You don't have to hire anyone as well.



Yes! Thank you! I shouldn’t have to hire anyone I don’t like. I shouldn’t have to hire anyone on any basis whatsoever. Screw affirmative action. I’ll discriminate because it’s my business and my damn right to do so.

No one is obligated to life.


In the US a person is a resource that must work for little gain. Meager wage, meager benefits, maybe health insurance, maybe a little pto, maybe a little time off for new baby if boss nice. Free to become endentured servant of state or boss. Even if you are a boss, then your new boss is the state. Even worse



We have options. To blame the government for being poor is like people blaming mcdonalds for being fat.

The state can go fuck themselves. But I rather deal with that and make great money. It’s the lesser of two evil and by huge margin.

There are plenty of ways a government can loot your wealth. Eminent domain, tax, audit attention, revoke license, change regulations, swat team having fun in your house, draft your ass.

Hating unions is anti-american and anti-working family.

Unions are a major buttress against authoritarianism. We have lost our union movement and have been moving toward authoritarian capitalism ever since.

In America, It’s a free country. No one is obligated to work. No one is forced to work. If people are not satisfied with their wages, then they can work somewhere else.


If you let the very big business to take over
- 1 End of your profits because your customers are a) too poor to buy your shit b) buying everything from their company shop.
- 2 You will be forced to work for them by a way or another, at this point you will get what you asked for: a misery salary to be a franchise tenant bitch.
- 3 Deserved it

Imagine thinking telling people they are not allowed to bargain and band together against corporations or the state to protect their interests is somehow anti-freedom and anti-american...LMFAO

Aren’t unions the most anti-american thing you ever heard?

I thought America was about the land of opportunity. A place where you can make your own business and be your own boss.

Instead we got a bunch of gangsters telling people how to run their business and collect money. Shouldn’t the government protect the people from that form of abuse? Business owners are still people.


I understand that working class people complain about their job. But no one forces anyone to work. People can quit and choose something else. That is what makes America great.



It depends on the situation. Some large industries use unfair methods to screw over workers. So long as the union membership is not mandatory i support them in private industries.

Honestly I think we should get rid of all right to work laws and minimum wage laws.

Both serve the same purpose, to get between the workers and their employers and tell them what terms aren't acceptable.

If a union wants to negotiate with a business so that the business can only hire from the union, then that's their right. If they have that much loyalty from their members they should absolutely be able to do that. Similarly, if somebody wants to work for 3$/hour they should be able to do that as well, provided the business hasn't agreed to not signed a contract with somebody else that says they aren't allowed to do that.

If we want a true free market that means total freedom for unions to negotiate with businesses, and no government oversight on things like wages and worker protections. Republicans tend to only want the second half without acknowledging the first half.

If the choice is work or starve there is no choice.
