It’s a weird situation caused by WW2. Due to wage laws, higher wages couldn’t be offered. So they started to offer insurance. It caught on and became the standard.

Canada isn’t under the jurisdiction of American law.

As far as I know they’re civil penalties and not criminal.

The only way this stops is sending people to prison.

I’m not a union person myself, nor do I want to be but companies unfairly try to smash legal unions activities.

They get a smack on the hand, a fine but the union is smashed.

Do you think the ceo would allow illegally activity or even questionable if he was looking at twenty years in prison ?

I think you may be on to something. That may be a better way to describe it.

If you consider taxing the rich. Unions and attacking companies as far right then sure. He’s always been far right. It sounds like you’ve never read about Vance and that’s why you don’t see the radical change from who he was to supporting Trump.

Vance actually had really good ideas until he went Trump. A mixture of far left and middle right politics. Now you never hear his working class ideas.

It’s hard to imagine this is the guy who said declare war on corporations

His mentor says hillbilly elegy was written to propel him into politics. So I find it hard to believe he wasn’t interested when that was the reason for the book

The mods deleted the admins comment and tried to ban him from the community. That’s a no no in my book.

If the mods felt rooki was wrong, they shouldn’t have tried to display a power trip with their actions. They should have escalated to other admins.

Rooki deescalated by removing them as mods. That stopped their childish behavior.
