Travel Post III: The SuperShuttle Strike! It is so on

I went to Dulles on a SuperShuttle van and I came home on a SuperShuttle van. I learned more about Nigerian politics and why one should never invest in a SuperShuttle franchise than I ever wanted to know. I can tell you this: The SuperShuttle drivers are mad. It's not just the one driver who had no one else in his van and only received 36 dollars for driving for two hours and then has to pay $600 a month just to have "SuperShuttle" on his van and was bringing in something like 1500 a month. It's all of them. They're sick and tired of being treated this way. So, they've called a strike. Better forward this information to all of your friends and family who will be visiting the DC area starting June 21st. Make it an annoying forward. Make sure everyone knows about it. June 21st. We strike! SuperShuttle Drivers, now is the morning of the rest of your lives! Throw off the shackles that bind you! Defeat the profit-hungry CEO of SuperShuttle who is lolling around on his bed plucking the meat off of a fat chicken with his sausage fingers and making merry with his cheap wine from the hills of West Virginia! You will not go quietly into the night!
