Amazing

I would rather be forced to tend to a flock of geese all summer long, in shorts, than go to a car show containing predominantly PT Cruisers.

My brother’s friend has a PT Cruiser. It has broken down in my yard twice, forcing me to fix it to make it go away. This is the only time that I would ever consider touching a PT Cruiser to be an acceptable thing for a person to do.

Can you imagine how many calls they get about cyber related incidents, in Florida, where the average resident age is ~86?

You’re an idiot

1960-1975, under $2000. The most dangerous search criteria known to man

Man, that guy had the same idea as me!

Now a Ford I-6 really WILL make it through a global apocalypse!!!!

“panhandling in the turns” Thanks for coffee everywhere.

Because the analogy by user token_liberal was that of a supplier dependent on a manufacturer. That is where the word “SUPPLIER” was first used. That is what I had responded to, and then you responded to me. Perhaps the chain of comments was unclear?

I don’t understand what you think is a goalpost move. A labor supplier can only have one egg in one basket, if we are going to continue with this analogy and if that is what you wanted to address directly... As a labor supplier, I want my egg to be as shiny and useful as possible, so if I don’t like the basket it is

If the solution is that workers can just find another job...again I ask, why pay union dues? Why does the Union exist if we have labor laws to cover everything that the Union came into existence for? I understand the historical significance of Unions, but I don’t see a place for them in modern America. Just my $0.02,

No, I’m suggesting the union is more like a supplier who has gotten away with legal price fixing instead of finding a better paying customer elsewhere.

No, and if you read up, that wasn’t the relationship that was being discussed.

I’ve done both of those things. I didn’t want to bash the people that work in a union..... I don’t like unions themselves and I think they offer more negatives than positives. Some people are perfectly happy working in a union and they get better pay than they would on their own because their voice isn’t very loud or

One where I don’t pay dues

So, you think you get the pleasure of the same experience, except in one you pay dues?....if that IS accurate, why would you ever join a union?!

What happens when you want to move up in a union shop, but you/your talents don’t fit into the predefined pay structure they’ve negotiated? Or what happens when it starts bumping up against older tenured employees?

“Workers who would otherwise be at the whim of their employer..”

If a supplier is dependent on a single customer or contract, then they better diversify their business. I’m a supplier. I don’t put all my eggs in one basket. I also don’t like the Union culture. It encourages complacency and dependency in individuals instead of innovation.
