  • Customers get shoddy work because senior union employees can't be fired. Our public school system is a classic case here.
  • Good employees see their wages diverted to senior union employees regardless of the latter's competence.
Your every political belief centers around forcibly transferring wealth from the intelligent, hard working, and healthy to the dumb, lazy, and sick. It's a great way to create a nation of welfare bums. If you hate America so much, leave!

Speaking of health, I see you are switching topics from healthcare. I could be wrong, but I believe Draconite's video mentioned that such tactics are trademarked by the Alt-Right.
this is 100% accurate. Anyone who has worked with unions or is close to people who are members understand that unions have significant problems.

1. they monopolize labor, increasing unemployment
2. they create inflation by lowering productivity, uniformly increasing pay and retarding operations.

I'm going abstain from trolling in this post because I think you legitimately just don't understand free market economics.

The fact that you want the government to enforce their illegality stands in stark contrast to your ideology.
The free market cannot function in the absence of competition. I want to see the capitalist monopolies like Amazon, Google, and Facebook broken up. I want to see employee unions broken up for the same reason. There is no inconsistency here.

If a union uses monopoly bargaining power to increase wages, than that company will have lower or negative profits, lose capital investment, and eventually go bankrupt to competitors that don't have unions, at which point the workers must either take huge pay cuts or find new jobs. For example, GM went through Ch11 in 2009 due to huge pension obligations to UAW. Within the next 10 years, multiple US states led by IL and NJ will be forced to declare bankrupcty, and all of their public employee pensions will be drastically slashed.

TLDR: Unions do not create wealth. Put down your copy of Das Kapital.

And today's Trump Keeps Winning news:

Trump administration will likely define gender as your birth sex. It was basically this or overturn Title IX.

Even the Toyota Center wasn't big enough so they are going to have a 100,000 person tailgate party outside, with food trucks and projection screens to see Trump's speech.

The FDIC under Obama threatened banks that lent to completely legal businesses Obama didn't like, like ammunition shops and payday lenders.

Really, everyone should vote for Trump and the GOP. If you are a normal k-selected person, then you'll support just about everything he does. If you are a rabbit, then you can't be happy about the transgender type stuff but you have to recognize that government corruption is our single biggest problem right now and the faster we get that under control the faster we return to the times of abundance your epigenetics are optimized for. This is exactly what is happening in Italy, where the current government is an alliance between the rabbit 5-star party which wants universal basic income and other handouts and the wolf League which just wants to kill all the migrants.

Define gender by E or T dominance, dummies. You can limit genders to two and sanity and still be inclusive enough. I really don't care if you oppress nb larpers

Nobody thinks in terms of blood chemistry on this because no-one is pharmacologically aware. And nobody on left makes this argument, which is wholly sane, because it tramples NBs and other identity-players (attackhelicopters) who are liberalist fellow-travelers. And because we trannies consented to use the lie "I was born a woman" instead of asserting our right to choose...

The fact is that even in sane conservative world I'm really not male tho, lol. Nobody E-dominant for a year is male. Estrogen is a real thing. And it settles the bathroom question definitively, objectively.

I miss my daddy and want him back.

Eh there's always exceptions. Someone with AIS could have a lot of blood T and end up looking completely like someone E-dominant

That's an interesting exception. Butt could be worked around if an efficacy ratio abstraction thingy were developed and applied.
