Union Gone Wild

If private businesses had government in their pocket, they'd be allowed to be in charge of money creation, they'd recieve multi trillion dollor bailouts that the rest of society has to pay back, they'd have their people placed at the top of govenrment agencies that regulated their businesses, they'd have laws passed to suit their goals and hinder competition and would have legions of lobbyists chucking wheel barrows of cash at senators from their K street rat holes, oh wait.......

There fixed that for you.

I'm not pro or anti unions but they do create more strength/leverage than an individual could on his own, for good or bad.
 


These dumb union goons don't even realize RTW is better for them. It makes their unions more accountable to them. It makes businesses more likely to move back to Michigan.
 
Unions in general are one of the most damaging thing to an economy, but it's even worse when they become directly involved with organized crime, which is the case for many unions in America.

While sitting 13 hours on a bus, some years ago, I read an interesting book on 'the Mob' in the US and it was shown and proven how unions are directly owned and cooperating with the mafia in New Jersey and New York and probably elsewhere. Simply put, until recently, it was impossible to build anything in New York/New Yersey without a 10% cut to the mafia. If the gangsters didn't get their money, the union would simply strike.

These are the kind of people Obama is pandering too.
 
My adaptation is to stop caring about that world and worry about building a better one.

YMMV

You might be better than me as a person; I have no expectation of changing the world. Only myself. And, in the process, hopefully make a nice 'garden' for myself and mine (in the figurative sense of the word)
