Jobs Trump Wages: Ironworkers Great Sellout

[jtuck004]

6. Don't want comments you don't like? Don't post it. Calling those hard working people sellouts

in the title while complaining about my use of the word bloviate...that's funny. As is an assumption that everyone is going to agree with you just because you wrote it.

As far as meaning, that is up to the reader.

The companies and governments have been on a sustained campaign to destroy unions for the past 40 years. They have nearly all the gold, and make nearly all the rules, and could borrow enough money to spirit the jobs away, making union strategies near worthless.

And, as in this case, people had lots of advice for the unions, but no vision, and no real money. Those were what they needed, not more all-knowing words from someone who knew better than they did what to do.

What it read like was telling a rape victim how they were complicit - not so much about the person committing the assault. It may well have sounded different to you - that would be expected.

I like the explanation a little better than what was written the first time.
