    I’m anti corrupt unions, anti blind faith in “unions”, I’m anti overly simplistic internet bullshit rhetoric that sounds good in a vacuum but isn’t helpful in the world we live in…

    We agree on all those points, even if you’re implying that my position is “overly simplistic internet bullshit rhetoric that sounds good in a vacuum but isn’t helpful in the world we live in.”

    One way to make sure that no unions are corrupt is certainly to have no unions at all, but I highly doubt that that would reduce overall corruption in business. I believe it is better to have strong unions first, and address all corruption, wherever it hides, than to abandon unions and kneecap their ability to fight corruption in ownership. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

      Fair nuff friendo.

      And you’re right. Elimination of unions across the board would absolutely not lead to a positive outcome.

      I’ve just become cynical and disillusioned with society and that leaks out sometimes… but you’re right, we should not let perfect be the enemy of good. 🍻
