Blaze Radio Network. And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. In a world that has become a world of, I guess, oversharing, we have a story of Rachel Kennedy, who believed it was her lucky day, and so did her family. The boyfriend and the mom jumping up and down, she was excited because it looked as though she won 182 million euros. That's about $254 million American dollars.

Because her lotto ticket numbers came in. But not so fast because she didn't play her numbers that week. Oh man. That is like a knife in the heart. And by oversharing, the boyfriend tweeted, When Your Mrs. decides to not play the Euro millions and all seven of her usual numbers come up. And with crying phase emojis, 182 million euros.

And he showed the winning numbers from the UK millionaire maker lotto. Man, I'll tell you what, we talk a lot about people fortunate enough to win hundreds of millions of dollars. But I don't know if they could be together anymore after that. I don't think so. I think it's time to break up. These are numbers you always play because they're your favorite numbers and now they come, they hit,

and you didn't play them? Yeah, we can't be together anymore. Sorry, I love you, but I gotta go. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Pop-Tarts. You know them, you love them. The favorite, at least in my house,

is the strawberry-flavored pop tarts. And, you know, for a long time, you open them up, and it doesn't seem like there's that much goo in the middle of them. It looks as though the goo is becoming smaller and smaller in the Pop-Tart itself. Well, now there's a class action lawsuit against Kellogg's sales company, because Anita Harris in the Southern District of Illinois argues that Kellogg's sales company is misleading consumers by promoting the breakfast pastries strawberry filling in its label and marketing, giving an impression that the fruit filling contains a greater relative and absolute amount of strawberries

than it does. In reality, the company's frosted strawberry toaster pastries contain 2% or less of dried strawberries, dried pears, dried apples, and red red apples, and red 40, according to the nutrition label. Now, it just so happens that I have a box of strawberry pop tarts from the pantry. I know. I know it comes as a surprise. This is the 16 value pack, the Toaster Pastries Value Pack, the toasted strawberry pop tarts.

And I, on the back, it says, crazy good, no matter how you love them. And it talks about straight from the foil. toasted, stacked, or frozen. I will say I've never had a frozen Pop-Tart. That does sound like something I'm going to have to try. But when you look at the Datos de Nutrition on the side of the package, it says a good source of 3B vitamins, which is great.

And it also talks about 370 calories. But then you look at the ingredients, shall we? And as we take a look at the old box, Here ingredients in rich flour, wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, vitamin B, thiamine monotrate, vitamin B2, riboflavin, folic acid, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, dextrose, soybean, and palm oil, with TBHQ for freshness, sugar bleached wheat flour, contains 2% or less of wheat starch, salt, dried strawberries, dried pears, dried apples, leaving baking soda, sodium, acid, frosphrate, non-aclonium phosphate, citric acid, gelatin, modified wheat starch, yellow corn flour, caramel flour, zyothan, gum, cornstarch, turmeric, turmeric, extract color, soy lectin, red 40, yellow 6, blue 1 color added. Contains wheat and soy ingredients.

I guess really what she's saying is true. Whether a toaster pastry contains only strawberries or merely some strawberries as basic front label information consumers rely on when making quick decisions at the grocery store. That's what the lawsuit reads. Strawberries are the products characterizing ingredient. Consumers believe they are present in an amount greater than is the case. I mean, that's, yes. The lawsuit compares Kellogg's product to similar toaster pastries from other brands like Walmart's Great Value and Dollar Trees, Clover Valley.

The competitors also offer frosted strawberry pastries, but note that they are naturally and artificially flavored, according to the lawsuit. Big surprise, Kellogg's did not immediately respond for a request and for a comment in this article. The lawsuit goes on to cite the Illinois consumer fraud in December. and deceptive business practices act, which says deceptive acts such as false pretense, false promise, misrepresentation, or the concealment, suppression, or omission of any material fact is unlawful.

So we'll see what becomes of the old class action lawsuit against pop tarts and its frosted strawberry and or regular strawberry pop tarts without the frosting. And I will say the picture on the box, really is kind of misleading in and of itself. The picture has the frosting almost all the way to the edges, and the strawberry stuffing in the middle is a lot thicker and almost the entire portion of the Pop-Tart.

