Socialist countries are total failures, their greatest products are misery, poverty, destitution, starvation and mass murder

The social democracies of Europe might disagree. They get some pretty nice vacation time, we get one day, maybe.

Yeah Greece has LOooooooooooooooooooooots of vacation time

They have some problems but part of it can be traced directly to the world-wide recession brought on by our deliberately unstable investment market. We have a global economy and these things do not happen in a vacuum.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight, we destabilized Greece.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

The world-wide recession was world-wide mainly because so many countries had invested in our stock market and flimsy mortgage paper. You forget that along with dollars a lot of Euros evaporated overnight as well. There is also the fact that our banks helped many of these countries structure their sovereign funds the way they were counting (foolishly) on the sustained growth of what everyone knew to be a bubble and the continued ability to borrow. The story of how Goldman Saks helped many European nations hide debt and therefore endanger the Euro is a sleazy one indeed, you should familiarize yourself with it.

It is a day set aside by the United States Congress to celebrate the contributions by working people and specifically the labor movement. (It was the focus to replace the real workers holiday Mayday on May 1st in remembrance of the haymarket labor actions)
But do the television movie channels celebrate this day in their programming? No. Not one movie channel on TV - not AMC, TCM, Grit, Get TV, or any other that I can find - offers us even one movie on the subject. Instead, today we get The Three Stooges, Walker Texas Ranger, and many other movies that say nothing about labor unions.
It's not so for either Memorial Day or Veterans Day - the days are marathons about brave soldiers. Even February's schedules are filled with movies about brave and resolute African Americans.
Herewith is my list of movies that should have been shown today:

Norma Rae
Salt of the Earth
Matewan
Pride
Harlan County, USA (documentary)
Harlan County (dramatized account of the documentary)
Made in Dagenham
Bound for Glory

Certainly there are others about hard-working Americans who band together to improve lives: Milagro Beanfield War and Meet John Doe come to mind.

For tonight's television-at-home, turn off the networks and choose a good movie to remember what this day is about.

Isn't there a Scott Walker Special on tonight?
I'll be watching it if I can find it.
The labor unions were taken over decades ago by fucking organized crime. The average union workers were fucking robbed every paycheck and the stolen money went into the hands of Mafia bosses and union leaders like Hoffa. Everyone got fat except the average worker.
The multi millions of stolen money went into Democratic election accounts.
At a factory I worked at in the seventies the union 'rep' never worked a fucking hour on the 'floor'. He spent his days attending union conferences in sunny climates. He took his entire family with him. He knew the best restaurants in Lahaina better than in our town.
He drove new Cadillacs. His kids went to private schools. He lived in a fucking mansion compared to his fellow workers.
He was well known to be 'connected'.
He just showed up one day out of the blue and announced he was the new union rep. The 'old' union rep just quit one day and moved away.
This shit happened/happens all over the country and anyone who has ever worked in a 'union shop' will tell you the same story.
It's no wonder labor unions are dying off. Except for public service unions in Dem. controlled cities.
Good fucking riddance.

No matter how fucked up Labor unions are, were are is......labor unions created the middle class, created black success stories in manufactoring and helped build this country with every family being able to put food on the table who joined....at a fair wage. They have little power today, not because of corruption, its because our labored jobs are now over seas....end of story!!

So today we celebrate the contributions of working people???

So I guess we don't have to honor many liberals.

 

[bucs90]

The best movie to watch on labor day?

Christmas Story.

A humble man and his wife working hard at a thankless job to provide a nice life for their kids. Law abiding people. Honorable people. Wholesome values. Appreciation of life's little things.

That's America's labor greatness..not fucking leftist anarcho commies.

Had that movie been made back in its era....McCarthy would have called out the writer and the actors as commies......so shove that up your nose, pal

Hey guno don't tell me you forgot about F.I.S.T with Henry Winkler and Sylvester Stallone?

 

[Auld Phart]

You're confusing F.I.S.T. with Lords of Flatbush.

Winkler wasn't in F.I.S.T.

I always hated days off personally, it almost always means extra work to catch up on the next day and less money to pay the expenses.
