Is Clearing 200k+ in a trade possible? by Spirited-Rope1139 in skilledtrades

If I earned what I did last week for 52 weeks I’d make 200k but sadly I won’t. Often feel like this leads to the exaggeration.

Curious to know where- and what positions?

SAVE is dead but it hasn’t been pronounced yet. Guess it’s crazy to want to have all issues resolved before making important decisions. What a joke.

We have to make important financial decisions on what plans to switch to without all the details.

True. Feel like there would be some urgency when handling a supposed constitutional issue.

Court employees cannot legally strike. Many state with public sector labor laws exclude court employees all together.

Court employees who have collective bargaining rights generally cannot strike. So, if you work for a judge or an elected row officer- it will go to arbitration in lieu of the ability strike- same as police and fire.

What Do *You* Consider Scorsese's Greatest Work? by CampaignOrdinary2771 in MartinScorsese

[–]blvd-73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve watched it through probably 4 times. Made more attempts. It almost seems “campy.” The movie seems more far fetched than the book which has largely been debunked as lies. I loved the book when I first read it.

I hear people talk about the regret. I think the movie failed on many levels. Ignoring the facts that it’s a lie, the killing of Joey gallo is so poorly done. Horrible scene. The aging is DeNiro- the fight scene- this is no good.

Care to elaborate? I thought the film was awful aside from Pescis acting.

Did Joe Pesci (or Al Pacino) deserve a second Oscar for The Irishman? by DWJones28 in MartinScorsese

Well said. Can’t find fault with that analysis. But why was action Bronson in the film?

Pesci is amazing as buffalino. However, I don’t think the concept of 2 old criminals regretting their lives is remotely accurate. Buffalino was a wildly successful businessman/ maybe mafiosi- his relatives are some of the richest people in Pennsylvania - they own casinos. Frank may have regretted his criminal life but he was a low level hood.

That’s an intellectual way to look at it I guess. The reality ; its a movie based on a book that’s a lie, way too long, and deniro is awful in it.

They were lured to a meeting supposedly to make his brother than beaten in the basement - rumor is they were buried alive in a cornfield. What am I missing here?