That's really not what it looks like. I mean, I know that we're taking pictures for advertising, and we want food to look better than what it really looks like, I guess. But it is kind of misleading. I mean, you know what you're getting when you get a Pop-Tart, right? It's not, you're not looking for fresh strawberries in the middle of this baked piece of goo. But it's a little misleading. So good luck.

Good luck to Anita Harris in the... Southern District of Illinois. And I will say, bringing this to the forefront may anger some people because, you know, this fake strawberry is not really fake strawberry, is just the amount of fruit that's in a Pop-Tart. My wife is allergic to fruit, but she is able to eat the strawberry Pop-Tarts, which is why we get them, because that's her way of getting some fruit. And I will say that she has, she uses Reese's peanut butter cups with the pop tarts for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

That really isn't a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but it's her way of having one. So if Anita ruins this for people who are allergic to fruit, there's going to be some angry people out there. I don't know who you want to please more. Do you want to please people that can't eat fruit and are happy with pop tarts? the way they are, or do you want to please people that say, come on now, let's have a little bit more strawberry goo in there. I'll leave that up to you. So for those of you listening live today on the 25th of October 2021, it's a big birthday day. I think Katie Perry was born today. Also, Pablo Picasso born today, 140 years ago, Pablo was born, and my oldest son was born on this day.

the 25th of October. So happy birthday to Elvis. But I will say Pablo was in the news because they sold a bunch of his works of art a couple days ago for more than $100 million. So Pablo's still making a little bit of cash. You know, Pablo's not making any money off of it.

But they sold some of his artwork at the MGM resorts because, well, they wanted MGM to diversify its collection. They want to include more art from women, people of color, and emerging nations, as well as from LGBTQ artists and artists with disabilities. Now, if those artists were up to Picasso-level art, great. If we're just doing it to throw them a bone. Okay.

Okay, whatever. Apparently, American museums and art galleries have been working to broad, their collections in the wake of the widespread cultural reckoning in 2020 over racism at all levels of U.S. society. In 2019, the Public Library of Science Study, huh, okay, that's great. They studied 18 leading U.S. museums, and they found that 85% of the artists on display are white and 87% are men. Those bastards. I can't take it. So the MGM Resorts Fine Arts Collection

boasts about 900 works by 200 artists, including modern pieces by Bob Dylan and David Hockney, and it was started more than 20 years ago by Steve Wynn, who was the former owner of the Bellagio and former CEO of Wynn Resorts, Mr. Big Guy, who stepped back because of the Me Too movement, I believe was Steve's issue. But now the art isn't good enough.

So we're selling it off. Now, it's still making some cash. So it was over $100 million for the works of art that they sold. And they've still got plenty of art left. So, I don't know. I don't know what to tell you. The five paintings that hung on the walls of the Bellagio's fine dining restaurant, the Picasso's, the restaurant's.

The restaurant's going to continue to display 12 other Picasso works. So they made a little over. 100 million they'll spend they'll buy some more art from the people of color women emerging nations as well as from LGBTQ and disability artists disabilities artists so i don't know what that art would be if it's great it's great if it's not and we're just putting it up there because it's part of this community. I don't know who wins that fight. I guess they do.

Just make it good art, please. Make it good art. It's all I ask. Just make it good. Because I fear we're just going to get into the Hunter Biden artwork plan, where it's Hunter Biden, so it's supposed to be good, and we're just buying it for access to his dad.

We found out that he's got his paintings on display in New York now for his New York. York City show. And apparently three, I mean, it's busy. It's busy there. You can barely move around. Three potential buyers showed up to the art show. I guess there were a couple people that showed up that were denied admission to the gallery.

There's no explanation of why they were denied. But you can probably have a pretty good idea of why they were denied. denied, but he did get three whole people to come in and take a look at the great artwork that is Hunter Biden. I'm sure one of them will be hanging up at the Bellagio soon. Can't wait for that. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. So good. So, so good. So plenty of Ed Shearin in the news. He tested. He tested. tested positive for COVID-19. He is self-isolating.

He said that he left a quick note, said he's going to continue to give planned interviews and performances from home. So he apologizes to anyone that he's let down, be safe, everyone. You know, sadly tested for positive for COVID and now I'm self-isolating and following government guidelines. It means that I'm now unable to plow ahead with any in-person commitments, so I'll be doing my best to keep my planned interviews and performances from my home. It's so weird how people feel like they've failed when they test positive for COVID. It's really a strange thing. I know he apologized for people that he's let down.

