I think if we could externalize the benefits of unions such that they don't protect the willfully lazy and don't hinder the brilliant, that might be the best of both worlds.
- philwelch 11y agoBut, like crdoconnor says, unions are an exercise in democracy--and the majority of the workforce are not brilliant.
- rancur 11y agonever said democracy was good. A benevolent dictator externally motivated by serving his subjects is a much better government. for example, Jesus.

- dragonwriter 11y ago> A benevolent dictator externally motivated by serving his subjects is a much better government. Not sure that's generally true; a perfectly benevolent, non-omniscient dictator could be quite bad. Not that "perfectly benevolent dictator" is a real option as a long-term form of government. > for example, Jesus. Jesus may have been perfectly benevolent, but isn't much of an example of benevolent dictatorship as a better form of government.
