Anyone suggesting there is no role for unions in America today might first consider a fact of history: more than a century ago, when oligarchs and the companies they owned had treated workers as if they were livestock, reduced to living in squalid pens with rationed food and water, it was unions that organized these workers to resist. It was unions who gave these workers back their humanity, and negotiated collective bargaining agreements and laws that eliminated child labor, enforced workplace safety, established an 8-hour work day, paid overtime, health benefits, and retirement pensions.
Unions today operate in a very different America. But how Big Labor has adapted calls into question their commitment to helping all American workers have a chance at a middle class lifestyle. In critical areas affecting everyone trying to thrive in 21st century America, unions have betrayed the American worker. In particular, their failure to challenge the globalist agenda of open borders and environmentalist extremism has inverted their priorities, putting them into alignment with the corporations and oligarchs they once so nobly opposed. This betrayal is most exemplified in the agenda of unions that didn’t exist a century ago, America’s powerful unions of government employees.

This is so funny. I wondered if you would even say anything more. You don't need my respect. And I don't need yours.
Thanks for the business idea. Generous of you. I did't need it because I already have more than I can ever spend. Still, I refuse to compare money, status, homes, or dick lengths with you. Not my thing.
Go ahead and hate me. That's okay if that's what you need. I already made up my mind that I like you. Because you did SOMETHING. Do you have any idea how many times I've tried to get people to do something like go door-to-door and stump for a candidate? As you know, most people will pussy out and whimp out with a lame excuse like "I have to paint my kitchen cabinet doors..........." People are too afraid and self-centered. Any yes, my standards aren't too high to respect someone. Because most people DO ABSOLUTELY ZERO. Personally, if my community ends up like East Palestine, Ohio or Lahaina I want to be able to think that at least I spent 2% (or whatever) of my time, doing SOMETHING to make things a little better prior.
