Reply #2: Had a "dicussion" with a neocon coworker

[Populist_Prole]

a Fox news watching Atlas Shrugged reading loudmouth. We're both union members too, though he clearly takes his for granted. I can't get over how they think they try to de-link free-market fundamentalism from their own situations.

I asked if he thought that if cons totally eviscerate public employee unions, did he really think they wouldn't come after private ones? That there will be a "next" after they get their way here? He hemmed and hawwed, and said maybe it might not be so bad to cut out a middleman between the company and us. I asked: "Do you really think that if the union was gone, your terms of employment ( compensation, work-rules ) would be the same as now?" More hemming and haw-ing. He brought up terrorism, guns and socialism blah blah blah. A just said he's too much for Hollywood.

What a fucking idiot.
