Union ©

I was sitting here an hour ago ready to go ballistic on a post but I got called next door to my parents place for lunch so I let it go for then and went to eat.
As I was sitting there I brought up the subject of this post and my parents eyes almost popped out of their head.
Then I expressed my thoughts to them and my father, who usually says something stupid to piss me off, actually said something that not only made sense but also was brilliant.
Give me a second I’m still fanning myself.

My parents aren’t stupid just never educated like I have been, I think they finished the second grade but know how to read and write in Greek.

I told my parents about an article I just read about the panhandlers.
Those are the beggars on the street who hit people up for money when they walk by for those of you who don’t know the slang.
It seems the city has put up wrought iron fences blocking access to under the over passes and also at some of the other areas that posed a problem or some danger to the homeless that were going there to sleep or do drugs.
The Pan Handlers Union has threatened to take the matter to court.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE PAN HANDLERS HAVE A FUCKEN UNION?!!!!!!!

People, these are beggars on the street; they have their own fucken UNION.
I wonder how much their dues are.
12 cigarette butts and a bottle of XXX Sherry per month or you get tossed off the corner you beg from.
What’s next, time-share park benches with other pan handlers across North America or the world?

A fucken union, I couldn’t believe it and I told my parents this and the old man, though he was in shock said that’s the way it has to be if you want to live in a democracy.
He said when you want to live in a society that is free you have to expect people to want to have the same freedoms for what they choose to do, even if you don’t like it and there will always be those in the fringe.

I said, “like those people that want to legalize pot”.
He said “no, they were still criminals like me”.
There you go I still can’t win.

A union for beggars, what’s next?
A union for hookers.
A union for drug dealers

Can you imagine a union for criminals?
If you don’t start buying better stuff for us to steal from your houses we will go on strike.
Do you have any idea what kind of chaos that would create?

If all criminals decided to all go straight, society would crumble.
It really would.

First of all, you got all these unemployed people now who need money and there are no jobs because people are being laid off from the factories, there isn’t as much demand for electronics anymore because no one is stealing them and don’t need replacing.

Cops are getting laid off because crime is down and they can’t even get jobs as security guards because they are cutting back also.
Prisons are closed and guards laid off.
No need for as many courts or judges
The lawyers are like cockroaches nothing gets rid of them.
The ex criminals get re-educated by the government while all the people who lost their jobs go on welfare and wait in line at food banks.
The Ex Cons learn things they never knew while the Ex cops resort to theft and crime to help feed their families.
Ex cons become upset that there are SCABS doing their old jobs, riots erupt in the streets and the military is called in until parliament can convene and force the criminals back to work.
It’s a vicious circle.

Hypothetically speaking, if there was no crime, the world would be fucked.
Right now the average unemployment rate in the world is about 10%
Crime prevention and policing is about 20%
20% of the population is retired
30% are women who stay home and take care of the house

So if crime ended today and we didn’t need all that policing anymore we will have 20% of the world population trying to feed the other 80%.
Food for thought.

Either the world is fucken crazy or it’s me.
A beggars union, to me that’s ridiculous but as my father said we live in a democracy and we allow for people to believe as they wish as long as it doesn’t affect others but…..

The Mafia Union
HA!!!
That would be something else.
Can you see the labour board subpoenaing the godfather because Joe “The Nose” Soprino filed a grievance against his former employer, BOSS of bosses, the God Father, for putting a contract out on him without giving him severance pay before trying to sever his head from his body.

Or they go on strike and march around the front of the Godfather’s house with placards demanding better health care and remote car starters.

There is no reason for them to be homeless.
A room is about $450 a month and welfare gives you $620.
If you don’t have a place, welfare gives you a street allowance of about $250 per month.
So if the took a room they would still have $170 left in their pockets and a room for $80 a month but they would rather sleep under the over passes and create a crime zone.
It was one of these people that murdered my Ex’s niece a couple of years ago while she was waiting for the bus then tossed her into the canal.

If these places were closed off to these people then they would be forced to live better and create a safer place for them and us to live but no, they rather use their democratic rights to start up a fucken UNION and stay living in peril.

A Panhandlers union, I can’t believe it.
Democracy at its finest.
The world is going to hell but the homeless want to freeze their butts off under a cement tombstone.

Do you have to go to Pan Handling School and get a diploma to be a beggar?
You know, like learn how to hold the hat so that it looks like you haven’t eaten in a while and lack the strength to hold it in your weak fingers.

Learn the finer points of communication.
“Excuse me sir, can you spare some change for I have not eaten in days and am starving as is my dog”.

Well they couldn’t have been that starving, if they had been one of them wouldn’t be here because the other would have eaten him/dog by now.
If you are homeless and can’t feed yourself, WTF are you doing with a dog the size of CUJO.
They all have these big fucken dogs that look like they are a cross between a moose and a bear.
Smell like it too.

“Thank you Ms for your kindness and spare change, especially the pennies were. I can now look forward to finding another 400 of them to buy that gourmet coffee at Star Bucks I have been having the shakes thinking about. I have my own private table there”.

When you don’t give them what they feel is enough they make sure to thank you accordingly.

“You cheap fat fucker”

That is what one panhandler told one of my friends as he walked into the pub.
If the guy had been looking at my friend closely, whom he was yelling at, he would have might have recognised his social worker but naw, all they remember is the cheque.

They are taking the city to court so they could live like dogs in the cold.
People all over the world are trying to get out of the elements and live better but this bunch wants to live in the freezing cold, go figure.

We should take pictures of them living under there in the winter when it’s –45c and send copies of them to all of those underdeveloped countries to see.
They’ll think they’re better off where they are and not try and sneak in here.
More food for thought. HA HA HA

Have a nice day
