A CEO invents a way to make more cookies more efficintly. For the same raw materials and same labor he can make 100 more cookies, meaning everyone has more cookies for less money.
The CEO is compensated 10 cookies for his ingenuity.
The union boss gets wind that the company will be making more profits. The union workers won’t be doing any more work. In fact, their jobs will be made slightly easier. But the union boss knows that he’s got the company by the balls and threatens work slowdowns, stoppages, etc. unless his guys are compensated with more cookies. The union workers are already earning twice as many cookies as a free market laborer would earn.
“McDonald’s wants to get people in the store. Once a day, once a week, once a month, the more the better, of course, but routinely. And if you buy oatmeal, they’re O.K. with that. But they know that, once inside, you’ll probably opt for a sausage biscuit anyway”
That’s called survival of the fittest, rf. The other two pussies just backed off, now they have nothing and only themselves to blame.
Did you want the government to step in and divvy up the cookies at the same time charging each one of them a tax so that society as a whole is left with less???
A public union employee, a tea party activist, and a CEO are sitting at a table with a plate of a dozen cookies in the middle of it. The CEO takes 11 of the cookies, turns to the tea partier and says, “Watch out for that union guy. He wants a piece of your cookie.”
Pure sugar is known to doctors as “white death.” It’s the worst thing you could possibly eat, like in sodas as well. HFCS is the exact same thing as pure cane sugar from a physiological standpoint. brown sugar is refined sugar as well and the same problem.

Otherwise got lots of things done during oscars, lunch for a couple of days, ironing for the week, filed all paperwork for coop taxes.
Most productive sunday in a while, inspite of lso at lincoln center and avoce after.
