In blow to freedom, Democrats in Michigan repeal Right-to-work

Gallego will win.

He should, but it will take a perfect campaign. He will need at least half of the Independent vote.

It won't be easy but can be done. It will take time and money to get the real facts out but the advantage with the left is they can deal with issues with the truth , The right can't.

The real obstacle is simple. Prices will have to double when manufacturing comes back here, but more Americans will have good paying jobs. Many will go off of public assistance, which will also help.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

Why do you ignore history?

Like? I've been pretty consistent in providing historical examples to show when it comes to legal protections of workers, unions have pretty consistently done little or nothing for them.

You always seem to think that you prove your point, but most often you don't.

So you think sweat shops disappeared because employers suddenly became benevolent?

Manufacturing will instead become increasingly automated. The kind of factory jobs common up through the 50's and 60's are gone.

Manufacturing may return to America, but the jobs that go with that won't. They are gone either way.

Agree. Not everything can be made by machines, though.

Double? Do you think salaries are over half the costs of running a business? The guideline is 15 to 20 percent of costs are wages. The wages in China are not zero. The change would not be that big.

In this nation $20-$25 is barely a living wage. Even so, That wage is more than double what is paid in China. Add FICA, workman's comp, and health insurance.

A $25 pair of Chinese jeans will be $50 or more, which is what jeans SHOULD cost.

The Dumbed-Down Are Incapable of Seeing the Other Side of the Equation

Breaking a union is for laissez-fairies who want to loaf and rake in easy money.

The fact that you use "people that" instead of "people who" indicates that you see others as inanimate objects.

just union members that can't even fog a cold glass of water

Apprentices and College Students Must Be Paid More Than They Can Expect From Any Other Job

Apprentices and College Students Must Be Paid More Than They Can Expect From Any Other Job

that all depends on the individual.

thats insane.

 

[LV426]

It is. If you are forced to join the union, and the union rules are you can't work any job that isn't union including side work for yourself, then the union is screwing its members. Or, if the union goes by seniority and there are less jobs than members, you could find yourself out of work and unable to work outside the union in lieu of a union job. Again, you get screwed by the union.

This cuts both ways, so don't blame one side without blaming the other.

It's freedom for the worker to be fired at will?

habituation to human slavery doesn't make it morally ok.

co2 is not a pollutant, but real pollutants do exist, that's why.

Nature Is a Crime Against Humanity

Not if you superstitiously believe that any particle that only appeared in the air the last 200 years is a "pollutant," as a sacrilege against Mother Nature. The creed that Nature is supernatural is a contradiction in terms. Natural air, which the enemies of human progress call "Clean Air," is full of killer viruses and bacteria, which "pollution" kills off. The Spanish Influenza, the only great plague that didn't come back again and again, was eliminated once auto-emissions reached an antiseptic level.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

I don't know what you're trying to say here. However, it's a known fact that the wealth divide is growing. CEO pay has skyrocketed 1,460% since 1978. We live in a society where useless jobs earn someone a higher salary than useful jobs. A worker used to be able to raise a family on one salary. Now this requires two salaries. Our late-stage capitalist society is crumbling and people like you enjoy groveling for the diminishing crumbs left behind by the wealthy.

France Shouldn't Have Given Us the Much-Abused Statue of Liberty; They Should Have Given Us Their Guillotines

Until you recognize the societal cancer of inheritance, you're letting the most toxic clique continue eroding the nation.

France Shouldn't Have Given Us the Much-Abused Statue of Liberty; They Should Have Given Us Their Guillotines

Until you recognize the societal cancer of inheritance, you're letting the most toxic clique continue eroding the nation.

The real cancer is a massive government. After all, what you're saying is that rather than let the heirs of someone get the wealth of their family's earlier generations, it should go to the state (government). Aside from that, there's always ways around the government getting it in any case. Inheritance is one way for a family over generations to build wealth. Without it, the only place that sees wealth grow is government who fritters it away on nonsense.

Loyal Serfs Are As UnAmerican As Can Be

You allow it for the Fatcats' fatkittens living off a fat allowance, preppylover. College is designed only for the heiristocracy; the rest of the students are teenagers working without pay because they are afraid to grow up. Neither group deserves to be in college, so it must be replaced by highly paid professional training.

A semantic proof that this is an obsolete aristocratic institution is that Prep School means "prepare for college." In other words, if you want to go to college without losing your manhood, become a richkid.
