Sure. Let's start with the police, and then we'll go after whichever next union is killing people across the country. Edit: Your downvotes only make it more obvious that you don't really have a counterpoint to the police's homicidal tendencies nor their unions' participation in crafting legal protections for their actions.

> whichever next union is killing people across the country teachers' unions causing student suicides by refusing to let schools open like in the rest of the developed world?

  The rest of the developed world doesn't have 100k covid cases a day.

    What's "the rest of the developed world"? France has 21k new covid cases in a day, and a population of 67 million versus a population of 328 million in the US, so the per capita rate is almost identical. Other west European countries at least are similar, usually slightly lower, but not dramatically lower e.g. by orders of magnitude.

    The rest of the developed world isn't in a very different position with respect to covid. The US is around 30 cases/100k/day and the EU is around 20 cases/100k/day https://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/?chart=countries-normalized&highlight=United%20Kingdom&show=25-lg&y=both&scale=linear&data=cases-daily-7&data-source=jhu&xaxis=right-12wk&extra=United%20States%2CEuropean%20Union%2CSwitzerland%2CFrance%2CSpain#countries-normalized https://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/?chart=countr...

  Yeah let's hate on teachers because.. checks notes... they don't want to die due to a disproportionate amount of them being in covid high risk groups.

    Even CDC says it's safe to open schools - kids are not a major transmission vector. How come private and Catholic schools are open and there isn't a massive spike in Covid cases? Do you think it's fine for American kids to be even further behind in today's global skill race?

      > Even CDC says it's safe to open schools - kids are not a major transmission vector. The last time I heard of a local government opening schools with the "not a major transmission vector" argument was in Berlin, and they had no grasp on infection tracing. Yes, kids tend to be asymptomatic. But asymptomatic carriers are still infectious. > How come private and Catholic schools are open and there isn't a massive spike in Covid cases? Because that's just a small section of the population.

  That’s on par with busting the plumbers union because people die in their bathtubs. It’s a bad faith argument and your bias is showing.
