Unions aren't the problem.
Was it unions that came up with the idea of allowing cops to take people's money and property (and keep it) without any charges filed?
Is it unions that financially incentivize police departments to go after petty drug crimes as opposed to dealing with actual criminals?
Is it unions that arm our police officers like the fucking military?
Is it unions that make the call not to prosecute cops when they kill unarmed civilians?
Unions aren't perfect, but to blame them for what we're seeing lately is really missing the mark.
No thats not the unions fault, its the PEOPLE"S fault, they are the ones who voted how they did in the past, they are the ones who wanted tougher laws and longer jail sentences. That hero Ronald Reagan and then the first Bush, they have much to blame, IMO. RR was all against unions, hes the one that fired all the air traffic controllers thinking that anybody could run an airport. The people all cheered RR, he was their hero, how dare those airport workers ask for a pay raise and go on strike if they did not get one.
Too bad RR did not live to see 9/11 and 4 planes being hijacked at the same time. No airplane cockpit doors had locks on the doors back then, we thought that was a waste of money, nah, forget investing in the airports and spending millions/billions to upgrade them to be hijack proof. RR told us government and regulations was the problem..then after 9/11, countless billions were spent on the airports and borders after the damage was already done.
Even today, few people besides me blames RR for 9/11. Nope, it was all the bad guys fault, even thou the bad guys told us for many years that they would bring those towers down one day, it was nobodies fault but them. NYC even built a billion dollar command post right near the towers just in case something happen to them, too bad that center was built so close to the towers it was destroy when the towers felled down..that was so dumb and a waste of money yet the people who planed the command center never got blamed for their mistakes..it all got swept under the rug and forgotten about
RR also gave us crack cocaine and AIDS, well that all happen under his term. RR thought at first only gays got AIDS so, no worries until AIDS was totally out of control, only then RR decided, hey maybe the US should spend some money to help fight AIDS.
Yeah I know, that Bill guy who could not keep his pants on while president wasn't no hero either, same with Carter, Ford, Nixon..maybe it all goes back to when JFK was killed, maybe thats when things stared the slow ride down hill..then again, maybe it was WWII, that freaken Hitler guy was total evil. Maybe hes the one to blame..yeah nobody blames Hitler, he lived too long ago yet look at all the damage he did and he likely changed how people looked at the world. It might have been him that causes the arm race between the US and Russia..yeah nobody blames Hitler but thats when the quest for more powerful bombs started.
Maybe its is all Hitlers fault...hes the one who got people to want more weapons to protect themselves. With more guns, came more crime and then came tougher laws and now an out of control police force//lets blame Hitler for it !!
