8. been down this road before, haven't we?
fuckers have no intention of carrying through, it's just some bait to keep the gullible thinking their reps have spines and buy some insignificant perk from the insurance companies and pretend some hard bargaining has been done.

fuckers. the lot of them. torches and pitchforks is the only thing that will work.
