LOL scumbags going after loose talk by mostly drunk teachers on background music of 'girls gone wild' is nothing but union busting propaganda. It'd be like me campaigning against all members of your profession for the racist garbage you spew in these pages.

that just about the level of response I expect from you

You car and gas, your gear and yourself for $8.50 an hour to be in "a drama about a team of thieves, hackers and grifters who act as modern-day Robin Hoods"? LOLZ

Check out Nitrox carrying water for that neo-fascist O'Keefe and his smear campaign against teacher's union . Is anybody really surprised ...

"What Gov. Walker Won’t Tell You by Stanley Kutler There is a kernel of truth in Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s claim of a “budget shortfall” of $137 million. But Walker, a Republican, failed to tell the state that less than two weeks into his term as governor, he, with his swollen Republican majorities in the Wisconsin Legislature, pushed through $117 million in tax breaks for business allies of the GOP. There is your crisis. The state Legislature’s Legislative Fiscal Bureau—Wisconsin’s equivalent of the Congressional Budget Office and a refuge for professional expertise and nonpartisanship—warned Walker and the Legislature that the measure would create a budget gap. There is your shortfall—and not one resulting from established public employee benefits. Before the tax giveaways, the fiscal agency predicted a surplus for the state. Now the governor has offered a proposal simple and clear in its intent, and patently dishonest. Walker wants state workers to contribute to their pension fund and is calling for an increase in their payments for medical insurance. Make no mistake: The governor’s “budget repair bill” has little to do with a budget shortfall and everything to do with breaking unions, starting with public employees and then perhaps moving on to others as well. During his run for governor, Walker had substantial financial support from the Koch brothers, billionaire industrialists who have funded various anti-Obama, anti-science, and anti-national government movements. In short, they are opposed to anyone and anything that might diminish their exorbitant profits. And for the Kochs, destroying labor unions is in the top tier of their to-get-rid-of list." What Gov. Walker Won’t Tell You

as if the relative wages of corporate management had anything to do with how much they contribute to whatever their company is selling. You are seriously deluded.

the teachers' union didn't argue for MBAs (or similar) to be paid several times what many PhDs in Physics make, free-marketeers did. In Sweden, anyone who'd argue to take away bargaining rights from employees would be considered to have something in common with Adolf!

QUICK BUILD A WALL TO PREVENT BANTUSTANS IN SO-CAL! ONE WALL TO PREEMPT THEIR WALLS AROUND US!

I never implied what you suggest. It's just that accounting for Jewish immigration before ww2 paints a very different picture than just saying Jews and Arabs lived happily in Palestine until Arabs refused to divide up Palestine. What happened there is a little like if Californian Chicanos decided to secede and eventually put all Anglos in Bantustans.

right, the Zionist movement came up with that idea.

You are forgetting the issue of Jewish immigration to Palestine due to persecution of Jews in western countries. Several 100,000s Jews immigrated to Palestine between the fall of the Ottoman empire and ww2. Before mass immigration, in the early 1920's, there were a few 10000s Jews for 1/2 million Palestinians Arabs in the area. This is an important 'detail' as it shows how much the formation of Israel resulted from colonization of Arab land.

So...why aren't the folks at Microsoft, who also lack collective bargaining privileges also working for Walmart wages? Ditto for everyone else in the private labor market that earn higher total compensation than Walmart offers its retail employees, which are higher than the retail average. If collective bargaining is what determines wages rates, why isn't the pay for the store manager the same as the greeter's? Straw man. Nobody claimed that collective bargaining was the only variable affecting pay rate.

check out Walmart, the no-collective bargaining employment model of the future, and you'll see the nightmare scenario.

grass fed beef (GFB) demands much more prairie space, which questions whether there would be enough land to feed everyone GFB even at 3 oz per serving. In some ways, GFB is possible because most cattle is raised in feedlots. There are other issues like methane emissions, ... The sustainable alternative are insects of course.

if you actually remembered the article, you'd know about that part: "Deutsch said that a bias against the jobless is also a time-saving device for companies that may themselves be making do with less, thanks to the downturn. "If you've got a huge stack of submissions, and you want to get through them quickly, [you can say] 'OK, all the people who are not currently employed, forget them,' " Deutsch explained. "That's gonna cut down on your workload" i.e. according to that guy your talking point is bunk and nothing more than a way for firms to not disburse the expense necessary to weed out tons of applicants when there are very few jobs anyway. Sheesh!

Planned parenthood pays for itself many times over by allowing people to have children when they can afford it, instead of having more people dragged into poverty and a situation of needing help from the community.

You do remember the article from the first post in this thread don't you? Don't take my word, go back and reread the first page. Quit dodging! I don't need to re-read it to know there aren't millions of jobs available for the millions of unemployed or that nobody in it claimed that getting a job flipping burgers or picking fruit would help to secure a job demanding vast experience.

No, more like fuck off to Somalia where you won't be able to leech your way off having a workforce educated on the public dime and business opportunities afforded by publicly funded infrastructure.

I personally know a bunch of people who got laid off and took at least a year to find another job because of extended unemployment. While I'm sure there are areas that there just isn't work to be found that is not the case for the entire country, especially the Pacific Northwest. I haven't been unemployed a day in my adult life even though I've been laid off. Just because someone is unemployed doesn't mean they're lazy but 12 solid months of unemployment is a strong indicator that there may be a problem with the person. More anecdotal evidence but still no trace of the millions of jobs that would be needed to employ the millions of long term unemployed. I hope your job doesn't require more than fuzzy thinking. I am not sure how much experience you have in your profession but taking a menial and likely temporary job isn't the answer to being rehired in a position consistent with professional experience.

I'd be afraid to skin up a cat-track, but that may have to do with how difficult it is to ski well a cat track at high speed (often hard and narrow) and the 2 members of my family who suffered serious bone breaks by out of control skiers in the last 20 years.

so where are the many millions jobs that need to be created to re-employ all the long-term unemployed? Myth making about the laziness of the unemployed is more evidence of your belonging to the social Darwinist party.

More historical denialism from Laissez Faire boy: public workers without collective bargaining rights were systematically fired when they tried to improve their conditions by demonstrating, striking, etc .. it's well known that pay scale, working conditions, etc... in non-union, "right-to-work" states is conditioned by working conditions in neighboring states where workers have collective bargaining. Dickensian squalor already exists in many industries where collective bargaining is denied.

I whimpered and hang dogged it to death the first time around but it never felt much easier afterward. I am glad to read someone (Good2Go) feels the same way I do as it alleviates the sting of the permanent blow to my ego

sigh ... whether you'd consider supporting public workers or you just "may" consider it doesn't change anything to the fact that we all know you'd never support public workers and their unions no matter what, which makes of you something between a liar and deluded. we always knew you were the job killers! no need to remind us. Asking people to bend over isn't negotiating. we already know that you are against all collective bargaining tools, including the right to unionize anywhere, which is why your employees have only wild cat strikes to counter your authoritarian ways.
