When was it ever presented as was "your" problem?
You made a ham fisted general remark about union workers directly opposite of my experience. I responded.
Don't ride - well, that is your problem. Not mine. Drive a car? What kind of mileage do you get? My bike get 45 mpg. Seems when I ride the bike, I am saving energy over driving my car. Is that a good thing?
Many lives will be affected in major ways if these business' fold. Starve, maybe not. Have you given any thought to the impact? Any suggestions as to what firms might replace all those jobs?
Your fuel consumption for good or bad is not my concern.
American Union workers retain the image of slovenly, overpaid, and underworked employees. I did not by myself create this stigma. I believe there are well documented evaluations of this very type of behavior.
Furthermore the lives affected because of downsizing and automation are of no concern to me either. American business takes no pity on those who can't or will not adjust to change.
Finally as to those firms which might replace those jobs - well jobs are not like machine tools or computers, they are more like Bic Lighters, whereas they are needed for short periods, and the number of uses varies widely, but at some point they are no longer useful at all, and will need to be discarded.
I hope this short screed is of some useful purpose, and something is learned on your part. Have a nice day.
