Oh right, I need to dumb it down for you.

Why do unions make threats?

Threats work.

Mind-blowing stuff, I know.

Calm down there, skippy.

You're making a good anti-union case here...so I'm agreeing with you.

The minimum wage in the USA is absolutely oppressive, even to young white males. Maintaining "empire" is kind of like maintaining a combustion engine, 100x more expensive and complex than it probably needs to be.

There is a solid argument against the current US system. Billionaires are trying desperately to compete against one another to basically do what is 1/100th what Buzz generation did in the 1960s. When I say that the US system generationally destroys progress, it extends all the way to white billionaires in the USA.

If a Japanese swordmaster only teaches 90% of his skills to the future generation (keeping back 10% as secret to always keep himself relevant) does that mean that every sword made in the future will only be worse than the original grandmaster swordmaker? History says it happens, and its horrible when you see every sword for centuries being worse year on year. In the case of Japanese swords, it was at a time with rudimentary market systems (not really capitalist or communist, but more feudal conquest type society)

Is Elon oppressed by the current USA system? Well, you can look at it that way - I often wonder if Elon does.

Far too much emphasis is placed by far too many people on "left vs right". Decay or growth of society may depend or be minimally affected by either. The problem is not capitalism or communism, the problem is NASA and a $10,000 toilet seat (rewarding complacency and decay).

Salary parity...dont all canadian government jobs have suck pay? I would of thought they would be striking over worker safety.

[ExtraSlow]

They pay is not bad. Sometimes it's great. Sometimes they don't pay you at all. Wide variety.

wait... people still thinks Unions work in 2021?

They are very effective if you want to get paid to do nothing and hide behind someone else when it comes time to talk about compensation.

I can definitely understand why kert is all about them

Ask for 3 things, get 2. Show members that's a win.

Not to say bad things about our cops but CPS only need Grade 12 and 6 months of training and you start at $68K/yr. Shitty job but that ain't bad consider length of training you need.

Also US is not opening, land border remain close til Aug 21st:

Sounds reasonable. Want something else? Give something up.

^^^ Lol. That is exactly as I would have imagined but I have never seen it laid out like that. Got to keep those government microchips out of your body somehow.

Not sure if there are data out there but I would venture a guess it'll be similar.

Total pop % vaccinated, 1 dose, 2 dose.
BC 72 51
AB 64 52
SK 64 52
MB 68 55
ON 70 57
QC 72 51

CAN 70 53

Basically add 10% to all number if you only want to count eligible.
