Congrats on the excellent discussion. Too short, which is why I’m here for the first time after subscribing 7 months ago.
I finally see what is drawing so many people to this socialist thinking. A few surprising out-of-context facts like GDP on top of the guilt about over-publicized bad behavior by companies and voila.
Manufacturers didn’t leave Youngstown and Detroit because of too much capitalism. It was from too much socialism, in the form of unions.
I was a union member as a clerical worker in the 1990s. Unions make a thick wall between management and the workers and on the worker side, everyone must be paid by seniority only. This crushes innovation.
In the 70s, our great American manufacturers were losing share to cheaper better products from Japan, whose non-unionized employees were rewarded for proposing great new ideas — kaizen.
A friend of mine is a liberal Democrat who believes Elizabeth Warren on everything. The only thing we agree on is unions, because her family’s high end doll manufacturing company was crushed from the inside by a union. Can we somehow redraw the lines in this country with stories like hers?
