- guywithahat 2y agoThe richest city in the US (Detroit) was completely obliterated by unions. Companies are terrified of unions, and will spend tens of millions now to avoid losing hundreds of millions later. Worst part is all those losses don’t even go to the employees, the losses form through lost productivity. I honestly wouldn’t be upset to see the NRLB go away; it was a good experiment but we now conclusively know it hurts workers.

- e40 2y agoBold statements require proof. Please tell us how unions killed Detroit.
- guywithahat 2y agoThere is nothing bold about that statement, it's the generally accepted history of Detroit.
