    Union Membership and Inequality

    I never said all CEOs did a good job and that you could make one better by merely paying higher amounts to them. What I did say was that the best in the field are worth every penny they make. I suppose the best CEOs would opt to reinvest the extra 3 million dollars than to split it up between...

    Well I can hardly blame the British or Brazilian consumer for buying the Chinese import that was half the price as the American import.

    Union Membership and Inequality

    A part of this has to be blamed on the American consumer. Today in most cases and 30 years ago in all cases what ever product someone was buying they could find an import or a domestically made product to suit whatever their needs be. Americans time and time again chose to buy the creeper...

    The laws came after Unions had reduced influence.

    Union Membership and Inequality

    That sounds good but it really doesn't make a difference. A large company has 1 CEO and thousands of employees. A good CEO is worth every penny. They're not all good. Some suck and they still get that huge check. But a good one can make decisions that make the company a lot of money. How much...

    White people, particularly men:

    I think of AC as UB's squior. Civil conversation isn't in their nature. Though AC is ever so slightly more inclined toward a conversation. What these men, and for them I use that word loosely, what they practice is the art of slander. They know on most issues that their gut emotional...

    Union Membership and Inequality

    Are you better off with a $30/hr job or a $50/hr job where the company is looking for land next to a sea port in Asia?

    Union Membership and Inequality

    Tell that to your union brothers without a job to go to these days. Do you think out steel industry could have been more able to respond to a changing market if it could have renegotiated the contract? 30 bucks an hour looks bad compared to 50, but it's a hell of a lot better than 12 down the...

    I never said trump was pro union. I said he will give the unions factories and other places to unionize. Unions didnt get weak because of laws. They got weak because their jobs were exported.

    Union Membership and Inequality

    I would believe that the union has a more objective and truthful message, company anti union messages are not known for being transparent and fully honest. I give the edge to the union in that regard. But both of them will gloss over the negatives. And there are negatives to unionization...

    The company has time for propaganda and so does the union. Its an important decision and shouldn't be made so quickly.

    Union Membership and Inequality

    By the way, I didn't say Trump was pro union. What I said was if trump had his way and his plan came to fruition the unions would have workers to unionize. It isnt that the unions went away, its that the places that employeed unions went away. Trump at least will try to bring those back.

    Union Membership and Inequality

    I didn't say it was good or bad. I just said it was, you are free to make whatever value judgment you want. The steel workers union could support things that would not help the truck drivers union, for instance. The unions are out to benefit themselves and their members. Nothing more. I'm...

    Union Membership and Inequality

    There has always been, and will always be special interest. What is a union if not a special interest group? Aye, they're not lobbying for the owners and top management, but they're a special interest group just the same. Things are cyclical. Working conditions used to be rotten aweful. Unions...

    why aren't black people more grateful to whites for slavery?

    why aren't black people more grateful to whites for slavery?

    Ironic. She said someone had said that exact same thing the previous semsester.

    Roots, the old miniseries redone.

    Bullshit. That's been your clever little line here lately. You've told several people to film themselves saying something to black people. You didn't realize until now that your implication was racist as fuck. You're basically saying, yeah go say that to black people, they're so savage they'll...

    Roots, the old miniseries redone.

    The production and acting are better in the new one. Even some of the characters are more realistic or likable. But the old one is a better story. The new one has too much fluff added to make whites look worse or to make the black viewer feel good.

    Roots, the old miniseries redone.

    You said you would pay me to film myself explaining what I said earlier to black people and putting it on YouTube. The obvious implication is that I don't have the balls to tell that to black people. Why would that be the case, how could I be apprehensive about explaining something to black...

    I love the list of three that you put up. That stupid question people ask about who would you like to have dinner with.... I would have to choose Hitchens, and I would add Thomas Jefferson to help entice him to come. But reading or listening to these men is confirmation bias. We sharpen our...
