I didn’t say “only,” but it’s the main driver in my view. Yes, that still holds— fairly obvious, in fact. You raise this now as if you’ve been vindica...

Nope. But I see why those with anti-social personality disorder may think that.
July 30, 2022 at 13:37
They have, and it’s very possible they will again. Your gut feelings aside. Not always. In fact, I’m not sure even most of the time. What unions fight...

Read about the 30s. The Wagner Act wasn’t simply a gift from above. They’re not gone.
July 30, 2022 at 04:14
The government has never been pro-union. Never. FDR was somewhat receptive to unions, and with the proper push was able to pass the labor relations ac...
July 30, 2022 at 03:28
Yep.
July 30, 2022 at 03:16
The labor movement far predates Roosevelt.
July 30, 2022 at 02:02
No, it’s not close to true. Feel free to pick up literally any book about it. The labor movement far predates any “government backing,” Teddy Roosevel...
July 30, 2022 at 01:40
Not remotely true. Says who?
July 30, 2022 at 01:17
Yeah, it's pretty silly. But again, depends on how we're defining communism and socialism. By how I think of the terms, unions are certainly communist...
July 29, 2022 at 23:51
Depends on what we mean by socialism. According to some, unionization itself is just one step away from communism. The problem isn't whether unions ar...
July 29, 2022 at 20:48
All very important. In terms of the anti-unionization bias, you see it full blown in the UK rail strikes. Mick Lynch has been doing an excellent job i...
July 29, 2022 at 20:33
I see that as well...and honestly, as pathetic as this sounds, I just want to be happy about this for a couple days.
July 29, 2022 at 01:25
It would help by defining what you mean by phenomenology. In my view, phenomenology is the awareness of beings, particularly those which are absent. H...
July 29, 2022 at 01:19
A much better synopsis, yes. The more I look at it, the less great this bill looks for climate. I'd like to think it's still a win, but if it is it's ...
July 29, 2022 at 01:16
And barely gets reported. Very encouraging signs. A healthy labor movement, starting with strong (strike-ready) unions, is crucial to any positive cha...
July 29, 2022 at 00:27
I see what you mean now. But I know many people who desperately want to change and can’t do it, despite all kinds of plans and support. Diets are one ...
July 28, 2022 at 22:56
You could look at it as validation, I suppose. I don't say that myself, but I can see that. Taking the time to figure out what's important to you, who...
July 28, 2022 at 22:32
That was an interesting post, and I didn't get a chance to finish reading it. I particularly like the example of chess. Why did you delete?
July 28, 2022 at 22:23
This legitimately had me laughing. Well done. :lol: It really is ridiculous, isn't it? We need nuclear now more than ever. I understand the concerns, ...
July 28, 2022 at 22:18
Yes. It's funny -- the thread was created a year ago and its title is incredibly obsolete, but it goes to show how far this has come. To recap for tho...
July 28, 2022 at 20:29
What's sad is that you feel, despite near unanimous feedback from both other moderators and other posters, that the comment "We are in an ice age guys...
July 28, 2022 at 17:56
That was done. If necessary, I will continue to do so. Especially when one makes off-topic remarks and continues to after being asked not to. I'd glad...
July 28, 2022 at 17:48
You were "simply saying" it after you were told that it was off topic. Furthermore, the fact that "information about ice ages can be shocking" says no...
July 28, 2022 at 17:40
I deleted your posts because they were irrelevant, and explained why. Nothing to do with "disagreement." The post deleted in this feedback thread was ...
July 28, 2022 at 17:34
The following post: Is irrelevant and off topic. Not to mention rather snarky. Easy to go back and look up. Apparently you were responding to -- witho...
July 28, 2022 at 17:23
Exactly. It does appear that way, yes. I should have emphasized the social aspect -- alas, I left quite a bit out to keep it as brief as possible. But...
July 28, 2022 at 14:16
It doesn't invalidate having goals any more than it invalidates wanting. It simply acknowledges that sometimes what we want, or what we prioritize, is...
July 28, 2022 at 02:25
All good points. Having goals based on faulty assumptions or poor values is a big obstacle.
July 28, 2022 at 01:19
Appreciate the feedback.
July 28, 2022 at 00:21
As I've explained several times, the comments on the climate change thread are off-topic and will be deleted if continued. You're free to take it up w...
July 28, 2022 at 00:18
Absolutely. This reversal really stunned me.
July 28, 2022 at 00:01
No, you said the following: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/722391 Very easy to look it up.
July 27, 2022 at 23:53
No, you said exactly what I quoted -- without context, without the quote function, without the mention function. It was irrelevant and off topic.
July 27, 2022 at 23:47
I’ll say it once more: not only is this inaccurate, it’s also completely irrelevant and off topic.
July 27, 2022 at 23:15
Okay, then I'll gladly explain. Making this comment: Without quoting anyone or referencing anything, in the climate change thread, is irrelevant. When...
July 27, 2022 at 23:05
Apologies for resurrecting this thread, but this is big and surprising news: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/manchin-schumer-climate-deal_n_62e1a677e4b...
July 27, 2022 at 21:52
Randomly stating facts about ice ages in a climate change thread is irrelevant. Stay on topic or start another thread about ice ages.
July 27, 2022 at 21:50
Some possibly VERY good news: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/manchin-schumer-climate-deal_n_62e1a677e4b07f83766bafbb A complete reversal.
July 27, 2022 at 21:49
Completely irrelevant, as was the initial comment. The fact remains: climate change is caused by greenhouse gas emissions, and is happening at a rapid...
July 27, 2022 at 21:42
The problem is that it's as irrelevant as stating any random fact about the climate.
July 27, 2022 at 21:03
Then the following... ...is meaningless. According to whom? Where are you getting this from? The levels of CO2 in the atmosphere are not going to corr...
July 27, 2022 at 20:47
The global average temperature is rising at an alarming rate because of greenhouse gas emissions. That's not difficult to understand. I have no idea w...
July 27, 2022 at 20:43

The one I linked to. Just click it on and it'll take you there. Are you truly unaware of how this forum works? If that's too difficult, I'm referring ...
July 27, 2022 at 20:33
CO2 levels have increased dramatically since the 1800s. What are you talking about?
July 27, 2022 at 20:31
What’s the relevance of this remark?
July 27, 2022 at 20:09
Hmm, interesting. As I mentioned to Isaac, I regret not including more of the social component to all of this. Seems very individualistic, although I ...
July 27, 2022 at 20:08
Substantive as always. :roll: :snicker:
