well fair enough but thats not what i asked. i said do you have any solutions? i know youre in favor of unions and i am too but ive never done a job that was unionized and just.

You wanting things that just aren't going to happen. It's all about the money, and as long as people are striving to have more of it, whether they are a corporate exec, union worker, highly educated professional, they are going to get theirs. It's just the way it is. There isn't some collective light bulb that will come on where well paid people are going to give up money so that poorly paid people can have more. You can rage against the system if you want, but you'll have just as much effect as you would spitting into a high wind. I know you mean well Ricky, but you might consider channeling that energy into something that will give you a better life.
