NOTE: THIS IS SPECIFICALLY ABOUT A STANDALONE TOILET. THIS IS NOT ABOUT A BATH/HALF BATH IN THE BASEMENT.

Some motherfucker from the suburbs of a big city had the audacity to tell me, a person whose entire family is from a notorious Rust Belt city and who’s uncle still works the night shift at the glass factory, that factory jobs weren’t important in America, and that unions didn’t matter…
Be so serious right now, the bread factory and meat packing factory next to my hometown shut down and the 30,000 people that lived in surrounding towns and worked there, lost their jobs and their livelihoods because the state I live in decided to Union bust like it no tomorrow
The only thing that has protected workers in the Rust Belt is unions, not the government and the state government has been determined to shut down any, and all unions which results in all of the people in places like my hometown losing their jobs.
So your ass, coming from the fucking suburbs of Chicago doesn’t get to tell me that unions and factory workers arent important just because you live in a town where the high school teachers have fucking PhD’s and get paid more than an entire family of generational factory workers. Your lived experience does not hold up to the blue collar towns in states you look down on.
Unions are, and will always be the best and most effect way to protect workers from exploitation and the government and every single human being that has a job benefits from the work of unions in the decades past.
