Yeah, if they are happy, then I'm happy for them.

Union strong.

I love when Reno calls Stamets "Bobcat".

I love that, despite not recognizing this as a Simpsons reference until seeing the comments, I still read the last panel to the Meow Mix jingle, because you used the correct number of Meows.

Mr Fain added that the agreement included a 25% wage increase over the life of the contract, while lowest-paid temporary workers would see pay rises of more than 150% over the period.

The union also won the right to strike Ford over future plant closures, he said.

I don't know what their goals were, or what else this deal includes, but I honestly hope that's not "it".

25% raise over 4.5 years is about 5.6% annually. That's still less than inflation most years recently. Hope they also got other improvements to benefits or working conditions.

As an Idahoan, I'm just overjoyed that Larry Craig is still being referenced after all this time.

It's just nice to be in the conversation occasionally.

I decided a while ago that if I was a captain, my warp phrase would be Captain Tenneal's "Let's Go!" from MXC.

Just posting this comment to call "dibs!"

Weird... I remember thinking Eisenhower was on the dime, too.

Mandela effect?

Now we know why he was so popular on the raisin farm.

Sorry, I wasn't saying you were wrong about the reskin joke for Weyoun/Hat Cop. I was just making a joke about Andoria being an ice planet.

I always liked Sub-Zero, so I think I'd go with Shran. Gotta have some ice-themed Andorian attacks, right?

Also, Shran is a badass.
