What is it with all these jobs like Starbucks baristas and online writers demanding a union? I know it ain't life risking jobs like coal mining or cave rescuing, but if I had a job like that, I'd just be happy to HAVE A JOB, and even then, hopefully you have someone who's willing to have an open door to talk about your issues like a schedule or a specific hours window. And again, there's always quitting as an option.

1. Unions are a hotbed of corruption and graft, which appeal to corrupt SJW types

With unions, it's VERY hard to fire bad or openly malicious employees, who quickly learn how to lawyer rule their way into becoming untouchable in terms of manipulating union rules to make the union defend/move heaven and earth to keep them from being fired even if there is explicit just cause.

Adding to this, there is an INSANE level of corruption (mostly in the form of wholesale embezzlement of union dues) the higher up in a union hierarchy you rise.

2. If you are a writer, unions not only make you unfirable but also create a near invincible firewall for gatekeeping conservatives out of the writing business, barring them from getting work at newspapers, publishing companies, or writing for Hollywood as far as movies and TV shows are concern. Along with allowing them to ban publication/production of anything not in line with the union's political views.

Dalton Trumbo is their role model in this, as he banned ANY films making Russia look bad and villainous in the 40s and 50s and kept an entire generation of conservative scriptwriters banned from working in Hollywood via his control over the Writers Guild of America.

I'm just surprised folks on the right aren't advocating for "Indian War 2.0, ending with Little Bighorn on steroids" in the event Democrats win the 2024 election. Yet.

MAGA is a bigger threat to Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, and other ranking Republicans than the Democrats.

And they'll work to destroy everything than consider that this threat may not be as bad as you think. And as much as Godwin's Law is frowned upon, I really think that we're reaching levels of Der Fuhrer where entire actions and reactions and policies are all in response to the wills, actions, and desires of one man.
