President Carter, now in his last days, home to be with his family as he passes, once personally saved Ottawa from a Nuclear Disaster, at risk, and cost, to his life, suffering from radiation poisoning all his life.

Canada had a Nuclear Accident in the 50s, asked the US for help, Lieutenant Jimmy Carter lead a team out of NY.

The future President Carter, had his team lower him into the reactor.

I had no idea. I have no idea why this isn't widely known

How a future U.S. president helped avert nuclear disaster near Canada's capital | CBC News

In 1952, an experimental nuclear reactor in Chalk River, Ont., about 180 kilometres northwest of Ottawa, partially melted down, becoming the world's first nuclear reactor incident. Disaster was averted, in part, with help from future U.S. president Jimmy Carter.

Talk about being “cancelled” - the GOP has hoodwinked the country into believing his career and presidency was disastrous and not worthy of mentioning.

Meanwhile Reagan is revered and often mentioned positively by the MSM. (The guy who struck a deal w the ayatollah to keep the hostages until after the election).

@inklings @kevinrns Thanks for reminding people about the hostage thing. Reagan was as big of a sleaze bag as Trump. The only thing that prevented Reagan from being remembered as the dumber version of Nixon was a PR campaign.

That, and he was a professional actor. He wasn't a very good actor, but he was a better actor than most politicians. He knew how to stand in front of a camera and turn on the charm. I mean hell, he did it for cigarettes.

That’s why Ed Meese recruited him for the GOP. He could read a prepared script.

Unions are unions of members. No one new comes in because a union is formed. Workplace filled with Reagans? They deserve a good wage and a good work life balance.

"No one new comes in because a union is formed."

Sorry, but that's just plain wrong, and typical anti-union rhetoric.

@DavidMHarlan @inklings @DaveRussell

lol ha ha ha

when "you and yer mates" form a union, the union is "you and yer mates."
Thats the point, pretty shimple

If new folks are hired (not by you silly, by yer boss) you get a new mate, and a new union member.

If you want to hire as well, thats called a coop, lots of them around too.

There are other kinds of coops too.

How bad is my writing anyway?

No idea what your misconception is, when you form a union, it is a union of those the boss has hired. Same folks before the election, during the election, after the election.

The boss may hire others, the union doesn't get a say. More members for the union. All union members are hired by the boss.

Where is your mistake?
