Electricians from all over the country poured into the East Coast this week and are now moving to the areas hit hard by the storm. Atlantic City and NYC cops and firemen waded into waist-deep water to save people in dangerous areas with power lines down. Union nurses and hospital aides carried patients out of NYC hospitals that lost generator power.
The next time I hear some asshole talk about “union thugs,” I may punch them.
thank you
PART 1 or why unions? We’ve already talked about the “Panic of 1837” that was brought about by “wild-cat” currency which fueled Capitalist (1%) land speculators. That was followed in ‘1857’ by a financial failure caused by Capitalist (1%) construction speculators. The financial collapse of ‘1873’ was the result of more Capitalist (1%) speculation. In ‘1893’ the Capitalist (1%) speculators crashed the stock market. The financial panic of ‘1907’ was the result of Capitalist (1%) corporate monopolies, unsecured bank debt, and financial speculators. There’s a pattern here folks—-every 15 or 20 years. TO BE CONTINUED…….
And the Frank Luntz term “union bosses” frosts my cookies the same way. As if democratically elected leaders should be equated with the heads of crime families.
