@jshm2 What we actually need are less billionaires, although unions can help for now. Consider this:


Having no billionaires is the best way to redistribute wealth.

Start with the obvious - to spread wealth you need to have wealth. The unions have no wealth so they can't spread wealth.

The consider an obvious example of the tech billionaires. Gates/Zuck/Bezos/Google guys etc. They've all become billionaires. How many millionaires do you think they've created?

@JonUK41 The unions are there to force the billionaires to spread their wealth.

@JonUK41 the big unions are stacked full of cash and for the most part they do not represent the workers. Its yet another con game to make it feel like you have agency, when in fact you are giving your agency away to unions and paying a monthly fee to do so

Collective bargaining does not spread wealth, it increases production cost, meaning that income increase is nullified.

@JonUK41 so the only way to make money is to work directly for a billionaire, and not for one of their companies. Right…
@JonUK41 DJT has stiffed MANY people he hired to do special work for him.

So no.

@Patriot96 So you seem to be implying that someone working a 60 hour week does not deserve to get paid a colossal $15 an hour for their effort. Odd.

Give me a billion dollars and just see what I could spend it on ☺

Unions exist to perpetuate themselves, not for members

@Patriot96 Right.

But unions and billionaires have 1 thing in common - they don't care about your interests.

That said you have a far better chance of making money working for a billionaire - or potential future billionaire - than you do by joining a union.

@JonUK41 and if you work for a billionaire like Bezos, who pays peanuts?

@iamthe99 A bribe delivers some economic benefit in exchange for some favour.

In simple terms if you do this for me I'll give you something of value in exchange - maybe money or some valuable asset. A plane would obviously be a valuable asset.

Just tell us what economic benefit Trump will gain from this plane.

@JonUK41 Moving the goalposts again! 🤣 Economic benefit now! 🤣

We're done here, I have a life :D

@iamthe99 Thanks for the laugh mate

You may wish to ponder why the left keeps losing.
