    I still can’t get over the sheer naked hypocrisy of being pro small government, pro free market and Capitalist, but also anti-union.

    The whole point of a Union is that it’s the free market alternative to direct government intervention and regulation. If you’re both small-government capitalist and anti-union, what you actually are is pro-slavery.

      Any labor class person saying they’re against unions is a brainwashed idiot and their logic never makes sense. They just have it all so convoluted at this point that all their brains can do is go “UNION BAD” but they can’t say why

        Corporations run the numbers and conclude that investing $50M in professionally crafted anti-union propaganda deliver better shareholder return than giving $51M in pay rises.
