I am very bitter to unions in general.
all I hear from the one union acquaintance that I have left is how we need tariffs to protect the American jobs.
Unf*cking believable.
When I point out that it was the unions that drove those companies out of business, he starts to argue, but stops.
I was a steelworker back in the day when America still had an industrial base, and I just remind him that those industries existed long before the union crime families moved in.
And they would still be here today if there were no unions.
Hell, I liked my job.

I like the idea of Tarriffs, not for protectionism, but for revenue. Get rid of Income Tax, and go to import and export tarriffs.

Didn't we have even more industries BEFORE the unions held them hostage. Especially the steel industry.

I am very bitter to unions in general. Yeah, I know what you mean. There are many truths that union people cannot speak or hear.
