Because it is a cartoon not supported by facts

Jobs are created by demand. So do poor people buy the $50,000 new SUVs being churned out by Detroit? Do poor people buy new $1,000,000 homes? Do poor people go on vacations, fly on airlines, visit theme parks, go to the symphony, eat at fancy restaurants, or use the products or create the demand for any number of…

I am not rich. I would not be affected by this tax because I don’t make over 1ook, much less 500K and I don’t live in NY. However, why should people be penalized just because they are rich? Most people who are rich worked hard and took risk to get there. They already pay the majority of the income taxes. Also, rich…

Anyone living better than me is rich, anyone less is poor.

Typical dishonest journalism.

that’s mostly my experience. when i was looking to become an electrician 5 years ago, they were hiring apprentices, and then laying them off after they did the 4 years of school to be at the journeyman level pay. they wanted workers, but not at the higher scale that being a journeyman required the companies to pay.…

In Philly, using non-union tradesmen can get your quaker meetinghouse vandalized beyond repair, your building project burned down, or your knee caps broken. All so you can use sub-standard workers at five times the price.

I grew up in Flint. Uncles and aunts worked for GM - so obviously they were UAW. I remember my uncles staying at home sleeping all day while their buddies clocked them in and out. It took a couple years, but GM finally caught on to this, so then they started a massive crackdown in plants to make sure those workers…

You’re on point with this. Also, it provides an asylum for underperforming employees. Not the ones that genuinely need help to catch up to speed, but the ones that think they can fuck off and get away with it. The result is shitty products that can’t compete, but you are still bound by union contract, so you can’t…

I was told by a union electrician that if I wanted to get laid off every six months, join the union. Otherwise run as far as I could.

Wow, a powerful message. Until you look at the axes and realize it’s manipulated BS.

So much this, it is unfortunate. As for the 300MM project, the union bosses still made their money. Off the backs of those who didn’t.

UAW calling out Nissan for using scare tactics to discourage unionization.. are you kidding me?

If unions destroy companies, it is because workers don’t want to run their own unions and allow professional profiteers and scammers run them. Too many union workers have a passive relationship with their union, expecting it to do everything for them, while they just show up for work and pay dues. You have to…

The UAW have themselves to blame. They have created a “Us vs Them” mentality between auto works and manufacturers over the years. The “I’ll take this company down if they don’t give me what I want” mentality is so ingrained in the UAW membership, why on Earth would any auto manufacturer want them? Why did the lose…

I think if you go with a really tasteful musical style (modern jazz, neoclassicism strings) by a small specialist ensemble of just a few musicians, a band is amazing.

Somebody to Love or Crazy Little Thing Called Love are much more fun. Bohemian Rhapsody is an invitation for people to act out Wayne’s World.

Who the hell bans Queen from their wedding? (Bohemian Rhapsody is tied at #34 on the Five Thirty Eight list)

Missing: Black Eyed Peas “I Gotta Feeling”

Definitely a future classic. I remember seeing one in Dearborn prior to its release, and thought that it was absolutely beautiful.
