Re: Topic: Saving Labor Unions
I don't even know what we're debating anymore.
My point was that the US can be on top of any industry but, worker conditions prevent us from doing so and NOT that we are just not that good anymore.
I'm not suggesting that Koreans are more capable than Americans. I agree that the US cannot compete because they are unwilling to work and be compensated more like Koreans.
But beyond that, I'm suggesting that a Korean LCD worker's lot in life isn't unreasonable despite the fact that Americans don't like it. It isn't child labor.

And the freeway isn't the only socialist road system. Almost every road in the country is a socialist road. When was the last time you and your buddies put some cash together to build a road?
You have been making good points, but perhaps you are getting bogged down in the details. In housing developments it is pretty common for the roads to be privately constructed. And although I don't live in a development, I and the other homeowners on my block had to pay for the city to pave our street.
Alternatively you could finish crossing the bridge and let the big billy goat gruff respond to Artemis.
