OSHA in Wisconsin (Madison: appointed, to move, wealthy)

[froglipz]

Wisconsin politics will only change after it gets bad enough that company's can't find enough people to accept the poor treatment being dealt out!

In the more rural areas they just bus in illegals, been doing it for years...

I'm no fan of Scott Walker but I never thought Wisconsin would tolerate a governor that supports a seven day work week and tells you he's doing it for you like it's a favor.

Really? Who, very specifically, is "they?" And in what rural areas are there confirmed "illegals" being brought in by bus? I need more than "some talk radio guy said it."

I love how people always ask this question like others are just fools and have nothing to back it up.
THEY are dairy producers, for one. Do you ever get informed by any kind of news or self investigation about things that are going on around you? Doesn't seem so. Otherwise you might know what this person is referring to. Maybe they don't have the specific articles at their fingertips at this exact moment to stifle your over reaching cockiness but they are true allegations nonetheless.

Do you consider hearing anecdotes as evidence?

Great - now hand over the evidence or IT DOESN'T HAPPEN. Mod cut. The burden of proof is entirely on the people making the accusation.

It should be incredibly easy in 2015, when everyone in the world has cameras on their phones and are linked up to everyone else in the entire world in a split second, to show "them" (who specifically, again?) driving busloads of illegal workers to "rural areas." I mean, they've been doing it for years, right?

I could make up all kinds of stuff, too - "did you hear, C-D poster 'Guil' is in actuality paid by a White Power group to disparage minorities on message boards." And while some people would likely believe it without anything outside of the anecdotal evidence I just gave, the rest of us prefer fact over heresay. The burden of proof is entirely on the people making the accusation.

"It should be incredibly easy in 2015." Then why is it so difficult for you to find info? Mod cut.

Exactly what I thought! Why is no one outside of his office protesting this? Or sending him letters, etc?
I get that most people want to be left alone to live their lives but this stuff is the kind of thing that needs the people to demand better.

Honestly, if it's okay with Wisconsin, that's their business. If they are passively accepting this sort of thing, so be it - for Wisconsin. But I hope Democrats make sure the rest of the country knows what Walker is about and beats this like a drum along with all his other grand plans. Seven day work weeks and no minimum wage? For a guy without a college degree, he sure does seem to like the idea of a caste system.
