@TheCalmObserver @redwhitebluedude I passed the labor camp stop like a bullet train a long time ago.

@Debradelai @redwhitebluedude Dollywood could make a better ride than the Chinazi magnet train. It would actually move.

@redwhitebluedude More accurately, they're good at stealing ideas, reverse-engineering, and using inferior materials.

@Debradelai @TheCalmObserver @redwhitebluedude If you were riding the California bullet train, you're in luck - you'll never get to the labor camp stop, or anywhere else!

@pma05 @Debradelai @redwhitebluedude Chicago doesn't have to go to China to buy inferior materials at inflated prices that then fail too soon and have to replaced again.Just check out the asphalt and concrete that toddlin' town has been using on its expressways for the past (fill in the blank) decades. It's Da Chicago Way!

@pma05 @karnage @Debradelai @redwhitebluedude Am going to study this now: The steel castings at the center of the investigation are called journal bearing housings, which allow the movement of the wheels to be independent of the axle.The risk of derailment would be extremely high if one or more of the eight housings, which are located next to the wheels on each rail car, were to break on a moving train, CTA officials said.

@pma05Use the correct terminology pleaseJournal Bearing HousingThey are not axles. They hold the bearings in place that lets the axle spin freely @karnage @Debradelai @redwhitebluedude

@pma05Interesting that this came up today. August 2014 I was driving through Chicago and saw one of these cars next to me on the toll road.Now I know why it avoided using the tracks 😎 @karnage @Debradelai @redwhitebluedude

@karnage @pma05 @Debradelai @redwhitebluedude Absolutely correct.I lived in the Chicago area for 12 years. Anything that was done, was for the benefit of the Union bosses and their "friends". Substandard materials, unreliable sources, questionable workers, corruption, etc... Many projects that were given 6 months to complete, would normally take years. All in the name of Job Security.

@redwhitebluedude @karnage @pma05 @Debradelai Yes, they have raised it to an art form there.When I was there, anything that got done , needed the approval of Michael Madigan. He was the Speaker of the Illinois house. He made the mafia look like the boy scouts.

@redwhitebluedude @karnage @pma05 @Debradelai Yep. And I wouldn't be surprised to see if they get his daughter, Lisa Madigan, who was a state attorney in Chicago. Fwi, they ran in the same social circles as the Obamas when Barack was an Illinois state representative from the south suburbs of Chicago.

@DennisCampbel16 @pma05 @Debradelai @redwhitebluedude The Ward Boss was suspicious of intelligence, initiative and energy.He liked guys who did what they were scheduled to do, when they were scheduled to do it. Don't fuck up. Don't stand out. And keep your fucking mouth shut, unless you heard a good one and knew how to tell it.

@DennisCampbel16 @KathrynK @pma05 @Debradelai @redwhitebluedude Some unions still perform worthwhile functions in some industries in some parts of the country. But government unions are a built-in conflict of interest.

@redwhitebluedude @karnage @KathrynK @pma05 @Debradelai When I hear or see people talk about the "deep state", this is what I'm thinking. Most government unions are predominantly democrats. They are a disease that needs to be eradicated.

@LakePacificLover @karnage @KathrynK @pma05 @Debradelai @redwhitebluedude I just read a thread recently. Can't remember who wrote it. But, teachers unions are probably the biggest threat to our society today. They hold so much power over our kids education.
