NOBODY DOES THIS BETTER THAN WORKERS UNIONS.
I guess in theory you could claim they aren't evil despite destroying competition like drug cartels would do by getting the government to be their slaves as opposed to slaves of the people like intended.
So, are you suggesting that only crimes that produce an ACTUAL REAL-LIFE VICTIM should be enforced?
No more "driving while intoxicated" infractions?
NOBODY DOES THIS BETTER THAN WORKERS UNIONS.No, they catalyze outsourcing of those jobs. Protectionism makes it much more costly to outsource, so companies keep or create the high-paying jobs here
My goal is not to approach common ground but to teach and learn from you .
No more "driving while intoxicated" infractions?CorrectAlthough I certainly understand enforcing preventative laws where it is hard to track down the perpetrator. Such as banning shooting guns in the air on July 4th, just because a bullet that travels several blocks and lands on a girls head, would make it near impossible to actually track down who fired the bullet.
I find most laws that are intended to prevent harm are unethical, and on par with the actions taken by government I'm minority report.
But outsourcing is primarily for cheaper labor and unions want high wages,
What point are you trying to make?
"Sorry amazon Don't cancel my prime membership"
I seriously want to know because monopolies are bad and I want to pick an ideology that would eliminate the Amazon's of the world
I'm not entirely sure that social conservatism isn't viable politically,
but I know that the fiscal libertarianism definitely isn't viable.
Hispanics, the largest minority voting block, are quite religious and socially conservative overall. If the GOP would become a populist conservative workers party, I think they would keep all of the White vote they need while also gaining large portions of the Hispanic vote.
We operate more or less on a pendulum. The widespread degeneracy we are seeing is very likely to have a strong reaction as people can no longer stomach what our culture has become.
While Hollywood and the media do everything they can to make conservatism seem "uncool",
you have to realize that the GOP has never been the young person's party. It is the party of families, evident as most married people with kids vote for them.
But I certainly agree that the GOP has cast aside most of its socially conservative principles in what Patrick Buchanan more or less describes as a neocon insurgency. Neocons are free traders, social liberals, and war hawks that must be cast out of the party before it can once again become competitive nationally.
IFF) you imagine that "hollywood" has any agenda OTHER than "make as much $$$ as possible" (THEN) you're shockingly naive.
IFF) you imagine that "hollywood" has any agenda OTHER than "make as much $$$ as possible" (THEN) you're shockingly naive.That is perhaps one of the most accurate and meta takes of Hollywood I've seen for a while.Sure, there might be movie producers who actually want to be progressive, but the movie industry itself is really only letting that trend go through because it sells well in developed countries. (cough, except for China)
I worked in a grocery store and they paid me minimum wage because of the ufcw.
Yes. They took $10 a week when I got zero benefits and made exactly minimum wage. After I went to a non union job I got an automatic raise.
"employee benefits package"
I think that protectionism reduces the need for labor unions. We had both from early to mid 1900s.I’m fine with weaker unions if we have tariffs and quotas on imports, personally
"employee benefits package"If you had a choice between actual money or benefits you may or may not need....what would you choose?The fact employers can sell these benefits as an alternative compensation for your labor is proof that unions are bad at bargaining.
VERY CORPORATION ON PLANET EARTH IS MORE THAN HAPPY TO PAY A SOMEWHAT HIGHER BASE SALARY IF IT GIVES THEM THE FLEXIBILITY TO FIRE ANYONE AT ANY TIME FOR ANY REASON (OR NO-REASON AT ALL).
Most people are far more focused on short term $$$ and forget about their personal disaster recovery plan until it's way too late.
The number one reason people get fired is from problems stemming from a deeply held belief that they are way more productive than they actually are. These are the people that end up being subsidized by productive workers in a union instead of being justifiably fired.
