@marsCubed Im talking about how those unions are getting too powerful for their own good. Teachers unions being a primary example. What the heck are YOU talking about?
-
@johncisney15 What the heck are you talking about? USA has lowest rates of union membership in the OECD & nearly lowest in world. Reagan smashed unions up in the 80s.
Wages have stagnated and fallen ever since.. Despite worker productivity soaring.
The proportion bosses took as bonuses sky-rocketed, with predictable results.
Places like Denmark and Norway have highest standards of living on the planet, most equal too.
Highest tax on the top 2%.
It was the market hype con-jobs that crashed.

@marsCubed Unions are just another way to take advantage and to get rich off the backs of the poor. They have become what they were trying to prevent. I remember when a teacher in my old high school beat a student in front of the entire class but still got to keep his job because the unions were protecting him. Two months later he molested a male student and raped a female student. They still would have let him keep his job if the parents didnt threaten to sue. Unions cant be trusted.

Most white people were made poor.
finding themselves at the bottom of the heap with those many once considered poorer. a buffer gone.
Worse since these figures;
1% now have 43+% of all financial wealth in USA. (money in their accounts).
The figures are startling.
80% have less than 7% left between them & shrinking.
No Unions., Wages stolen for decades.
Everyone.. working people are uniting against the divide & rule ranting shits who stole our economy.
There is no dealing with it.

@marsCubed If you belong to any race, religion, or sex there are going to be bigots out there who will harass you for it.You think I never got denied a job because Im a man and they needed a woman to fill the position so they wouldnt get sued?Even though I had more credentials and experience?You dont think I was never denied a job because Im white and they needed a black person on the team to keep from getting sued?It happens to ALL races, sexes and religions.Its a part of life.Deal with it.

@johncisney15 Yes, things are better for people when they stand together to get laws, conditions, fairness and wage parity. Look up the chartist movement. Nothing worth having was handed down.
I'm no victim, regular people standing together against austerity and divisive thugs & their ideology changes perspectives, countries, states, the world.
I am just letting you know in case you missed it on the news.
People are waking up. They ain't gonna take the BS anymore.

@marsCubed Actually, it is ILLEGAL for women to be paid less than men just based on their sex. Sure, there are a few companies who can find loopholes in the laws but the majority of the time women get paid just as much for doing the same job as men do. And lets not forget all the special perks women get like maternity leave etc.Child poverty, health and education worsening are NOT just concerns WOMEN have today. Men have to suffer those same things too so dont try to play victim with me.

@johncisney15 #1 humanity is my party, my policy is on union banners.
Being a woman in a world of sexist stereotypes means lower pay and kids not getting what they need sometimes.
Child poverty, health and education are worsening. amongst the most pressing concerns women have today.
Those who jeer during hard times like this are anti-social twats IMO.
Enslave men?
Most people want a fair system, working towards sensible goals and good jobs.
Not obscene & freakish inequality we have today.

@susanmaria232 men watch boobies the way women watch babies.
When a woman sees a baby, she may want to look at it and admire it in some way.
she does not generally want to take it home with her.
it doesn't mean she loves her own baby less.
Men are the same with boobies.
It might be that he is bored, or stressed, maybe you both need a holiday. or maybe he just likes boobies.
But maybe ask him why is best.
