15. I think California is a union State

6. The worker was almost certain a union member.

Are union members stupid?

I have seen such SHIT from people trying to find a way to make this political. It's bullshit. It was an error. Human error.
People are fallible. Systems are fallible.

Then the Yuma line went down, then San Onofre.
