unions in the public sector are a conflict of interest but gop only see glarring levels of conflict of interest when it hurts gop votes
I know a guy who just sorta wasn't liked by literally one executive at a major crown corporation here, and it is pretty clear that the union was instructed to represent him incompetently.
Mitchy, you came to the alt-right discord for that.
@MourningMoon this all started with a picture of a prop car for the joker movie I just walked by, and a billboard for lung transplants, lol
wat in the actual hell then!?
Unions also syphon funds from education though, you don't need a union to make sure teachers get paid
Welcome to the chaos Mitchy.
they don't see it when for example the decision or not to charge a cop who shoots an unarmed person is arbitrated by people who's job has every incentive to make police unions happy. It's the police policing the police
@MourningMoon Then we got on the topic of lung cancer, lung cancer rates; then Dusty recalled that in his state they are attempting to impose a sin tax on cigarettes which is bothering him.
I think Unions should be disband.
I don't think that unions should have any special legal protections.
lol
They are more harmful for the workers and don't represent them at all.
He is kidding of course, doubt there are any alt-right or very few here
They donate to mostly leftist causes... aka 8%
sin taxes? i was just taught about that stuff in my econ class last week
If companies want to subject workers to unions, it is what it is.
@MourningMoon In this case, they missed the deadline to impose taxes, so they pretended that it was an administrative fee; the OK Supreme Court found the way they did that unconstitutional, and struck it down.
@Mitchy also hello, i am your like 4min older sempai in this ch
another conflict of interest is the guy running for gov of georgia deciding how votes are counted in georgia. In all 50 states election boards should be non partisan officials or a bipartisan board
"unions in the public sector are a conflict of interest but gop only see glarring levels of conflict of interest when it hurts gop votes"
For sure, that is part of the problem
Partisan issues getting more and more out of hand leaving the 40% of U.S. in the middle out
Wonder if gerrymandering is ever gonna be addressed by a candidate ever.
Do you really think Sin Taxes are good for economy and state?
@xorgy ok i was expecting talks of politics/policies in this ch but didnt see it going this deep in
We like to pretend we are thinkers
@Grenade123 it is all the time, but only by the side that is hurt by it at the time
Sin taxes are better than sin prohibition. By how much is still unknown.
@ExceptionalFeather yeah, but they don't address it, just bitch about it
oh btw might as wel just throw some info here since sin taxes were mentioned, its essentially a extra 3% tax here in BC for alcohol and tobacco
Grenade it's pretty simple but both parties dont want gerrymandering reform so they can use it to their advantage. Simple solution is to have non partisan or bipartian group create districts for Geographic reasons. The minority party in 48 states could propose a ballot initiative and it would pass in most states
while taxes for food is 5% and everything else is at 12%, so sin taxe brings stuff to 15%
it hurts
I never really like the fact they banned that cooking oil, then they tax cigarettes.... all these taxes and bans "For your own good."
@RomanReigns parties don't, individuals might. They just need to be popular enough that the party wouldn't have a choice but put them on the ballot if they want to win.
That would assume they learn from the 2016 elections
Which clearly they haven't
Roman... non-partisan groups end up becoming partisan.
It is pervasive.
Put it this way Grenade if your the minority party in a large state you probably can win more house seats with gerrymandering reform so it would be in your best interest to work with a bipartisan group to get it in on your states ballot
