Gonzalez leads legislative pack in cop union cash
Historically, the most effective form of leverage that unions have with employers is the strike. Teachers and nurses shouldn't be allowed to strike. You're holding students and patients hostage.— June 13, 2020 6:04 p.m.
Gonzalez leads legislative pack in cop union cash
I know you're "Joe union" and it's abundantly clear that being a retired union worker worked out well for you. I'm happy for you. Please keep in mind that not every employee "needs" union representation. Like my husband and I. Neither one of us are union, we're doing okay financially, and neither one of us have ever been fired. We're both well-educated. You don't need a union to be paid well, have excellent benefits, and a pension. What you need is an education, and the professional and people skills to succeed professionally. The highest (and lowest) paid employees are employed at-will. Union employees fall somewhere in between. And some would say union employees are definitely. overpaid. Getting defensive over union employment is ridiculous. We're not taking about your first born son. I don't care what union employees are paid (or anyone for that matter) but union protection of bad cops, firefighters, nurses, teachers, etc. is pathetic. Whether you want to accept it or not. And lastly, anyone skilled in negotiations can easily be paid what they're worth. I get paid more without a contract. I negotiate salary with a bullet proof vest. Everything is negotiable...— June 13, 2020 11:15 a.m.

I totally agree. And unionized nurses.— June 13, 2020 8:57 a.m.
Mexican pastries and Irish breakfasts – Sugar & Scribe's odd pairing
Sugar & Scribe... the quintessential hangout in La Jolla! Great service and excellent menu!— June 13, 2020 8:52 a.m.
Popular music is untrue and inauthentic
Bayside Summer Nights is enjoyable. I'm not sure I understand your analogy comparing professional athletes to singers. Athletes are criminalized for artificially enhancing their performance because they're competing against another team, and in baseball... hoping to make it to the playoffs. Last time I was at any concert, I don't remember any umpires calling any player out. I believe you're talking apples and oranges.— June 12, 2020 8:57 a.m.
Oceanside police answer criticism
Getting rid of the Union is the ONLY way to get rid of bad cops. I'm not anti-union -- there are pros and cons of at-will and Union employment. But if you need Union protection, you're a lousy worker. And nobody wants to work with dead weight. If it wasn't for the Union in Minneapolis PD, Chauvin would've been fired a long time ago. And anyone with an ounce of common sense knows this. Support the police! The good ones anyway.— June 11, 2020 9:04 a.m.
Oceanside police answer criticism
The choke-hold probably shouldn't have been allowed to begin with, but if suspects would quit resisting arrest it wouldn't be necessary. The anti-police are pathetic. The more power you take away from the police, the more the criminal wins. Isn't California too soft on crime already? As long as the protest was peaceful.— June 9, 2020 6:30 p.m.

Wow. The level of maturity.— June 8, 2020 10:39 a.m.
Parolee runs over motorcycle cop in Oceanside
Act as his own attorney... a fool for a client. I'm beyond amused by defendants that try to pull this off. The level of narcissism...— June 5, 2020 12:15 p.m.
