Fuck Johnny Doc lol. Dude made the mayor pass a beverage tax because he hated the Teamsters and wanted to hurt their business. Regardless of your thoughts on a sugary drink tax as a public health measure, that’s a shitty reason to push it into law.
Wow fuck that guy. Worker's unions are one of the best things in the country
I support unions but if you commit a crime associated with the union, don't let the steel door hit your ass on the way in. It would be refreshing if 30% of America felt the same about other criminal leaders.
Man justice is slow when it involves rich people facing consequences. Black man suspected of stealing a few hundred bucks, straight to jail awaiting trial. Rich guy steals hundreds of thousands of dollars? Yeah hes been found guilty but we'll wait til sometime next year to think about putting him in jail.
