Black Lives Matter - I Should Have Said You know how you always think of something to say right after it's too late? Well, I got lucky. I got a second chance. At our pizza place, a regular but infrequent customer came in and commented on our "Black Lives Matter" sign, saying the usual, "all lives matter." He took his pizza and left, and, of course, a little while later I thought of a reply. This guy comes in about 5 or 6 times a year. So, a couple of months later, he came back and again said, "all lives matter." A rare opportunity emerged. I said, "You're a union guy, right? So, if the company was locking you out and trying to destroy the union, you might picket and carry a sign that said, 'Union Jobs Matter', not implying that other jobs don't matter, but that union jobs are under attack." His response was to completely ignore that, but we did talk about his decades-long union experiences for a while.
