Just wanted to draw your attention to this remarkable man and his fight against a shitty big business that screwed and continues to screw its workers and the world in general.

Bernie Banton is an amazing fellow and what he has achieved I genuinely hope will not go unnoticed.

Rest easy Bernie. You are an inspiration to us all.
NOPE!!!

    I'd prefer it opened wallets. I can't help but worry that those bastards at Hardie will never pay up. AND that no government will ever force them to.
    But we'll wait and see I guess. There's no denying that the man did an amazing thing and I truly hope for his family's sake and for those other poor bastards that are slowing dying now that Hardie is made to take a hit where it will hurt them most.
    NOPE!!!

    Well apparently the money is there in the account set up. I just think we must be vigilant and make sure that it is paid in full. I think we owe Bernie that much.
    NOPE!!!
