Fire the unions! Why should we allow our public “servants” to organize against us? They’re robbing us blind!!
Can bankruptcy shake them off?
And is there some way to move FR’s servers to, say, Nevada? So when the Great Riot happens, we do not go off the air?
During the peak of the gas prices last year, I saw this: Guy pulls into the gas pump aisle next to me with a new long and huge bus-type camper towing a beautiful ski-boat-yacht.
He gets out and starts operating both pumps. One for the boat the other for his rig.
He turns and faces me and he's wearing a dark tee-shirt with a fire department logo and large letters "LAFD."
And just below that was one more line, a little smaller, "retired"
Just once, I would like someone to explicate the reasoning, if any, behind the distinction being made by the political class between public sector unions and garden-variety criminal conspiracies against the taxpayer.
These organizations have no redeeming societal features, whatsoever - unless one counts as a social benefit that the lowest sort of characters are attracted to these sinecures, and the better sort of person can therefore mostly avoid them by avoiding government offices as much as possible.
There's something to that, I reckon.
Interesting concept.
When Mitch Daniels took over as Gov in Indiana 4 yrs ago, his first order of business was to de-unionize the state employees who had been organized into the UAW with the help of former Gov Evan Bayh.
