I'm not sure that you and I have the same definition of roughneck. In my idiom, a roughneck is a floor hand on an oil rig - and there are zero roughnecks from Quahog. Anyway, I'd have ****-canned ralph - possibly because his name means vomit and definitely because of his pro-union rabble rousing. Shop unions **** everyone, including the morons who vote them in.Skans » 22 Jun 2022, 1:10 pm » wrote: ↑ I have no problem at all with companies that choose to use Union labor. So long as it is the Company's choice and not forced upon them by Union organizers.
I remember some years ago a roughneck guy (I'll call him Ralph) befriended me at the gym. He just moved down from Road Island. He was loud, opinionated and had his thick Road Island accent. The guy couldn't shut up about Union this, Union that - was brainwashed to think everyone loved Unions. Well, he voiced how he was pissed off because he didn't make what he thought he should be making and had a hard time finding and keeping work.
I finally piped up and told him "You're a Yankee trouble maker".
Ralph asked "What do you mean, Yankee trouble maker?"
I said "You're a trouble maker, the kind of new guy from up North who starts **** at a company because it isn't Unionized."
Ralph just went on and on and on "Union this" "Union that".
I said "You just don't get it. We are an at-will state, most companies don't want **** to do with Unions - you go mouthing off like that and people will find reasons to ****-can you." "No one cares if you can run wire (he was an electrician) better than some untrained idiot"
Well, Ralph didn't stick around long. He was here all bout about 6 months and then went back to Road Island - pissed off at world because no one loved Unions like he loved Unions. You remind me of Ralph.

If gender is not sex, why should a gender claim change what sex you shower with?
