unions?
- pcardh0 11y agoMost Hacker News commenters don't understand the dynamics of unions. Don't bother trying to explain it to them, they are too smart to understand.
- dang 11y agoPlease don't post unsubstantive comments, such as snarky generalizations about the rest of the community. If you want to explain something, that's great; if not, it would be better to post nothing.

- epicureanideal 11y agoNot that I'm saying unions are the answer, but in a broad definition, unions are part of market forces. As is cooperation between companies. It just happens to be that the US prefers to introduce regulation with the stated intent of moving the economy closer to "perfect competition". Although clearly some regulation moves us toward monopoly, and all regulation has unintended effects, and obviously stated intent is different than actual intent. Phew. So many disclaimers in this comment...
