  • Done #drunkgeeking. Headed home #
  • @mhalligan i owe a lot to unions. my family wouldn’t have owned a home, my brother wouldn’t be able to support his family, etc. #
  • @mhalligan unions are a defense against exploitation of the working class – people who pick and slaughter our food, and dig our trenches. #
  • @mhalligan they aren’t perfect, but neither is capitalism or management. #
  • @mhalligan i guarantee you that without a union, my father would not have made a mortgage-paying wage digging trenches and laying pipe. #
  • @mhalligan he also would not have had a retirement plan and pension that followed him through 30 years of hard, physical labor in 10 states #
  • @mhalligan i mean, lets give the same level of scruitiny to capitalism and the excesses of *that* as you’re applying to unions. #
  • @mhalligan poverty? homelessness? business-caused environmental disasters that supposedly our gov’t cleans up? inflation? #
  • @mhalligan i don’t mean to pick on you – lots of people say this type of thing about unions. i just want to point out that real people… #
  • @mhalligan benefit in life-changing, but on a $$ scale – very small ways – compared to the insanity of management compensation. #
  • @xolotl probably would not have turned out *exactly* like this 🙂 #
  • @mhalligan it’s a two way street. unions can be bad, but management practices contribute. #
  • @mhalligan 🙂 and i just think that the “cost to others” is far less than the total cost of capitalism on society.. #
  • @mhalligan i don’t know about unions creating world peace, solving israeli/pal. cnfct – just describing some costs of business. 🙂 #
  • @roberte3 good stewards exist! just not rewarded by society in the ways that most people are trained to want/expect. so not as common. #
  • i have to go to bed, or i would now explain why i think ‘opting-out’ is BS 😀 but thx for listening @mhalligan. #
  • oh, and R ROCKS! http://www.r-project.org/ #
  • signing up for boxing class. #
  • cranking out some work before the downtime. #
  • @ryanwi have you tried skitch? #
  • @garethgreenaway i lost 5 followers yesterday after my union tirade 😀 #
  • @garethgreenaway is was a *pro* union tirade 🙂 #

  • @petdance @theory – your mission, according to chromatic, is to get allison drunk so that she’ll agree to have a mechanical bull at OSCON. #
  • @notbenh — well, they can also be the actual RESULT of a query. i’m interested in how those stacked queries get optimized — or not. #
  • meeting is adjourning to the bar! #
