the guys said he was going to wake Fred for me. When he came out of the office, the rest was like a comedy skit:

This stuff doesn't come to these docks, this is a millwright shipment, and if we unload it here, the millwright people can file a grievance against me. You have to use the millwright docks.

Okay, so where are the millwright docks, and I'll deliver it there.

They're on the other side of the building, but you can't use those docks either.

Why not?

Because those docks don't work.

So now what do I do?

I don't know, I'll have to call the union stewart and discuss that with him. But he doesn't come in for another hour.

Me and my partner spent the entire morning and part of our afternoon to get unloaded while they bickered back and forth about these union regulations. If I took the same delivery to any other non-union company, they would have had us unloaded in less than an hour.

My employer charged them for all the detent time for me and my coworker. They didn't care, the company couldn't do a thing to them. They're union. And charades like this is also part of the cost of a US automobile.

again, wasn't the union guys that were the problem, it was the guys in the corner offices who made awful decisions. Someone looked at the design of the Chevette, and said, "Yeah, that's a winner!"

Someone in a corner office said, "We can do a recall and do an $11.00 repair on the Pinto, or we can just pay out the families of the people who burn to death.... paying out dead families would be cheaper."

Nothing to do with union guys getting a fair wage.

Put free tampon dispensers n "Ladies" rooms and ya gotta put free tampon dispensers in "Mens" rooms too. Otherwise you're guilty of discriminating against liberal males whose chronic butt-hurt demands cushioning and absorption of their ooze. See, they get double use. Once in the conventional way, the other? To chew on for THAT ooze.

This is Peak 2019 Feminism....I hope. Used to be that we could have female biological processes and still work, see. Then we became snowflakes and women call off work for cramps and yadda yadda.

But now we can't budget for $5.00 of feminine products a month or whatever it might be generic. Heaven forfend that women figure this out, be accountable, etc.

That's too difficult. Better to whine and complain that you can't go to work or school.

If another World War comes, we're doomed. An army of snowflakes will get nothing done. Maybe this was the plan, I don't know.

Every day, people are forced to choose between going to school or work, or staying home because they can’t afford the menstrual products they need. Pads, tampons and cups should be available tax-free, across the nation. #NationalPeriodDay

I so love being mansplained to about the "eeevils" of being a woman and how incapable I am of dealing with it. Nothing insulting there.

 

[Cecilie1200]

Only a matter of time before we are told they are contributing to THE global warming and need to be either banned or so expensive that only white left wing elitists can buy them.

Plus, aren't they made from petroleum based products?

Um, no, tampons and pads are made from cotton, or a combination of cotton and rayon, depending on the brand.

Sweet Sue has no idea what it's like to be really poor.

Look, you want to talk about poverty, then fine, let's talk about poverty. Let's talk about ways to solve the problem, or to at least lessen the problem. But when these dumbasses start saying things like the price of tampons are a tax, then they need to shut up and start sucking on a ventilator because they're not getting enough oxygen to their brain.

The price of tampons is no more a tax on broads than the price of prostate pills or penile enhancement is a tax on fellows.

I'll give you the prostate pills, but I don't think menstrual periods and penile enhancement are even remotely analogous.

You claim to be a woman living in the USA and yet you don't know the cost of Tampons? Another Russian poster is unmasked.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BQV8NLK/?tag=ff0d01-20

$7 for a box of 50. And if you're going through 50 tampons every month, you need to see your doctor, 'cause something's wrong.

So yeah, Sue's estimate is not off at all, but your attempt to sound knowledgeable is . . . as usual.

If they couldn't afford the eleven bucks to fix the car, why do you think they didn't have the money? Back then, CEO's didn't make nearly as much as they do today. So where did they have to spend that money?

Hey, dumbass, they had $11 to fix the car. When the government finally figured out what they did and ordered a recall, they found the $11.00 a unit.

Where the money went was in shareholder payouts and executive salaries, not because an Auto Worker in 1969 made a whopping 3.69 a hour.
