Unions are trash..
There was a time when they actually did something for their members.
Now if you're lucky they simply make it hard to fire workers with or without cause.
Every grocery store in my town pays more than my employer and none of them are union but we are.

Unfortunately it will never exist in my lifetime.
So we need to use nuclear energy to get us through this period of pre-fusion energy for society.

Adult children will say "Well if you don't vote you can't complain"
