Ive shared tons of quotes along those lines before. Id have to dig them up again.. i remember in one case one of the fiunding fathers talking about how the mikitia meant "all the people", we have an example of the governement when it was new and the foubding fathers were still politicians explixitly approving private purchase of cannons, all sorts of thjngs, but id need to dig it all up again. I am on my phone so will have to do that from my computer

Walken?

@bynkii

Yup agreed you need a guru who isnt those things, but generally lists, is kind, and gets things done... a fake "A" player isnt needed. An actual expert with good team and social and empathy skills, yes.

@trinsec a bit of a stretch but: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/tho

@stevenbodzin

Huh? Why was that directed at me, doesnt seem relevant to anything i said. I never even mentioned gore for example

@futurebird

@trinsec i guess if you are shakespeare thst one still works :)

@theogrin but those arent the two options.

The option is 1) you have a union your forced into and it can throw 49% under a bus to benefit 51% 2) you can have unions be opt in in which case you have unions that only exist when it benefits anyone who joins, in which case you still have unions except now unions can compete and whichever one does the best job at helping everyone survives.

If You replace the w in "what, when, and where" with a "t" it answers each of those questions.

@theogrin yes i agree. But i also refer to my earlier response here. So long as the electricians union serves all of its employees well then people will choose to join by their own accord.

The issue with forcing people to join is thst now the union only has to serve 51% of their members ro stay in power and can throw the other 49% under a bus. With opt out scenario thry are forced to try to benefit everyone.

@theogrin well as ive said im all for electricians having unions... and even more so for needing an electrician to be licensed. I just want people to be able to choose which union their in or if.

@stux

Most wanted list... man that makes russia look weak. Now their scared of students with opinions.

@theogrin i think its fine to state the edge cases where it comes unacceptable... i mean its not like the case where unions are forced is all THAT rare. Yes its a minority but for many govt jobs and labor unions like electricians and transport it is very much thr norm.

@futurebird even in sales you shoukd be finding better ways to deliver your message so you find meaningful loyal clients... if your resorting to cold calling youve already failed

@futurebird

Hustle shoukd matter in all areas.. jt just shoukd be hustle invested in value (skills, deliverables, etc).. when hustle comes down to "i knocked on doors till i found a rube" thrn yea thats a bug.
