    I said nothing pompous. To the contrary, I was happy for your self-realization.

    You should be thrilled, then, that Trump is president. The two of you have something in common: gross generalizations of groups of people, in some cases even based on their geography.
    Hail Trump
    Two deep South states with a history of states’ rights, slavery, Jim Crow, racial violence, horrible health systems, short life expectancies, low investment and attainment in education, right to work laws for 6 decades, low income and electors for Trump. Pretty much interchangeable.

    Are we still pretending that "right to work" is a direct correlation to everything else economically of the state? Derp

    Hail Trump! They have had the right to work laws for several decades and what did they get. Economic growth, rising standard of living, a better, healthier life. None of the above. They live shortened lives in ignorance and poverty. While the large majority of states with the highest incomes, best school, longest life expectancies have rejected right to work.

    ...and what did they get? (I added the missing question mark). I could be wrong but having freedom from being under the jack-boot of Union control is my guess. Not being forced to be in a union to get a job and not being fired from a job for not being in a union is what I understand "Right to Work" to mean. Though I have never been in one, I can understand why an employee would not want to be a part of a union that uses union dues to support candidates and other political aspirations that differ from the personal beliefs of the employee... possibly even to the point that the employee will accept lower standards of living in exchange for the freedom from union tyranny.

    Hail Trump, obviously a pompous pedant can not see the obvious similarities between these states.

    Hail Trump
    Jack booted tyranny is what corporations inflicted on workers before the rise of union. 12 hour days, 6 days a week in dangerous working conditions for measly pay, often working next to child laborers. Unions through collective bargaining, which so called right to work undermines, were able to alleviate the worst of those conditions and give workers self respect and dignity. We can see the beginning of a return to previous conditions in right to work states.

    Only prejudicial ignorance would think comparisons justify treating individual communities as identical.

    Do you do it with different Asian cultures too, or is it just people groups within the US?

    I will pray you are redeemed.

    Its not a state.... The Union boss tell you this but it's not true...

    Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as "Washington", "the District", or simply "D.C.", is the capital of the United States. The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of a capital district located along the Potomac River on the country's East Coast. The U.S. Constitution provided for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Congress and the District is therefore not a part of any state.

    Blacks make up the highest percentage of Union membership. Hope this helps

    And no where do you mention OSHA or other instances of local, state and federal laws that have been implemented to protect modern employees. You act like the only recourse an employee has is through union intervention. This may have been true in bygone generations, but today, it is a leftist false narrative scare tactic.

    When begun, unions were useful, needed and indeed alleviated the worst conditions and gave employees self respect and dignity. Since that time, local, state and federal laws have been implemented that protect employees. Some employers may try to skirt the law, but if found, they are dealt with severely.

    Unions today have outlived the majority of their usefulness and have become nothing less than a facade of their former selves. Unions have become nearly entirely corrupt to the point they survive not for the employee but for, 1. the fat-cat union bosses and 2. as a money pit for the alt-left. Unions are a major reason for the abysmal education system forced upon our children and the ever-increasing financial burden on government and government projects.

    Right to work states allow employees the safety of not having to be a part of the corrupt unions to get a job and then also not be fired from a job if they are not a member of the corrupt unions.
  • QuakerOats
    Bingo. Then again it is all relative; where incomes are lower, the cost of living is also lower.


    The problem we have today is that the imputed income of all government handouts is about on par with average household income, so there is no incentive to get a job and be productive. The liberal answer is not to fix that, but rather to go on nationwide rants to increase minimum wage to $15-$20 (which incidentally is just the impetus to then have all wages rise by ridiculous amounts) in order that work becomes equal to, or greater than, welfare in value.

    This could be fixed in a matter a hours if we had elected officials that had the balls to do it.

    You referring to SE DC? That's certainly a thriving economic area filled with residents whose family incomes are asymptotically climbing!!! :)
