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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 ...
And barely gets reported. Very encouraging signs. A healthy labor movement, starting with strong (strike-ready) unions, is crucial to any positive cha...
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 ...
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...
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, ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
I deleted your posts because they were irrelevant, and explained why. Nothing to do with "disagreement." The post deleted in this feedback thread was ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Okay, then I'll gladly explain. Making this comment: Without quoting anyone or referencing anything, in the climate change thread, is irrelevant. When...
Apologies for resurrecting this thread, but this is big and surprising news: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/manchin-schumer-climate-deal_n_62e1a677e4b...
Completely irrelevant, as was the initial comment. The fact remains: climate change is caused by greenhouse gas emissions, and is happening at a rapid...
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...
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...
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 ...
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 ...
