Becoming The Overman

Oh, the power $1M a day can have!

After losing so much money for so long a time, the members of the NY Transit Union finally said, "Eh, hey...I kinda need money. I mean, this whole 'strike' thing was fun and all, but...uh, I'd like to get back to work now." Well, that's what I thought.

And then, even when the workers are like, yeah, we'll work now, the Union Executive still spent a few hours thinking about whether or not he'd concede the strike. I wonder how that went...

Transit Worker: "Hey, sir. Uh, I know we said we'd stay on strike till we got a raise and all, but I'm running out of money and, frankly sir, I'm getting sorta hungry. I think we should stop and just go back to work."

The Union: "Yeah, that's a good idea...ok. Hey, Mr. Bush, we'll go back to work now. Sorry about all of this. No hard feelings?"

Union Executive: "Hey! No! Bush, they don't mean it. I control whether the union stays on STRIKE and therefore whether the workers continue to accrue the $1M fines per day, and I say we're not giving in to your 'Democratic' ways!"

The Union: "WHAT?"

Transit Worker: "I swear to freakin GOD if you make me pay one more CENT, I'll take this monorail here and shove it straight up your--!"

The Union: "Wait, Bill...that doesn't scare him. But how's about this--we'll all boycott this pathetic excuse for a union faster than you can whistle dixie. In other words, we'll strike the strike. And that would leave you with what job again?"

Union Executive: (with a frightened smile) "O-K, heh, break's over. Back to work!"

Yeah, I thought so. Now what United States President George W. Bush should have done was just hire business mongul Donald Trump to fire the entire union in one fail swoop for abusing the government's resources and endangering the lives of millions of New York citizens. Call everyone on the unemployment list and tell them we have some sudden job openings. Then let New Yorkers kill every single transit worker in the city...and you know they will.

At least, that's what I would have done...if only I ruled America.
