A fellow union member shows his solidarity.

I'll never understand that logic... No, your father is horribly underpaid and instead of joining forces with the unions to get better working conditions and wages, we're gonna shit on them so we have no leg left to stand on.

Brilliant

It’s easier to punch down than punch up.

brax@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 1y

Yes, but in this case they are punching up - just not high enough.

The elk believes in fair labor. Based elk.

If you ever want to see an Elk close up I would definitely recommend visiting Estes Park during Rutt (spelling?) season.

Lived in Denver for a couple years and my wife and I would always drive up there to see them!

Glad to see the Elk showing solidarity!

Wouldn't it be dangerous to view them in seasons where they are hormonal?

Only if you get close enough that one can charge you. Otherwise it's a good time to see them all put in the open and mashing antlers.

Yeah they've kinda learned that they are safe in Rocky Mountain National Park and in Estes so they're chill. Still wild animals though and I wouldn't really wanna be that close to one like in the picture.

You’d think that guy could have brought the elk a sign too

Judging by the resigned look on his face, he tried but was rebuffed.

Maybe he's shy

Everyone has to do their part

That's where members of the Elks Lodge sit obviously.

The Elk is probably thinking it finally met some sensible humans who know how to take a minute to sit and look around.
