Bro... To be honest I was playing splinter lands when I saw this post pop up in my Gina bot notifications for a las vegas word trigger. Exactly how I first met ya.
We both worked in Vegas and San Fran as union peeps. Trippy man.
Im 18 years in. After '08 they capped the yearly amount of contributions to 50g earned or like 50 bucks. I saw the 80 hours weeks and 36 hour quad time gigs before '08 with 400 or so contributed towards retirement each quarter. Something like that.
You got out just in time. You literally were the last of generations of people from the Union glory days. It is becoming diluted anymore with non craftsmens and just sharky no talent yes men.
So you went to vegas and left with your life in tact and brought your heart to SF and didn't leave it there??? Oh shit dude you are a wizard.
You live your life in an outstanding way as far as prospective goes. You really do make the most of things and while you can see the bad in things you always outweigh the good seemingly I mean I don't really know you but I sure do feel like I do reading your posts and interacting with you.
In a way you're kind of like a role model for me. You have that same snarky Union mentality of standing up for what's right no matter what. Truly our voice and Community is where we get our power. You do a great job conveying yourself and representing yourself while still speaking your mind in ways others are afraid to.
I can go on a lot more but I don't want to turn this into a Ricky Bobby love story
Reading your posts are a highlight of my week!
Oh and those two ladies you mentioned do they manage the SSG community or just the blogging tag?
I've known some people and had good relationships with people in that community over the past four years now. I don't think I have ever met anyone in a community that has been disrespectful or anything. It's just when I see their posts with a ladies of hive banner I kind of awkwardly walk backwards away. Half the time I don't convey myself well and I'm afraid I'll say something just all wrong to wealthy women especially as a non precious metal holder🤣
Long story short especially with your reference I could probably start following those two and be more conscious about my words if I were to comment on their posts. Clearly, as a guy of hive and you promoting them they're probably cool😋😎
Know that I'll be back to respond proper to some of the kindest things I've been told on here but wanted to say 'No, they do not do anything ssg and this is the first I've heard of that/them.'
Thank you
Firstly, sorry I haven't been calling you Brother til now my brother.
My buddy Galen is hosting a competition this week and I'm judging. Been paying a lot of attention to that and trying to muster up a worthy response to you at the same time.
Another thing you got stiffed on are 1-1 pension hours. There was a short time in the beginning of my career where 702 was crediting pension hours per time worked so 1.5 hours or double time meant 1.5/double the pension hours.
I know I'm one of the last brother. Many used to be like me unfortunately everyone who taught me everything I know are dead or retired. I'm third generation so I never so much as bought Chinese hats. I'm obviously not that way anymore but Union is all my heritage knows.
My pleasure to be a role model and I mean that sincerely. Just know only about 10% of what I do is tried and true, the other 90 is one fuck up after the other. 😉
Lizelle is one of the sweetest ladies on here. Whenever she partners up with someone like FionasFavourites, I make sure to help out. Their latest one is about retirement... You're probably too young. <-- Get to work!
Thank you for appreciating my content. And thanks for supporting as many content producers as you do. 👍🏿
Sincerely,

Yeah it is all based on payrollers and the diff contracts we had for pension contributions. There wasn't a templated contract everyone followed after the nevada resort association was dissolved(mob). When the mob in Vegas disbanded in the 80s/90s in the corporate world we lost that single contract with right to work.
With GES there was no caps on contributions and overtime counted. But freeman and blackrock took over and now being union doesn't make sense. Been told to start disability process anyhow so maybe in 2 years I can fully retire...
Are you just hosting or judging too...
Only judging.
You know that's pretty depressing to hear right?
Early outs. Bro you know they cancelled that part of our amendment right? There is no disability out in #0477 anymore.
What's your other account? I know you have another one, greenk or something like that. Is that the one you release your own content on? Do you do a lot of reposting with that account as well or just this one?
So you're in Vegas right now then?
The @dynamicgreentk account is my account I built up over the past 4 years in a sloppy fashion. I do make my personal blogs there now better now.
dynamichivers is my community account for engagement and dynamicsteemians is old steem community account I use for curation as there are still lots of people voting with trail still, helps posts get boosted to HOT section on hive.
yes in Vegas. I want to move but I have to hire lawyer for estate in probate.
Where are you? About. Summerlin area, North Vegas, South Pointe area?
Yeah my IP address is giving me away right? on mobile it bounces ya to LA.
South Vegas currently. lived in all of those areas though.
That's cool dude. I miss Vegas. I've only been there two times since my mother never left Sunrise. Fuckin Sunrise. But I miss it. I had a lot of fun there. Some of my best and worst stories are from that 08 era.
