Hey, NY Transit Workers. You Want Respect? Do Your Fu*king Job.

Who could go through today without putting their two-cents in? Not us.

Roder Toussaint, you fu*king coward. And to the rest of the 33,700 overpaid monkeys who apparently can't think for themselves, we wish you ill health and bad fortune this holiday season.

No billion-dollar a year corporation in this country would EVER grant their employees a non-performance-based 5% or even 8% yearly raise, let alone allow them to retire at 55. Your salaries are all well over the national average. Your kids get health care. You get a pension. And while it may be difficult to live in New York on $55,000 a year, you're still better off than 80% of this country.

If you don't like it, move.

As for striking the week before Christmas, with a tourist-filled New York City, could you have screwed your fellow New Yorkers any more? Demand respect. And should you return to work, making that much more than I do, driving a train and receiving a non-performance based raise every year, not only will I piss in your cab, but when I'm done, I'll take a shit on your shoes. Fu*k you. Buy new ones. After a stunt like this, how much respect do you think you'll get?

None of you are above the law and none of you deserve anymore than anyone else. If you drive a bus, or if you drive a cab, or if you lead a train through the subway, regardless, if you enjoy what you do, than I respect you. If not, then get a new job. If you're under qualified, then get an education.

If you do your job and fulfill your job responsibilities, then I respect you. But when you selfishly screw the 7 million DAILY commuters who rely on you, everyday, just to get more money and demand respect, do not forget that there are undoubtedly 33,700 people in this country, (at least working at Walmart) who would take your job for your current pay and benefits, in a heartbeat.

And I hope they do.

For pictures on exactly why they deserve a raise, this is for you.

See, now if they had my Easy Button, this would all be taken care of. I gave you all plenty of notice. But you didn't believe me. Did you?

I swear this world would be a lot better off if it just listened to me. Now world, go get me a Venti Chai.

Thank you.
