WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THE PROBLEM...
IT'S GETTING SO BAD THAT IT'S VIRUTALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A POST ACCEPTED!

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS POST!
WHY IS IT BEING HELD ******* FOR AN "APPROVAL"???
AND WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG... IF EVER... TO BE APPROVED???

Hold on, your comment is waiting for approval.

Consider this, Robert...
Workers... work for the company!
What possible benefit would it be for workers to antagonistically cause the company to suffer? That would be blatantly contradictory!

What's is contradictory... in fact it's the reason unions exist...
Is that companies, unfortunately, are often so adversarial and controlling that their workers feel unnecessarily disrespected and abused!
Now, Jim is right... if workers don't like it, they can find new jobs elsewhere! But what does that really accomplish? Nothing positive!

What it does accomplish is leave a company with (usually) underpaid, disgruntled, and inexperienced workers... which is not good for the company, the employees, or the community!

But somehow that's justified in the eyes of some... even admired and rewarded!

One very public example...
Due to MIS-management, a major corporation chose to declare bankruptcy (it makes them "smart", remember... and "good businessmen!").

During that bankruptcy, in which unions have virtually NO say in the matter... wages and work rules were cut back by at least a decade, pension plans terminated, jobs lost... etc, etc, etc...!

At the close of bankruptcy, the BOD rewarded the same executives responsible for the MIS-management and bankruptcy with hundreds of millions of dollars in raises and bonuses!

Like thieves in the night...
The money went from the workers' pockets...
Directly into the pockets of the executives!

Ain't capitalism great!

HERE WE GO AGAIN...
ANOTHER AUTOMATIC REJECTION!!!
AFTER USING THE EXACT SAME VERBAGE I WAS RESPONDING TO... WHAT THE ****!!!

I guess that would put you in the category of one of "the simples"!

The real problem, Jim...
Is that people (like you?) so adamantly refuse to recognize there IS a problem!

It's fine and dandy to put all the blame (as you do) on individuals, chastising them for being frustrated and angry at the treatment they DO receive... and suggesting that the ONLY solution is for them to put on their big boy panties and deal with the situation!

Not to say that is not a valuable suggestion!
As there are "millions of successful black people" who have negotiated the racist maze of education, housing, employment, lack of respect, and any of the myriad other "challenges" society has placed in their path.

And good for them!

But that, in and of itself, will not solve the problem!
Because not everyone has the will, fortitude, or the ability to negotiate that maze!

And why should ALL the responsibility fall on those facing those "challenges"?

Shouldn't that responsibility be shared by those who actually create them... by taking steps to remove them in the first place?

Failing to acknowledge that balance of responsibility is failure to recognize there's a problem!

And THAT is a problem!

REALLY???
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN THIS POST THAT IS QUESTIONABLE IN THE LEAST...!
WHY IS IT EVEN BEING HELD UP FOR "APPROVAL"???
DISGUSTING AND UNACCEPTABLE!!

Hold on, your comment is waiting for approval.

Fair enough point, Kevin...
About how racist/sexist ideology should not be the sole basis for employment , and that it would be illegal in any other job.

Although, I disagree with that position in this situation!

First... this is not just any job...
And, she did not apply for it either.

She was selected from among a rather small pool of candidates... all of whom, I would assume, are highly qualified!

Second, and I think most importantly...
There is NOTHING to say that no matter HOW she was selected, that she's any less qualified than any other candidate!

I seriously doubt that any president would nominate someone they felt was LESS than qualified, simply to fulfill an agenda... although they all have a specific preference for a candidate's judicial style.

Another layer to the question of qualification is that the nominee must be approved by the Senate! That, I believe, is where agenda over qualification is more likely to be played out.

Finally, I agree that it would have behooved Biden to not have announced his intentions so publicly... which was done as an obvious campaign strategy... although the racist/sexist ideology has been a less obvious, unspoken practice throughout our history, until very recently.

OH GOOD LORD... Y'ALL ARE STILL AT IT... AND GETTING WORSE!
WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?

I find it interesting, in an unfortunate way, Lora...
That conservatives are so quick to unnecessarily assume the right to limit so many forms of freedoms and expression... as represented by this bill...

Yet feel justified in turning right around and contradicting their own concerns and cautions about assumed liberal efforts to limit freedoms and expressions... with the additional and unsubstantiated accusation of their having a continued desire to take away even more freedoms!
Which is exactly the concern about the consequences of this bill!

Add to that the audacity to presume that anyone has the right to exclude ANY American... i.e. non-parents... from having an opinion on a matter that affects every American!

Seems to me that's a pretty good example of hypocrisy!

ANOTHER RIDICULOUS CASE OF A POST REQUIREING "APPROVAL"... WHICH SOOO OFTEN NEVER HAPPENS... LEAVING A PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE POST HANGING IN LIMBO FOREVER!

Interesting similarities between “the happiest [Nordic] countries in the world”; They all espouse Democratic-Socialist economic, social, and cultural practices that includes a comprehensive welfare system, with the goal of individual autonomy and social mobility. They practice collective bargaining based on social corporatism, with a high percentage of the workforce unionized, and employed in the public sector. They’re highly democratic, with a single, highly efficient, proportionally elected legislative chamber. They’re currently expanding private ownership, including in the public sector, increasing efforts of deregulation, and an increase in social investments. Those certainly are terrible consequences of being the happiest Democratic-Socialist countries in the world!

OH FOR CHRIST'S SAKE...
NOT ONLY IS THIS AN ABSURD "REJECTION"...
BUT APPARENTLY, YOU NO LONGER GIVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EDITING OR CORRECTION AS YOU CLAIM YOU DO! SO, I EDITED IT MYSELF, AND YOU "STILL" REJECTED IT FOR NO REASON! AND NOW YOU PUT ME AT RISK OF NOT BEING ABLE TO MAKE ANY FURTHER POSTS... THANKS!!!

PATHETIC!

That's too bad you see it that way (or not), Paul...
Because EVERY American has benefited from the work unions do...

Whether you've ever been a union member or not! But...

Congratulations on swallowing the conservative, right-wing, anti-union hook so thoroughly that you can't see the reality for the rhetoric!

Clearly, you've spent 40 years swallowing the conservative, right-wing, anti-union hook so thoroughly that you can't see reality for the rhetoric!

WHILE THE FOLLOWING IS A STERN RESPONSE TO "JIM ON THE COAST" POST... IT WAS FAR LESS OFFENSIVE THAN THE JUVENILE NAME CALLING AND IMPUNING HE POSTED ABOUT ME... WHICH WAS ALLOWED TO REMAIN ON THE BOARD! YET YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO SUMMARILY REJECT MY COMMENT WITHOUT EVEN A WARNING!

YOUR HYPOCRISY IS ASTOUNDING!

I'm sure, Jim...
Given your highly elevated opinion of yourself and your posts...
That you have absolutely no idea how hilarious you AND your posts are!

It's your opinion that I "start arguments with virtually everyone!..."
Which I take as simply your way of acknowledging that I speak my mind...

The fact that it bothers you that I often do so in contradiction to YOUR opinions...

Is more a statement about YOUR insecurities than about my opinions!

Which is also the case for your juvenile personal attacks and name calling!

But you ARE right in that "I won't let it go"...
Because I DON'T HAVE TO let it go...!

Besides... it's kinda fun watching you get your self-righteous self all triggered up and POed over it!

Grow up, Dood!
