2. I am not sure about this assessment, but if it is a valid one, and labor did not learn their lesson

when they voted for Reagan over Carter, then they are kind of getting their just desserts, and the SC decision today on unions is part of that.

I will concede that this might be more complicated then presented in the article, since in all likelihood trump duped many of them with the lies about jobs. Remember Carrier?

He also pushed the coal theme, and no doubt those in that industry might have been influenced by that, but anyone with any sense of critical thinking would have realized he was talking out of his ass, and his record of how his personal business had treated labor and business within his own empire, was dismal, at best, and if they were duped by that, in spite of overwhelming evidence of his dishonesty, then they will be paying for the consequences of their actions
