The Union Movement was a critical factor in the rise of the American Middle Class. Without it the U.S. would still be a two-class society consisting of the rich and the obedient, groveling poor, working long, hard hours just to maintain a low living standard.
A fact many Americans seem to have forgotten, as without workers organizations the corporations would treat workers as badly as they did in the early days of industry.
Pure and perfect liberal ignorance. Proof that a liberal will have the IQ of a child!!
Corporations have to offer the best jobs and products possible just to survive!!
It is inconceivable that a person would not know that until you consider that some people are liberals!!
Yawn. Calling someone an idiot is not an argument, rather the logical fallacy 'ad hominem'. It is history Edward, 19th to early 20th to be precise. If you want to see how corporations operate when they don't have to keep good work safety standards or have to pay their workers well, then look at how US and Chinese corporations operate in China.
Corporations have to offer the best jobs and products possible just to survive!!
please rewrite this 100 times then post on fridge for daily review!!
If its over your head please try to ask an intelligent question about it. As a liberal we assume it will be over your head since liberalism is based in ignorance, but you must try anyway.
Nope, that has never been the case. There is no such thing in a consumer market as a 'best product', only a 'best marketed product', or a product with features most in tune to a large number of people at the time*. Many of the products we use today, perhaps were not marketable a decade ago, and might not be marketable in the future.
However corporations can offer terrible products, have a bad reputation, and still survive very well due to marketing and government lobbying - like weapons companies, agricultural companies like Monsanto, and private military companies like Blackwater. People work where the pay is if they have enough qualifications, but most just have to accept whatever job is out there - to suggest that someone works at a corporation because it is the 'best job available' probably only relates to a very small percentage, not even CEOs who do it largely for the money or for a challenge.
Finally, 'Liberal' like most generalizations is silly and ineffective when used against individuals not part of US political organizations, but it seems to be a slur people like to throw around these days, not that it actually means anything more than 'conservative', 'right wing', 'left wing' and so on.
*Feasibly a Samsung phone, an iPhone, and so on are all useful products, but it is marketing and feature differences in tune to certain demographics that get people to buy them.
This is a perfect example of how people come up with terrible conclusions, based on biased unsupported data.
Monsanto is a great company, that provides massive value to it's customers. You have listened to a bunch of biased, ignorance based reporting by lousy sources, and therefore assume:
"Big companies can still survived even though they have terrible products and bad reputation"
Monsanto doesn't have a terrible reputation, except in leftard land, where all corporations are bad, and Monsanto happens to be a big one.
But see, leftard land... isn't reality. Go talk to the millions of farmers across the entire world, and ask them how horrible Monsanto is, when they use them every single year. But this is how leftards think. They talk to other leftards, and all the leftards tell each other how bad Company X is, and suddenly "corporations can offer terrible products, have a bad reputation, and still survive very well due to marketing and government lobbying!". No, you just think their products are all terrible, and they have a bad reputation. But you leftards, are not 'everyone', and not 'everyone' believes they have a bad reputations or products. Not everyone is a brainless leftard.
Now perhaps you could even come up with a real example of what you suggest. Or even two.
How many corporations exist world wide?
Over the broad capitalist system world wide, how many fit into your narrow mold?
And here's the real kicker. You are actually correct that there are a few companies that exist only because government gives money to them. You failed to list any of them. Let me help you out.....

These, and dozens of other multinational companies, are Carbon Credit trading companies. All of these, and many other companies involved in 'renewable energy' and other eco-legislation, which have lobbied MILLIONS to try and push Cap and Trade legislation in the US.
Which by the way..... Monsanto is one of them. It's true! Monsanto is pushing for the use of Soy, in biofuels, which the government subsidizes. Additionally, Monsanto has collected millions for Ethanol. And Monsanto is now working with Sapphire Energy, another green-energy company spending millions on lobbying, to create oil from Algae.... biofuel, which will also be subsidized by the government.
Monsanto has, as part of this business strategy, pushed for Cap and Trade, believing that will drive up demand for it's products.
Like I said... this is the real kicker. You leftards, who complain constantly about big companies lobbying government for money.... you people are the ones who make that happen. You people are the ones constantly in the pocket of big business, even while you complain about it.
You ***** and moan constantly about Monsanto, and then turn around and support the very policies that Monsanto wants, to make themselves wealthy at your expense. We on the conservative right-wing, would never support taxing us, to give out green energy grants, or biofuel subsidies, or money for 'algae research'. But you leftards, like the obedient corporate stooges you are, moronically parrot the need for all of these, and Monsanto laughs all the way to the bank.
And by the way.... I did say Monsanto is a good company that produces a good product, and I still believe that. Most of their core business, is very good products. They also produce crap like Ethanol. Granted the only reason they produce crap products, is because of moronic leftists who pay them to do so. Again, you people are the ones that pay companies to make crap products. Not us. No conservative right-winger supports Ethanol, or paying companies for it.
