    See cronyism isjt even possible and very much not allowed in mine and some other countries (can’t speak for everyone of course) And unions as again, other countries as well only have as much power as workers choosing then, no workers? No power Majority of workers use them? Now they finally have the weight they need

    That’s what I imagine and hope is the default outside america, or at least it should be

      Yeah my American brain has trouble comprehending a system where cronyism isn’t possible. Here most unions have an associated PAC and are very active with political donations and lobbying

        That place doesnt exist. There are cronys everywhere. Youre falling victim to socialist propaganda where “Everybody is equal”, thats bullshit. Every country on the planet has super huge rich companies, billionaires that have connections, bribes and payoffs.

        No different than the " free" healthcare fallacy. Just because its not itemized, peolple convince themselves by they didn’t pay for it. Thats what theyre doing, thats how all the anticapitalist bullshit happens, which is hilarious when its a Union doing it, since hard work paying off and being able to further yourself as a result of that literally being what capitalism is all about.
