Hmmm.  I don't see anything about the parties running the show, ramrodding candidates down the throats of an unwilling populace.

Very well put,see the fix is in not too much of a stretch you just phrased it differently - you get a Yuengling

take it up with Mr. Rock

Flight into terrain.

I grew up in a union family as my dad was an electrician for local 524 out of Galveston

so I have a soft spot in my heart for unions

the only thing Id like to see is all municipal and teachers unions be abolished

LMFAO

I've wondered about this, I would legalize them all.  You could go to clinics and get your drug du jour for free, or at low cost to undercut the black market.  If you made some profit, it would go to drug prevention and rehab.  Fentanyl, I'd say no, because it is so dangerous, and folks can get their high on normal opiods without, it's used to "cut" opiods in effect.  The idea is to cut the legs out of the profit motive for gangs, what else would they do these days?

And yes, some people would OD and some would live horrible lives.  Which is no change.  Each person could get a card with their name and photo and they could access whatever drugs they wanted in dosed amounts.  The drugs would be "pure", no fentanyl, nothing used to cut stuff to make it more powerful and lethal.  You want cocaine?  Here ya go.  In Philadelphia, it's worth fifty bucks.

No gangs now, or at least smaller less powerful gangs.

I would be fine with that as long as we stipulated that once you go down that path, you are on your own. Don't come and beg for government assistance because you can't feed yourself or put a roof over your head. Also, anyone wishing to go down that path should be sterilized as to not bring children into their upcoming hell. Children should never have to live through such an ordeal. 

SFBadge explained the importance of Unions and why they are needed brilliantly.  You should really hear that reasoning out.

Public sector Unions are just as important, especially the safety related Unions.  Ensuring quality service is always a priority.  In that regard, they are ensuring that your tax money is being spent toward a better quality service.

As far as calling Unions "immoral", "past their prime", and "protect the lazy", you are being told lies and exaggerations.  The people in power are feeding you those thoughts through your news sources in an attempt to gut Unions.

Nobody in power is feeding me anything. What I know about unions, I have learned for myself. I agree that unions were essential and getting many of the labor laws passed that we enjoy today. I believe I acknowledged that in a previous post. 

However, now that those laws are in place, the needs for the unions have pretty much been diminished. 

To the point of "ensuring that your tax money is being spent toward a better quality service", I don't buy that argument at all. Unions do nothing that does not benefit the union, period. If there is any relation to providing a better service, it is pure coincidence. The unions exist to exist. They bring nothing to the table in regards to process improvement or quality of service. All they do is work to inflate the work force to increase their dues. Nothing more.

I can tell stories for days about union actions that were done with a member of my family involved in one way or another. From protecting alcoholic workers ON THE JOB, to making such ridiculous rules that prevented people from driving their own vehicles on a job site simply to ensure that a teamster member could sit and wait for someone to show up to drive their truck 50 feet.
