Not enough people in this country are responsible enough. The need for
responsible unions continues.

De-fang the nanny unions and lose the nanny state, and people will learn
responsibility.

Or, equivalently, if you don't like your job, quit and get a better
one.

That is the best answer regardless of whether one is or is not a union
member. It's not a union responsibility to help a person like their job.



It wasn't about liking a job.

It most certainly was. It's what John posted and that's what I responded
to.


It IS about the fact that cars cost more
than they are worth, and food is priced higher than it is worth, and the
farmer doesn't even see much of those dollars.

No, it IS NOT. Go start your own subject and leave your topic-shifting BS
out of this one.


The goddamned distribution chain, and the "supermarkets" grab it all.

That is a lot of the problem; there are too many layers between production
and the consumers. A layer you didn't mention is at the financial level.
Every little mom & pop shop wants to go public so they can sell out big-time
and make big bucks. Having done that, there is an expectation by the
thousands or millions of investors that they will derive financial gain from
each widget or morsel of food the now-public shop sells.

But having a union or not is but a small factor here.


The last five years beef prices prove it 100%.

Prove what?

They claimed the prices
spiked because adkins dieters quit doing the diet after hearing it was
not good for them, and there was a glut of beef, so they reduced cattle
production, which then created a shortage.

Now, the cows are back in high numbers, but the price is still more
than double what it was.

Goddamned bunch of liars is what they are.

You are thrashing about looking for someone to blame. Blaming "them" and
"they" is plain ridiculous.

So why do you assume it's a problem with unions?