I guess that just means, you know, for the people that he was supposed to see in person. and do interviews and stuff. He just started a new record label. And, you know, he's, you know, really busy. So I guess that's what he means. But it's really strange how people, when they get COVID, they feel like it's an embarrassment that they've let everyone down by catching this virus.

It's just strange to me. That's all. And I know that Ed is in a big squabble with Elton John right now. Elton and Ed are collaborating on a Christmas song. and he was supposed to be secret and Ed was on some Dutch radio station. NPO Radio 2. I love NPO Radio 2, the Dutch radio station. And he was, he announced that he was going to be doing this Christmas duet with Elton John.

And Elton was kind of pissed. He was saying, effing big mouth. It was supposed to keep our secret about the collaboration. But now it's out there. Well, and, you know, so the squabble is. on. And I guess Elton had gotten a hold of Ed, and they've been working on a Christmas thing. It was going to be a special Christmas release. And so Ed, uh, you know, inadvertently talked about it on a radio interview. I find that hard to believe. I feel like it's a made up fight just to do a quick

test, you know, dip your toe into the water of, uh, well, I'll just mention it and see if it gets any traction and see what people think about it. And it's going to be huge. You know, you know it is. So I feel like this is really just kind of a made-up fight. And Elton is like, yeah, just do it. And then I'll be pissed and then we'll finish up the record. It's just me, though. Okay, I did watch Dune this weekend on HBO Max.

I did not traverse to the theaters to watch it. Maybe I should have because the sound probably would have been better. We watched it, you know, watching in my living room. I've really found that, and maybe it's just my screen, my television in our living room, but whenever we watch a movie on HBO Max

that was released, I mean, I have to turn that volume. I know I'm deaf. I know I'm deaf. I get it. I've had headphones in my ears and on top of my ears for 100 years now. And, you know, my left ear is almost,

I mean, it's kind of. completely, well, it's not completely deaf, but it's pretty close. I mean, with, if you're talking to me into my left ear, it sounds like, this, what are you doing? I can't relate you if you're talking about like this. My right ear is still pretty good. But if I'm laying on my right ear and you're talking to me, I was finding stuff like this, and I can't tell you. I do. I know. I know. But so I need to, you know, kind of keep that right ear toward you. But I just was, I have to. I have to. turn it way up and the audio coming through is just weird. And I saw a post from someone who said they were not unhappy with the Dune movie.

And it was Charles Ayers who put up on Twitter. The sound sucked watching on HBO Max. I could not hear the dialogue and still pounded with extreme bass through my speakers. So maybe it wasn't just me. Perhaps it was the actual

HBO movie. experience. I mean, they're forced to me to go to the theaters, bastards. Because Dune did pretty good. First weekend, I think they had like 40 or 50 million. And we'll see. This was part one. We'll see if part two ever gets made.

I mean, I don't know how much money they have to make to actually okay, part two. As far as I know, part two has not been rubber stamped to be made yet. So we might be waiting another 18 years before we see Dune.

too. And it was okay. You know, it was all right. Whatever. I mean, it was fine. And what's her face? I mean, there's a couple people in the movie that are, you know, pretty good-looking humans. And I'm not just talking about Zendaya and Rebecca Ferguson, you know, you had Jason Momoa and Timothy Charlemagne. And so, I mean, it's some big names. Josh Brolin. and uh stella and scars guard was in it it was it was fun it was a lot of characters and it was i don't know i didn't really that's my that's my review i didn't really yeah that's it's it didn't stop me from watching the whole thing all the way through and i felt like oh man when i was i was ready to watch i really was ready to watch uh two right then so let's get to it let me you know i'm sold

Rubber stamp it. Let's go. And I'd like to tell David Chase, David, you're welcome. I read where you're in talks with HBO Max and Warner Media to create another Sopranos prequel series on HBO Max. I told you that was going to happen right here

on Chewing the Fat. Hello, they left the movie perfectly for it. And the series would be much better. And they could do so much more with it. and they could take it from where the movie ended, the Many Saints of Newark, where the movie ended, right up to,

you know, where the Sopranos started. And those years pre-the-pre-the-pre-quel from where the movie ended, up until the Sopranos started, there's some great stories that could be written in that window. And it'll be fun. It'd be fun with all the characters. It would be awesome.

