My disdain is for today's "selective conservatism". People singing the praises of unbridled free and unobstructed capitalism but demand protections from it such as labor unions that provide wage and workplace protections or things like consumer protection laws, banking laws, financial protection laws, utility rate laws, internet privacy laws, food safety laws etc. etc.
These are all things you would never see in an open and unbridled capitalist economy. Not my fault that you people never bothered to actually take moment to think about what you would NOT have in that totally capitalist system.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
There are some believe it or not.
Of course. Why would they not want to work thanks to a closed union shop in a completely artificial pay rate system that in no way shape or form is based on the going open market pay for that type of labor.....But to your credit you've never tried to deny that fact.

The Scarecrow has escaped from Oz!
the Scarecrow is first introduced in the Munchkin Country, where he is found on a wooden pole in the cornfields. The Scarecrow is made of straw, has a head full of straw for a sack, blue paint on his face, and wears faded Munchkin clothing.

Exactly. Unbridled capitalism does not allow for the creation of a labor union. The creation of labor unions was entirely due to the need to reign in unbridled capitalism. The horror stories surrounding Carnegie, Ford, Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Morgan and the coal barons like Dixon, Collins, Scranton, etc.....The labor unions created the middle class....but it was legislation that created the unions.Too bad you didn’t stop to think about protection of your own in a labor union

When have we ever had unbridled capitalism? The point is capitalism and free markets, create wealth. Strong unions can step in and force these corporations to share the wealth, Never once said legislation doesn’t help. But it is a double edge sword, and can also hurt.

No it wasn't.
Facts matter.
The Wagner Act afforded unions legal standing nationwide including the right to organize and the right to collective bargaining. Prior to Wagner unions had a smaller, far less powerful presence in the American labor scene. And given it's weaker presence these days without Wagner labor unions would for the most part be pretty much nonexistent.
By a 3-1 margin. But, be on the lookout for what Volkswagen Group decides to do next. Given VW's market share in the states only about 10% VW publicly tossed around the idea of pulling the VW brand out of the US and focusing on the bigger margin brands Audi and Porsche.
Car market not what it once was 2 years ago.
