Unemployment is under 5%.

Maybe if uneducated people without marketable skills had made better life choices, they could participate in the labor market instead of being takers and whining about lost coal mining jobs, lol.

And government assistance/involvement/overreach is about 100% ;)

Just keep on telling yourself that if your goal in life is to be poor.

This is probably where poorly informed working class men show incredible stupidity where their own self interest is informed by falling for the dumbest of double standards.

That it's ok for a companies management to unify and collectively negotiate what the market will bear for their good and services and your labor but it's socialism for labor to unify and do the same thing that management does. That it's ok for management to present a collective and unified front but you're supposed negotiate as an individual where management has a huge advantage over you.


The fact that the working class has been persuaded to concede a level playing field by the use of divisive social wedge issues is just beyond stupid. Then want to blame everyone but their selves for their declining fortunes and stagnate wages and lack of economic opportunity.

You're living in a world a half century ago. In a technology driven gig econony type of world we are more independent than ever. We are not going back to a time Trump wants with large number of people unionized and working in factories.

I may take advantage of the weak pound and make the slag heaps and disused slate quarries a tourist destination. I understand there's a welcome in the valleys.

No slag heaps here, kid, or slate quarries - but quite a passable river to kick you into.

I think you're wrong there. If we reach the point where enough people are uncomfortable then that can change. Beside, for us middle class white collar types, what do you think profession or technical licensing and certifications are about? No I'm firmly in the present. How labor will organize to meet market demands is the question and I sense more of that happening.
 
Workers should have the right to subject their owners to summary execution by a firing squad composed of the workers. They should have the right to look their slave driver in the eye and end their worthless life. This will be of great psychological benefit to the workers, to have the privilege of watching their tormentors die by their hands. One more parasite removed from society, makes society that much stronger.

Landlords should be subject to the same treatment from their tenants.

People don't come out where I live because they want to join a union. They do so because they want to "change the world" and maybe get rich in the meantime.