So I would count on that happening. And that'll be another, Another big hit. And, you don't forget that we have, HBO's got Succession

up and running and I have not seen episode two yet of the new latest season because I had, you know, walking dead,

fear and world beyond last night. So today is my day to catch succession. So I'll give you a review tomorrow on chewing the fat. Don't forget talking walking dead

is about the time you're hearing this show if you're listening to it right now. On the 25th of October, the new show is out, Talking Walking Dead with Jason and the Maximus, my son. So Jason Buttrill and Maximus Fisher joined me and Talking Walking Dead.

And that was a really fun episode that you can go back and listen to, or maybe you've already heard it. And now you're listening to Chewing the Fat. Ha! So either way, enjoy it. And don't forget to follow me. As long as I'm hawking my wares,

Don't forget to follow me on Twitter at Jeffey JFR. Facebook and Instagram is Jeff Fisher Radio. And you can help me raise some money for our rescue by a shave ahead, save a human. And I'm just trying to raise $6,000 to save a life. It costs $6,000 to help survivors for a year. After they're rescued from our rescue, they help them transition. and for legal documents, medical, travel to home country, food, water, lodging, transportation, education, vocational training, it costs $6,000 per survivor for one year. And I'd like to raise at least, you know, $6,000 to pay for one year for one survivor.

And I'll shave my head if we raise that money. Okay, so the link is in my bios on my social media accounts and donate what you can and help. you know, a survivor of human slavery, human trafficking, that OUR rescue. And they do such a tremendous job. And you can just donate. And I'll shave my head live on Instagram and Facebook coming up in November. I believe I said the date would be November 19th. So let's hope you get me to $6,000 before that point.

And then I'll shave this hair off my head, which I am tired of. Let it grow. This is the longest. my hair's been in a long, long, probably forever, although I let it grow pretty long in the 1800s when I was crossing the country headed out west for the gold rush. But, and then I, you know, shaved it off once we got out west. So it's probably the longest, it's been since the 1800s.

So help me raise enough money so I can shave it back off again. So I thought I'd started a new segment here on chewing the fat. And just call it, well, for the lack of, you know, an actual title. We'll just call it weekend emails with Jeffrey. So every weekend, you know, I leave here on Friday. I'll leave you with Friday's show. Sometimes it's Fat Pile Friday. Other times it's, you know, a regular chewing the fat show.

I try to get in as many stories as I can and all week. And there's just so much stuff every day. So a lot of times, all during, you know, even Monday through Friday, but specifically during the weekends, I try to, you know, watch stuff, get caught up on things. I have sporting events to watch, too, you know. And so I just read headlines and stories,

and I send them to myself. And I just email them to me. And so, you know, come Sunday night, Monday morning, I look at the emails and go through and get stories that, you know, may work for the show, may not work for the show, the show, but it's good to know because I don't know if we're going to talk about it on Pat during the week on Wednesday and Friday, or if I have to, you know, if there's ever an opportunity where I have to fill in for Pat or be on Pat's show or fill in on Glenn or be on Glenn show.

So I like to, you know, have stories in my head so that I'm able to talk, maybe not, maybe not intelligently, but I know about the stories when we talk about them. So I thought I'd share, these are the emails that I sent myself, most of them, from Friday to Sunday, that I just sent to myself. Oh, yeah, I sent them to myself. This one is called Alec Shooting Safer.

And then the next one is called Alec. And then the next one is called Alec Baldwin. And they're all just talking about the shooting on the set of Rust. And some of them are how horrible it was. Some of them are talking about, you know, obviously the photographer, the head of photography, cinematography, who was shot and killed, and the director who was shot,

and how bad it was. And then there were stories about the prop, the head of the prop department, was the daughter of some big Hollywood prop guy, and she didn't think that she was ready to do her own movie. I don't know if that's true or not. I just remember reading, delving into the story real quick, before I just emailed it to myself.

And I just, you know, there's so much going on. So sad for the families of this. We've heard from actors who say, how could this happen? Protocols weren't followed. I mean, that's clear, right? It is an accident and many protocols weren't followed. But to think that you would never be on a set,

a movie set and not point a gun at another human being or a photographer as you're filming, is silly in my estimation. Of course you would. You're filming. They talked about him filming. They were filming a shot where he was supposed to shoot into the camera. Look into the camera.

