#1 LA & SF are both prime examples of Liberal/Socialist mgt. & Obama's SEIU supporters.

Btw: About 15,000 businesses have closed in LA since 2020.

#2 I guess they still need services as the taxpaying population leaves and is replaced by a larger non-taxpaying population.

#3 SEIU specializes in "bad faith bargaining".

#5 So that means no garbage pickup?
Well, it was spotty at best anyway.

#6 Ahh yes, the purple shirted goons of SEIU. God, they were a plague of screeching, drumming locusts when I worked the SF biz district.

#7 ^ Yep. I remember. But now there are no businesses in the SF financial district to protest!

#8 One fine fall afternoon a while back, after a funeral, as exhausted and depressed as ever I hope to be (in this life, anyway), I found meself strolling past the Old Hancock, a profoundly resonant location for the person buried which, however, meant bitterly little to me.

As I all but crawled across the street, a cheerful young couple foolishly asked me what the fuss was about. What indeed but an SEIU function inside filling the sidewalk and spilling onto Berkeley? And somehow, just like that, I rose up from within meself to deliver, without an instant's thought, the most concise, judiciously vicious explainer imaginable. Where the hell did that come from? They thanked me, showing every sign of complacent agreement -- in Boston? -- and I plodded on, leaving measurably shallower prints in the concrete. Angels, probably. So, um... thanks, SEIU!

#10 Purple, even! Twas a memorable moment, though... like a wormhole opening into... well, I'd say "a universe of lousy limericks," but the timeline's wrong.
