Wayne, the actual idiots are running the cos. at the higher levels. And I have never heard you say an encouraging word about unions. BTW, our most productive states all have strong labor unions. Our least productive are scab states. Which is why the blue states have to pay part of the bills for the red states.

My friend's friend Tony bribed and slept his way into the UAW, and reportedly he spends a decent amount of time drinking on the roof. My understanding is that before big holidays (and on Fridays) there are more guys on the floor who are loaded than those who aren't. Of course the unions have done wonders for West Virginia, the steel industry, etc. (As a caveat, I could be working a lot harder than I have been of late... although I am working this weekend.