That's the what happens. So sadly, and it was, you know, the weapon was, you know, had real bullets in it. Or there's a way for fake bullets to fire. And so, you know, the investigation will come true. But it's a very, you know, it's a very sad situation. Next email, January 6th, as the title of the email. And the email talks about a black man given longest sentence over Capitol riots, even though he didn't go.

Well, that's good. That's good, right? He was in D.C. He just didn't go over to the Capitol at the time. And he posted some stuff on social media that, oh, my gosh, is the end of the world. And we can't have that. And then I have the next email in line is wife killer. What a fascinating story.

And it's just a story about this guy who killed his wife. And it happened like, I don't know, 35 years ago. And he then was tried and convicted. And they didn't have a body and he never admitted to it. But the explanation that they showed in court finally, that they finally busted him. the body washed up, I think, if I remember the story, right, partial body washed up. And that's when they eventually took him to trial.

But he had a whole other life. He married again. He had a couple of girlfriends. A couple other girlfriends thought, oh, no, this guy's too weird. Then he went to Vegas and he found another wife and they moved to Wyoming or something. And he spent all this time free after he murdered his first wife. And it was like 35 years ago. and they finally, and now they tried him, put him in prison.

And so he never admitted to it. They got him on the jury convicted him with the evidence that they had. And then I guess he has finally now, in talking to, and talking either to the parole board or he was talking to someone, then he admitted to actually killing her. So it's all better now. We know he actually admitted to it. Oh, oh, okay.

I sent this to myself just as an update because, you know, I also work a little bit with the Jackie Daily and the Jackie Daily show on the Blaze Podcast Network. Saudi Arabia says aiming for zero carbon emissions by 2060. I'm sure they'll get there. Don't worry. I know. Look, the kingdom, one of the world's biggest polluters, said it would join the global effort to cut methane emissions by 30.

30% by 2030. Saudi Arabia's target to reach net zero emissions by 2060 through its circular carbon economy approach. That's what Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salam, or Salman, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said in a recorded statement at the Saudi Green Initiative Forum. So that's good news coming from Saudi Arabia, because, man, do we want that? don't we? We have one story I sent to me, plain hair.

There's a picture of a lady with really long hair in an airplane, and the hair is hanging over the back of the seat. I don't know how much water or soda I would dip the hair into if it was hanging in front of me, but I would definitely accidentally pull on that when I pushed a head on my seat. Something had to have happened. And I'm guessing that it's real.

There's a picture there that went out and I said it was you know, there was no message of where the woman was headed or what plane she was on. It was just a picture of her in a plane and it was called plain hair. So it's really

interesting. I can't people are so rude sometimes in public like that. It seems like that. that really wouldn't happen. I feel like that maybe the woman in front knew the guy in back. So it was just kind of a bit, you know, where she puts her hair over the back of the seat like that.

And he snaps a picture and calls it plain hair. And, you know, they know each other. And it's not a real situation of that happening. But if it is, holy cow, that's, that's not good. And you'd have to, you'd have to dip it into something, right? You'd have to, you'd have to. You couldn't just let that stand or hang. You just couldn't.

Cargo force just won a $100 million postal service contract for Priority Mail. Congratulations to them. The U.S. Postal Service apparently is now adding 45 new facilities and 40,000 seasonal workers to handle peak shipping during the holidays. Well, I hope they find the employees to work. There's plenty of other places saying they've got thousands of job openings and they can't find the people to work. So hopefully the United States Postal Service will find those 40,000 jobs

that they're going to be listing. I know that what's going to happen, though, is we're pretty much going to go to robots, right? I mean, I just read a story that I sent to myself not long after that about Greece using robots in their postal service to boost speed. And they have these 55 small four-wheeled, autonomous mobile robots powered by AI, and they glide through the sorting center in Athens, and they speed up the process.

Now, according to this, up to 80% of the parcel sorting has been handed over to the robots. All right. and the process is up to three times faster. Okay. Now, according to Athens Postal Service or the Greece Postal Service, the purpose is not to replace human workers with robots, but rather to augment human workforces and make them more efficient.

Oh, okay, then. No problem then. You continue to use those robots then, okay? All right. good. And then I sent one Gabby and Brian I was just talking about Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie. Again,

they're calling for one forensic pathologist called where Brian's body was found odd. And then I heard a report somewhere that talked about how they said it was him with dental records, but another report is claiming

that the DNA was inconclusive. So is it really him? We'll see. We'll see. I mean, right now, everyone believes that it is, right? So, okay. If you believe that it's him, you go ahead and keep right on believing that.

