You're an ignorant slut. You have no idea what unions do for the members.

Oh, and you have this delusion that union dues are big bucks - wrong-o. They average 2-3% of your wages. And the head of the biggest union, the AFL-CIO, gets about $350k. Now, how much does your fucking CEO make, millions?

Comment Obvious questions (Score 2) 40

1. Will employees still be paid for full time, or (US esp.) will they be shifted to part-time, and so all their benefits dropped?
2. Exactly where will they get new employees, if HR requires new hires to have x years of experience? (No, they won't get it from other companies, who'll do the same damn thing.)

Which is when the lobbyists got through Congress to allow advertising prescription drugs to the public, not just doctors. Only one other country in the world allows it.

EVERY SINGLE AD says "ask your doctor is x is right for you". YOUR DOCTOR SHOULD ALREADY KNOW. YOU, ARE THE FUCKING TARGET, AND IT'S THE PEOPLE WITH THE LEAST KNOWLEDGE BUGGING THEIR DOCTORS FOR THINGS THAT THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE.

Comment Where are these safe roads? (Score 1) 181

Last year, touring around the UK after Worldcon, we rented a car, and drove from Wokeingham to Avebury. a) the mapping software we used had us on tiny roads, with speed limits averaging 10mph higher than they would be in the US on comparable roads.

And that's with me driving a stick, which I hadn't done in 10 years, *and* driving on the left... No accidents, but I drove at US speeds.
