What are you going on about?
If labor and ownership can agree to those things, fine. If not, both can keep looking for the best situation.
The more you force on the business owner, the higher the rate of unemployment.

Americans, the USA variety, have been enriching the rest of the planet by buying their junk, by sending American jobs overseas, by keeping sea lanes open to name several.

Let's see, what nation invented the internet? Norway? Finland? UK? China? Cuba? Duhhhhhhh.......

What nation put GPS together that the worlds air and sea traffic use to get to their destinations more safely than ever? That was Argentina or was it Brazil. Hmmmm.....

What nation has kept Japan, Korea and China from going to war for decades? What country has kept the Koreas from continuing their fighting resulting in a prosperous South Korea. That would be Liberia I think.

What is the number one trading partner of the US and has been for many, many years? Canada. What country has the largest embassy in Washington, DC closest to the US Capitol building and the White House? Canada. What country do Canadians go to mostly when they don't want to wait in the national health plan queue? That would be the USA.

What country do other nations hope to goodness doesn't bail out of the international security arena? USA. Do some homework on this one if you don't believe it. If not the USA, then who? The US is the only truly international country. There are older Vietnamese who still hope for the US to return.

USA, USA, USA, USA.

Less than one half of one percent of Canadians go to the US for health care.
Which countries do Americans go to mostly because when they can't afford the ridiculously overinflated health care costs? India. Mexico. Thailand.

Now you are discussing labor/management issues, many of those benefits were put in place to draw good workers to their companies not pushed on them by labor unions or the government. I find it interesting that some companies that are doing this are not even companies that have unions involved with them? Face it businesses will make any excuse to save a buck, that includes do whatever they want at the expense of their workers, cutting benefits, vacation time, salaries and off-shoring jobs are just a few of their new tactics.

Come one Casper. We don’t have a man crush on Putin. We just look at that guy and see a guy, who is a guy, then we look at our guy and he looks like a 14 year old girl when he rides a bicycle....

Then there is the whole bowing to everyone else in the world.

Apology tours.

Drawing fake lines in the sand then telling anyone listening "I DIDNT DO THAT".... which is kind of like when he told everyone not listening "YOU DIDNT DO THAT"

They have a bully. We have a petulant yet fickle adolescent. As absurd as it may be, comparisons will be made. You’re just stuck with the reality that your guy fails the comparisons...
