You are putting words in my mouth that I never said. Unions as an idea are not bad. However their implementation over the years has done a number of things that are bad.
Why not? We have a number of examples here of someone who has fallen for pro-union propaganda.
And unions doing foolish things that make them a bad option.
Scribes generally do a good job of checking that they didn’t make an error in transcription . It like likely that what we have is what was written down around ad40-ad90. (Years approximate). Things were written mostly by eyewitness or those who interviewed eye witnesses. The whole reads like it.
Of course things were translated to Greek, it is unlikely that the words were spoken in that language.
Long term they do, but often it is lumpy where your pay loses for a few years and then they adjust it up.
Even if your pay isn’t matching inflation, it can still go up more than rent
Typically you see relative to inflation. While your rent doesn’t go down, because of inflation you are probably making more money and so your real rent goes down. In some cases you rent can even go up, yet relative to inflation it goes down.
Your city needs to build more if there is a problem. People who live there should not have more rights than people who visit.
Airbnb is a lot better than a hotel for families: you get several bedrooms plus a full kitchen for a similar price to a hotel that only gives you two beds in a room. That kitchen will save a typical family $100/day over a hotel if they cook their own meals.
China is also saber rattling with Vietnam. Taiwan is China’s current priority, but Vietnam see themselves as on the list .
Maybe, Xi seems just sane enough not to try, but who knows. China and Russia can’t really win against NATO though they make things harder. India likely hates China enough to join NATO as well.
Of course we are talking nuclear armed countries so everyone loses is possible.
There isn’t anyone really on that side . China and NATO have differences, but China doesn’t have anything to gain from helping Russia, and nthey lose a lot is NATO loses. They will sit out. Similar with India, they will stay out . Iran or a few other small counties might consider joining, but I doubt it as most are smart enough to know that is suicide.
The amount of fuel saved is insignificant overall. The airplane still needs to fly and that is where most fuel goes ’
Taxes just come out of higher rent and push people who otherwise should rent to buying a house that isn’t right foe them
Renting is the right choice for some people. Corporations have to obey stronger laws than mom and pops and are in my experience more likely to keep the houses updated.
That is a bad idea as owning a house isn’t right for everyone.
No iy wouldn’t. You still have limits to how much current can it can transfer. I don’t know what happens when you reach the limits, but I know they exist. I also know the papers are claiming the limit is low, but I.have no idea what low means (I saw a.number but I can’t read it)
There are a lot more than 59 missing children at any time. There are hundreds of millions of people in the US, a few will go missing all the time.
most missing children are with their other parent who is hiding from court ordered custody, and thus don’t even know they are missing. However kidnapping (often for sex) does happen once in a while, it takes time for the FBI to track these down and in the mean time those doing it have time to kidnap a 58 more kids.
there is nothing unique about the US here. all countries have similar problems, as criminals are everywhere and it takes time for law enforcement to track down any particular criminal.

Just because the unions do it does not mean it is for the mutual benefit of union members. They often have policies that are for the benefit of the worker who has been there for a long time against the younger workers. They often have policies that are against someone who wants to leave the union for a management role at some time.
