I am relating to personal experiences and so would not wish to divulge to much on the companies 😉

Unions can be useful.... I have a friend who after 30 years would clearly be fired and replaced by three new employees with no experience because, to a director it looks like he or she saved money and so can be guaranteed a promotion.....

Where I disagree with Unions is that they have no accountability. If they negociate a scrappy deal or employees get no salary increase, they should give back to the employee as a padding or a rainy day situation considering union members do continue to pay the ever increasing fee of union membership.

I see unions here in Quebec(Canada) becoming fabulously rich while their scrape by...

Just look at companies that have seamstresses, they will offer full suits for the higher strata of society and yet the working conditions are like sweat shops.... And they are unionized which makes you wonder how bad it could get....

It feels, from my perspective that unions are useful so long as people can opt out and vote anonymously which is not always the case....

Je pense aussi au fait que les municipalités ont des employés ayant des salaires qui sont incroyables...

Notre maîtresse de Longueuil est payé le même salaire ou à peu près à celui du premier ministre du Québec.....

For point of fact I'm more on the socialist side since in my country we have had universal healthcare for years and are a better society for it instead of being gun trotting savage capitalist....

That's a you buddy @[email protected]

You are the finest example of the American typical citizen who acts like a frog.... You let the media dictate your actions instead of using your own intelligence.... It's a pity...

I am not saying that protesters should suffer through violence, that is twisting what is said. I said that when you are united as a people, you are capable of great things..... And protest is one of tools that you have....

Agreed and his company and all like him should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Imagine if millions of people walked the streets to stop the healthcare scam of America? Blue and red United....

I did not make such allusion but thank you for making such a cheap conclusion....

I hope you never lose anyone in your family, I certainly wouldnt trivialize your pain but then again.... Not surprised

Well we could ask the same question when Notre dame de Paris burned, how many millions went to rebuild it?

I respect the arts and the building is an important part of French history which is important.

I would however say that it is interesting that we cannot raise money for charities but if an art building burn oh well... Let the millions pour in....

I actually have to build a new computer (edit changed it from previous word used lol) ... The last time I had built mine was in 2013 with an Asus i7which lasted quite a while until the whole Windows 11....non compatibility.....

Now to look at socket type and see if my. Old casing can take it and yada yada ....

I don't want to go the laptop route since I still prefer desktop for gaming than laptops....

None taken, however my comment and yours can both be true which is my concern....

From various reports it would seem that President Biden is quite a nasty little thing that, with his wife, have a very overinflated view of themselves.... (what président doesn't I guess) however he has been vindictive for being ousted for the president debste(which was a no brainer...) and honestly I truly believe that he did on purpose to tank Harris.

She has herself to blame for sure however, even Bill Clinton through his speach about the middle eastern conflict stired up the wrong tone....

The democratic party is in need to a cleanup... Then again I would say the same of the republican as well as they are under the leadership of a loon... (thinking of Black Adder with King George III)

Let's face it for elites.... They are not American, they are Elites that use America as their playground ... The Biden tanked the Harris campaign out of spite and don't care who gets in as it doesn't really affect them.

These are extremely rich people..... Unless we are in Red China, they have nothing to fear