Okay. And then I sent another, we'll add this up, I've got just, there's so many emails that I send to myself all the time. The, uh, what's her, video, Kathy Griffin, where she posted being naked, waving herself in front of the beach up on a patio,

and, you know, it was tagged with from her account saying, hello boys. And everyone was saying, oh, God, stop it. And I saw where Elijah was talking about what makes men turn gay. And then they were trying to say that it was carrot top in the, video, not Kathy Griffin. I think you can see in the video, though, although it's funny that it's carrot top, that you'd think it was carrot top. Pretty much you can see the jiggle of what could possibly be a female breast

underneath the arm when you can't, you know, and I don't think carrot top has that. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that carrot top doesn't have that type of breastage, you know, for the world to see. You can't quite make it out, but you kind of can. If you look at the video, and look, I'll play it for you right now, and you can see, go ahead, can you see? Oh, it's right there, right there. Just underneath that left armpit,

you can kind of see where it would be a non-carat-top chest. You see it. It's the matcha or the three ensemble of Cado, Cephora, of the fatt that I just need to deniches who energize all the same the form of

or in magazine So the New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Arden, when asked by a reporter if she was creating two classes of people by letting the vaccinated receive special privileges. What do you suppose her answer was? Well, you know what?

Here's the press conference. So you basically said this is going to be like, it's almost like, you probably don't see it like this, the two different classes. of people if you're vaccinated or if you're unvaccinated you have all these rights. If you are vaccinated. That is what it is. So, yep. Yep, that is what it is.

Yes, that's what it is. I mean, the press even tried to give her an out. It probably doesn't seem like this, but, you know, I just want to get it off. I mean, you're creating, you know, two classes of people. Yep, that is what it is. Oh, okay. So that's in New Zealand. Things happening here in D.C.

under this administration and President Joseph Robinette Biden, he admitted he has no near-term or long-term solution for high gas prices. He said it's going to be hard. Oh, no, no, it's not going to be too hard. President Biden has delayed release of the JFK assassination files until 2023 or nearly 2023. It's the COVID-19 pandemic. we can't release these files during the pandemic.

Not sure why, but apparently that's the case. We know now that President Biden has spent more time away from the White House than Donald Trump did in his first year. Huh, weird that we just saw that happening, but I guess now it's a fact since people actually looked into it. We also know now that COVID hospitalizations rise in the north and drop. in the South. Oh, I thought releasing those restrictions in the South was a death knell. But no, it doesn't appear to be the case. The DHS has admitted and it's shown in records that they are building a security fence around President Biden's beach home. Huh. So let me get this right. A border wall protecting the country doesn't work, but a border wall protecting his home does work. I wonder

wonder why they think they need to build a fence around the president's beach home. I wonder what they know is coming to fruition that we don't. Huh. Maybe because we're building two classes of people like they are in New Zealand and around the world. Yeah. I don't think that's it, though. Nah, never mind. I'm just talking off the top of my head.

I don't like to get into too much politics here on chewing the fat anyway. But there is finally a protest. I can get behind. Okay? Italy has a new national airline. ITA airways took to the skies last week, but all is not well. The former Alitalia flight attendants protested this week against job losses and pay cuts in a particular way that I think, I mean, we can all get behind it, right?

They protested at the center of power in Rome that's been there for about 2,000 years, and the square was designed by Michelangelo, and about 50 former flight attendants, female, turned up at the Alitalia, at the protest in their Alitalia uniforms, and then proceeded to stand and remove their clothing right down to their underwear chanting we are alitalia. Oh, okay. Well, that's cool.

I mean, that's a protest I can get behind. Now, apparently, and it actually is a pretty good cause when you read about what they're protesting. So of the 10,500 employees, 2,600 have received a job from the new ITA Airways. Oh, okay. And according to the new employees, it has not been the greatest deal for them. So apparently those who did get a job with the new airline have seen their seniority drop, received a pay cut, and are not told far enough in advance when they will work.

ITA president has said that all employees agreed on the terms of their contracts and the threats of a strike are a thing of national shame. So, yeah, man, any time you can get female flight attendants, former female flight attendants to strip down to their underwear, that is a shame. Isn't it? A real shame.
