    Personal opinion:

    I love trains, but not having train services every other weekend pisses me off.

    “Aslef, the train drivers’ union, said it is seeking better pay for its members and claimed drivers are being asked to sacrifice working conditions in exchange for a wage increase.” Say that to a tube driver, he’ll land a really good punch on your face.

    They got better pay than a tube driver, and a much more pleasant working environment (especially tne part where the background noise is less than 80dB), I don’t really see what’s their argument.

      The tube drivers can go fuck themselves. Ask the child laborers who dig up sulfur with their bare hands in an active volcano!

      There’s always someone worse off. That doesn’t mean the second-to-last doesn’t deserve better.

      There is always someone who is worse off, so never do something about you own situation. Makes sense.

        We need to make a list of all the problems in the world from biggest to smallest and we’ll only work on Item 2 when Item 1 is resolved.

      The tube drivers, who famously never go on strike.
