Why don't you go do some homework or invent all the best mouse traps yourself? What the unions are supposed to do probably varies to some extent.
You approach so many things like they're reason for war or feeding a conspiracy and it's ridiculous. Be nice if you really have interest in something or f off if you're just trolling.
What I do know is my bro in law gets work opportunities posted by locals, is at times referred to or goes to the union reps, contacts or offices for some work. He just told my wife he's now going to take a job near his home because it will last more than a year. Sleeping with his wife in a warmer climate instead of in a rental car in the N.E. evidently looked good to him.
Closer to topic, another report from friends said the feet, bikes and fewer cylinders you seem to loath are still helping a lot whether it's avoiding lines to get somewhere or lines to get gas. One posted some Facebook pics of their taking turns on a bike powered generator.
Do you believe people who do not belong to unions are less qualified? Because that's what the unions seem to be saying. And as Blowtorch says, organized crime is part-and-parcel. That tells me loads.
I have no problem with bikes. What I had a problem with is your smug attitude which essentially read: well I guess those poor idiots who thought their large gas-powered cars were 'all that' will be seeing the value of a bicycle. What, didn't mean that? That's how you came off.
Furthermore, some of those 'poor idiots' have nothing now, and another storm blowing in. Boy, that'll teach em to ride a bike, eh?
You seem to confuse smug and sagacity.
My apologies if I missed anything you wrote on the benefits of conservation and ingenuity when facing a bad situation.
