Trump's Supporters In Rural Areas Are In For A Nasty Surprise

/—-/ We have so many labor laws in place, they strangle companies. Union feather bedding is the worst.
Lol. You must watch cable news all day every day.

You’ve been brainwashed, but will deny it till the cows come home.

California’s largest business and labor groups agreed to change a landmark law that has helped workers sue companies such as Walmart Inc., Uber Technologies Inc. and Google for workplace violations.

The deal caps years of efforts by the state’s employers to rein in the Private Attorneys General Act, which they blame for mounting lawsuits that according to one study have cost businesses $10 billion during the past decade. Advocates say the law, known as PAGA, is a model of worker protection that has given employees a measure of recourse against powerful companies.

And you're fucking useless at it. Business development? Like exporting jobs to China?

Yeah, right.

The government and big business colluded to destroy unions in this country. This effort continues today.

Yes California has some ridiculous regulations but in many cases, those regulations effect public workers not private.

And this:

More complicated wage negotiations​

The recent changes have made wage negotiations more complicated for small businesses. Now, unions can negotiate deals that cover multiple employers, meaning small businesses might have to be part of collective bargaining, even if they haven’t been before. This could lead to higher wage demands, as deals might cover entire industries. For small businesses already working with tight budgets, these negotiations can be tough to handle.

Stronger employee rights and protections​

The new laws also give employees more rights and protections, which affects small businesses. The updates include a broader definition of casual employment, stricter rules about firing workers, and stronger entitlements like paid family and domestic violence leave. While these changes help protect workers, they could mean more costs and paperwork for small business owners. Keeping up with these new rules will take more time and resources, which can be hard for businesses with few staff members.

More workplace disputes​

The new industrial relations laws might also lead to more workplace disputes. With all the new rules about employment terms, there could be more misunderstandings or disagreements. Small business owners may need to spend more on legal help or dispute resolution to deal with these problems. More disputes can interrupt business operations, especially for small teams, and take time away from daily work.

Can you read?

Do you think government worker unions are the same private worker unions?
 
What supply chain problems?
The ones Trump dreamed up?

"But I think that they will. I think that energy is going to bring them down. I think a better supply chain is going to bring them down. You know, the supply chain is still broken. It's broken," Trump said.

NOT what Trump said.

abcnews.go.com · Politics · trump-now-bringingTrump now says bringing down grocery prices, as he promised ...


1 day ago · President-elect Donald Trump campaigned relentlessly on grocery prices in the 2024 race, vowing to bring down costs quickly for American families if given four more years in the white house.

"I won on the border, and I won on groceries," he told NBC's Kristen Welker. "Very simple word, groceries. Like almost -- you know, who uses the word? I started using the word -- the groceries. When you buy apples, when you buy bacon, when you buy eggs, they would double and triple the price over a short period of time, and I won an election based on that. We're going to bring those prices way down."
How is the supply chain broken? Makes no sense.
 
Always have been. The treatment of coal miners in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in West Virginia and Kentucky, is a good example of how labor is treated in the US.
The products we purchase from China are the same. And you love it. You have no complaints.
 
I was driving through coal mining country the other day. I went past this run down house with a barn falling down. They had Trump flags all over it. I initially thought "typical".

I think the same thing when I drive through the poor urban areas in large cities or across the tracks in my smallish city/town. (Successful people in my state don’t vote for Democrats) Knowing that 90%+ of them voted for Harris and anybody with D beside their name in every election and yet they still live in the squaller despite there being a Democratic president for 12 of the last 16 years. In the case of the large inner cities, many haven’t elected a Republican in decades and they wonder why nothing ever changes for them.

In four years all those people will still be poor and in reality most likely even poorer.
 
A nation is measured by how the poor are doing. Whether it's inner city or very rural were not doing a great job.

Neat.

The way to resolve that is not wealth distribution or pity. There must be a culture shift in those communities.

We have all heard the old proverb give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

We have given the poor fishing poles, bait, boats, and fish finders and yet many choose to sit in the house waiting on the fish to arrive at the door step…and it does. They teach their kids to ignore the tools they have been given because why put forth the effort if it is going to be delivered for free. Sure, they could perhaps catch a bigger fish and have something to mount on the wall, but the effort exceeds the reward. Many would prefer to complain that the fish delivered to their doorstep isn’t of sufficient quality and size and demand more for “free” rather than crank up the boat and bait their lines.

There are extenuating circumstances in some cases, but not in the majority.

How does the culture change begin? Remember being a great worker means little.

To continue with the analogy, tt starts by incentivizing people to fish. If they are hungry and tools are available that will allow them to eat, they will utilize those tools. The culture of not fishing won’t change as long as they are not forced to do so out of necessity.

I disagree that being a hard worker in the US is not rewarding. There are far too many examples of that not being the case.
