"Clear as mud?"

Normally said after I tried to explain something and I'm only getting a blank stare in response. Or after a meeting when I know everyone is confused.

Stability is the bigger difference.

I was really into Overwatch when it started. When I got into Master/Grandmaster, every tiny lag spike would happen at the worst time. It convinced me to run a 250' cable throughout our house lol.

I understand the sentiment, but this isn't always true. Some workers need unions while working for non-profit companies.

The difference is more to do with the power imbalance between workers and managers.

If an employee is trying to skip hours, their manager has power over them. The manager can fire them, cut hours, or dock pay.

If a manager is trying to skimp pay, they still have power over the employee. The employee cannot make demands to the manager because they have no leverage.

But if all the employees join together? Now they have collective bargaining. This is what unions are for. Its to try and balance the inherent power imbalance.

Right? Whenever someone is confused about my dislike of conservatives, they act like I disagree with their tax policies.

Obviously there are bigger things at issue here.

I've bought replacement ear pads two or three times now. The top is beginning to fall apart a bit but overall they are holding strong.

Galaxy buds at work. Bose QC35 at my home desk. And a Dewalt Bluetooth speaker while outside anywhere.

I've had the QC35 for more than 5 years now and I love them.

Oooohh understood. Yeah that makes sense. I thought you were making a sweeping generalization and I got confused. All good.

I think that's a bit of a stretch. Its entertainment and that's why I watch it. But even my favorite podcasters are very clearly coming from an angle with their opinions. This isn't a secret.

Like, I enjoy watching Hasan. But the first show I watched of his was literally called "AgitProp" lol.

The article described our "union boom" as the growth we saw last year. While its awesome to acknowledge our wins, I think its also important to understand the greater context. The last two decades have been rough for unions. Hopefully we can continue this growth and support.
