Glad to see you calmed down Allan. No need to blow a gasket over a little Hyundai advertising.
You remind me of the Walter Sobchak character in the Big Lebowski movie that starred Jeff Bridges.
No matter what the topic of conversation, Walter’s observation would always devolve to something about his time in Viet Nam.
When Walter spreads bowling partner Donny’s ashes into the sea his tribute speech ends up, as always, with another diatribe about Viet Nam.
This prompts Jeff Bridge’s character, The Dude, to respond: “God Damn you Walter! You f****n asshole ! Everything’s a f****n’ travesty with you, man! And what was all that sh*t about Vietnam? What the F**K, has anything got to do with Vietnam? What the f**k are you talking about?”
In your case, no matter what the subject, your response has nothing to do with the topic at hand but everything to do with your apparent hatred of unions.
If someone says the sky is blue or asks you how your dog is you are somehow going to parlay the conversation into another boring rant about the evils of the AFL-CIO or some other related blather.
Maybe you or a family member were somehow harmed by a “pro-union thug” during your childhood. Or maybe you are uber-rich and despise the thought of a blue-collar American worker making a living wage.
Whatever your problem with the average working stiff and their relationship with, or lack thereof, with a union, I really don’t care.
The only thing I know about unions is that without them Joe Bag O Donuts wouldn’t get the weekend off or get paid overtime for a 40-plus hour work-week. Or that child labor abuse might still be rampant.
But I digress.
I’m simply asking people to join me in graciously trying to persuade Jeff
Bridges to put the brakes on his Hyundai advertising campaign.
No more. No less.
No hidden codes or secret “UAW” mumbo jumbo.
No pressure.
Which begs the question….
Why does everything have to be such a travesty with you Allan ?
