Cool story, bro.

Put another way. He doesn't have to quit his job to not be a hypocrite. He could simply admit the good that unions do (and which he benefits from) and not be a hypocrite that way, too.

Why is so hard to see that part of what makes the job appealing is the work the union has done over the years? It's not about remaining ideologically pure. It's about shitting on something (unions) that you have no problem benefitting from, when it works in your favor -but think is evil when only others are reaping…

I thought he was going to make it big as a plumber and didn't want to pay more in taxes once he was a millionaire. How'd that work out for you Joe?

I find it really, really hard to believe this happened

Next time on This Week In Bullshit!

Yeah but then he has to deal with the horror of "redistribution of wealth" to people who "work" instead of people whose financial advisors trade their stocks for them. That's not the America he came from/didn't come from/came from again.

Oh you mean there is some measure of compulsion in the american job market that doesn't make the employee and employer perfect little actors in the almighty free market system like I learned about in my first week of freshman econ before I dropped out cause math is hard? Well, fuck me!

If Ol' Joe actually turns around and admits he was full of shit about unions, I'll be the first to congratulate him. However, moronic right wing assholes like him never admit they were ever wrong about anything. So, no matter how much he benefits from his new gig, he'll likely still badmouth the UAW every chance he…

Oh, i wasn't calling you stupid. I was sort of underhandedly calling him stupid, by pointing out his own personal brand of cognitive dissonance and the reflected stupidity of all of the people who agree with him.

Those are his only two options? Ok

Yeah I thought he was going to buy a plumbing business and was worried on all the taxes he'd have to pay for his lucrative venture?

This. Isn't that the call of every conservative talking point? If you don't like it, FREE MARKET BABY, just find/get another job?

Why isn't he pulling himself up by his bootstraps?

He's not working "For Chrysler", he's working "For Himself" at a "Chrysler Plant" and being paid by "Chrysler".

"In order to work for Chrysler, you are required to join the Union."

LOL! This is sooo rich!

I'm no fan of lots of Union B.S. having been through it in the past. But I have seen what some of the people in Vegas go through and why in *some* cases they are in fact needed. And even more to the point there have been things in the past that I have been wrong about, and there will be more things in the future that…
