and buy cheap forgein goods

tariffs are required to make that idea work

It actually might work here then.

conceptually you could make an effort to stratify the worlds culture and economics and then the compartment becomes the entire globe

but thats utopian thinking

No, it still reduces the amount of expendable income, if it's an imposition on the consumer side.

it's an old argument i used to have with my conservative grandmother who was staunchly anti-union

You can make up for it by opening markets, sure, importing foreign goods and services.

Nonetheless, it's still that much less of an expendable income available to the rightful owner of the seized wages that're the byproduct of their labors.

unions place pressure on industry making it less profitable and Clinton signs NAFTA so that companies can afford to pay workers more. once the tariffs are gone, those companies just move their labor abroad

Unions are bad.

Indeed.

This, my friends, is the representation of the inner child

Collective bargaining isn't.

Cancerous.

Speaking of unions

i wouldn't go that far

a type of collective bargaining is nessecary to keep the corporations in check

it has to be a balance

not asking so much the company can't make a profit

redpill: the free market is collective bargaining

I remember seeing a lecture by a KGB defactor, explaining how unions are used as a way to destroy the foundation a country is based upon

I would, given the inefficiencies in about 14% of the economy for which they operate total in the trillions/annually, costs carried over to consumers and tax-payers.

but not letting the company fuck over the community and workers

They're not necessary anymore because of worker mobility.

Labor markets have never been more competitive.

Thank vehicular travel and the internet for that.

unions are unfortunately structured similarly to social organizations and thus have the same pitfalls

socialism is the mob

which is unions

ehhh, the competitivity is being strangled by many factors

Unhappy laborers can now find a new job within hours, move anywhere they wish at the drop of a dime.

Market is too unstable, and jobs change so quickly, having a union sounds like a waste of yime

'creative destruction'

At least from what I've observed

and the death of dollar voting

No, the worker mobility creates more uniformity around wages and compensation.

Not the unions.

you misunderstand the term

that does break down when you introduce foreign elements the way most of the west has
