govts definitely have an effect on union membership rates
and again the union rate didnt shoot up under trump.
i dont think you understand the definition of impede
i guarantee you most companies should be unionized and corporations are having record profits so its not exactly hard times. it might be hard times for small business but not big business
in some countries most companies ARE unionized. iceland is pushing 90% and theyre a superior country to north america.
you dont have majority rule, you have electoral college
we dont have proportional representation either.
Electoral College is only for presidential elections. And our majorities elect representatives who advocate policies we want. Yes, I know, we have corrupting influences too.

Majority doesn't always rule.
Not if liberals in the minority get their way.

This measure must win at least 60% of the vote to pass.
I don't believe the liberals set the 60% threshold.

Voters chose to do this.
“In 2006, Florida voters passed a constitutional amendment to raise the threshold to pass constitutional amendments from 50% to 60%.”
See, only a liberal would complain about the process and want it changed in their favor. Florida requires the 60% threshold for all amendments to pass. It's to avoid the tyranny of the minority, no matter what the issue is. In other words if it only took say 51% to pass then amendments would be constantly voted on for every issue by every imaginable group who think they may have a shot.

The Bible is the written word of God, and because it is written it is confined and
limited by the necessities of ink and paper and leather. The Voice of God,
however, is alive and free as the sovereign God is free.
"The words that I speak
unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
" The life is in the speaking words.
God's word in the Bible can have power only because it corresponds to God's
word in the universe. It is the present Voice which makes the written Word all-
powerful. Otherwise it would lie locked in slumber within the covers of a book.

Iceland has less people than even Wyoming, our least populated state. Can you name the large unionized companies in Iceland?
Eu is 23%
Has nothing to do with what I asked.
Yea it does. You make excuses about americas size but europe is 700 million. America used to have 33 percent
I asked you to name Iceland's big unionized companies and you started talking about the EU. And I've never talked about America's size compared to the EU per unions. Totally irrelevant. I've pointed out that the U.S. has a much larger area and much less people than Europe so the kind of transportation you're wanting wouldn't work in the U.S. except in some crowded areas like the Northeast.

This universal Voice of God was by the ancient Hebrews often called Wisdom,
and was said to be everywhere sounding and searching throughout the earth
seeking some response from the sons of men. The eighth chapter of the Book of
Proverbs begins, "Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?"
The writer then pictures wisdom as a beautiful woman standing “in the top of the
high places, by the way in the places of the paths”. She sounds her voice from
every quarter so that no one may miss hearing it. "Unto you, O men, I call; and
my voice is to the sons of man” Then she pleads for the simple and the foolish
to give ear to her words. It is spiritual response for which this Wisdom of God is
pleading, a response which she has always sought and is but rarely able to
secure. The tragedy is that our eternal welfare depends upon our hearing, and we
have trained our ears not to hear.
