Disagree with all of that.

Natural Law.

Being a nudist does not qualify you as a legal expert.

Let me know when I get something wrong.

No need to wonder. They lose bigly. The Right has been promising prosperity through restraining worker's wages and powers for decades and not once has it worked out. For some reason, many continue to vote against their own self interests.

We're not even 6 months out from the tax policy change and the evidence is already piling up that the corporate behavior is exactly like it was the last two times similar policies were enacted, a total failure at redistribution of wealth.

Trump softens threat of new curbs on Chinese investment in U.S. firms

The administration said it would rely on an existing Treasury Department-led committee to restrict new Chinese investments in American technology companies, backing away from a more aggressive approach that would have declared a national economic emergency.

Oh now this will certainly be a treat. Do proceed

Gary, please tell us all about it!!!

U.S. trade partners are fed up with Trump’s idiotic games and are cutting deals with other allies. The U.S. is getting screwed. There is no way the U.S. can survive as a stand-alone economy. Trump know this, that is why he has many foreign properties.

Are you willing to admit that many benefits that workers have today are through the past efforts of unions?

Most full time workers have a 40 hour work week. Lower wage non-managerial workers get paid time and a half for hours worked over 40 in a week.

Most full time workers get sick pay and/or vacation pay.

There is a minimum wage that people can be paid.

All of that happened through union efforts.

Now, some organizations have unions with voluntary union dues and some with mandatory union dues if you want to work there.

I see the dilemma.

Let's say you want to work somewhere but you don't want to pay union dues because you don't agree on all of their positions.

The workers that do not pay dues still get the benefits from the collective bargaining that the union does for the whole group.

Say they got a $1/hour pay bump for all workers and an extra paid holiday. Everyone gets that. So those that didn't chip in still get the benefit from those that do chip in. Does that sound fair?

If you say dues are voluntary then most people drop out and the power to bargain diminishes as does the chance at better pay.

So the right to not pay could result in a smaller pay check - the opposite of this objective.

If your point is that you can't make people join and pay, I see that argument.

But I think your point may be that you want to see all unions dissolved to increase corporate profits. Maybe you don't need a union for yourself but would like to see a bump in your stocks.

Is your point the former or the latter?

Wow big democrat Joe Crowley just lost to a Republican in New York! No one saw that seat flipping!!!

Fool. You have no clue what a PRIMARY election is. Crowley lost that to a Latina activist who is very liberal. A republican candidate has to run against her. It does not look good for your guy beating this liberal woman.

The Joe Crowley loss is a huge blow to Democrats. He was a lifer, next in line behind Pelosi. He lost to a 28 year-old open Marxist socialist. We've been trying to tell you democrat voters that your party is gone, you are now the Socialist Party. You okay with that?

Socialism always looks good from the outside. Ask a Venezuelan.

Yeah, I am in agreement with what you say. Was trying to be conversive rather than declarative there.

I will be declarative here though:

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

It's called the "Biden rule." Perfectly okay when the Dems were in power and got Ruth Bader Ginsberg nominated & confirmed. McConnell returned only returned the favor.

The Supreme Court will eventually go to a 6-3 conservative majority- how you like 'dem' apples?
