I heard from a trusted union leader and she told me that there was a site where one could send money for pizzas that would be delivered to the striking teachers of West Virginia. Teachers in the state are among the lowest paid in the nation.
Stand with them.
I am sending pizzas. I hope you will join me.
Here is the site.

If I were them I would prefer hard cash.

Send cash then.
My guess is that you will send nothing.

I did not intend to send anything. I said that if I were on the receiving end I would prefer cash to pizza.

John Doe, fortunately you can donate to the strike fund, which is cash.
Let me know if you did that.

So you are sending teachers a food that’ll clog their arteries and make them fat with no food value? Carbs, fat and processed meats.

Alpha,
I hope you are joking. I love pizza. Glad to help those teachers on the picket line.

The health value of pizza depends. Is it New York or Chicago pizza?

My guess: West Virginia pizza.
Maybe some New York pizza makers moved there.
Who knows?

I didn’t know they had pizza in West Virginia. We don’t have any pizza here in California, just pizza flavored tofu on sprout salad.

I’m sorry, Diane, that I am not always clear about when I am trying to lighten the mood with sacrasticalism. Oops, there I go again.

Doesn’t have to have processed meats. You can order them a vegetarian pizza!

I’ve been on strike and know what it is like. We just sent cash via Go Fund Me. These are our brothers and sisters and deserve all the help we can give them. On my first strike we were able to get food stamps, the Reagen came along. Some think he was the greatest. Of course, he was better than Trump, but just as anti worker. Remember the traffic controllers. The WV legislators should cut their own salaries to pay the WV teachers a fair salary. Thanks for letting us know about this, Diane.
