NYC Transit workers should be fired 870Cyrus Afzali The people inside that "union bubble" are disbuttociated (not merely disconnected, but willfully separating themselves) from reality. You are right about the "family" issue, as well...
Johnny No. It started with the recovery of our former enemies (buttisted by us, by the way) after World War II. And now other nations in the world have advanced beyond the most primitive levels. As they develop, they become compebreastors with us. This is not a surprise at all. NYC Transit workers should be fired 869Dave Simpson We could all still be living in our big bubble. What caused it to start shrinking? It probably started with the 1965 immigration act, but when we really began to notice... The bubble that some idiots still live in is the long-outmoded condition where we had no compebreastion, and leading organizations and unions had a captive market and faced government friendly to liberal politics and policies. With a larger market for everything, including labor, and greater supply as well as demand, everything is subject to repricing. The artificiality and interventionism and worse accompanying the old, long-obsolescent welfare-state or "social contract" model, be it about government or paternalistic, oversized legacy firms, is long gone as a serious model for today. Even without foreign compebreastion, the old model of around 1950-1970 is obsolete. Foreign automakers BASED HERE IN THE USA do not subscribe to this model, and they and their employees are thriving. It has little to do with 1965 and replacement of cherry-picking (which is my preference as a policy this nation, as does others, should follow with immigration) or a points system, etc., with "family reunification" as immigration policy, and is even distinct, easily distinct, from widespread illegal immigration (not conducted according to 1965's changed policy) and downward pressure on wages and exploitation by employers.
