What problems do day traders create??? Do you know who makes up most day traders??? The working classes punting on stocks, retired people and the public in general.
If you’re going to throw stones, at least get your terminology correct.
or Day Traders.
benson, typical of the HUGE amount of waste and productivity losses that unions heap on the US.
Hey Joe;
Please explain to the taxpayers why they should put up with this nonsense from the bus drivers’ union, at a time when fares are going up and services cut:

dont you ever see those movies with those corporate secretaries all frazzled out and stuff?
i dont know about doormen.. seems kinda easy
*rob*

The least these people could do is become secretaries and get me my coffee in the morning. It’s not a demanding job.
um. i beg to differ

Joe;
You’re deluding yourself over this union issue. No one is arguing with their right to collective bargaining. What M4L states above is correct. Just as the workers have a right to stand up for themselves, so do the owners of these buildings, INCLUDING finding replacements for these doormen if their demands are excessive.
Moreover, you conveniently forget that the civil-service unions rig the game in their favor with their excessive political lobbying.
Keep your head in the sand regarding civil-service unions, as they themselves are doing, and just watch as taxpayer anger grows. I play cards every couple of weeks with a group of civil servants. Their whole mentality is what they are “entitled” to.
Good one, Joe. No training whatsoever required for that one.
Um, if homeless people (who are mostly mentally ill) could work for rent, then they wouldn’t be homeless. Am I missing something?
The “productive people who never get handouts and are taxed to death” are the ones who are the most productive. They are the few that pay the most taxes and they are getting sick and tired of it.
Collective bargaining is a constitutional right?? Which article????????????????????
