Do they realize how strange they sound?
Listening to news coverage of Wisconsin teachers protesting a proposed law to save the state from bankruptcy.
With quavering intensity, one teacher says "I don't know what I'll do if this passes. I haven't thought that far ahead."
She's not talking about losing her job or losing her life or losing her house. She's not talking about the state bankruptcy that will result if the status quo continues. No, she's only talking about losing collective bargaining. She's talking about a change that will SAVE her fucking job, and she can't begin to imagine how she will get through life with the new rules that will SAVE her fucking job from a state bankruptcy.
Do these fuckheads realize that the VAST MAJORITY of Americans somehow get along through a full lifetime without collective bargaining? Do these fuckheads realize that the VAST MAJORITY of Americans aren't even sure what collective bargaining is? Do these fuckheads realize that the VAST MAJORITY of Americans have never worried for even a millisecond about the lack of collective bargaining? Do these fuckheads expect anyone outside their own union to sympathize with them for a millisecond? Even the Commie media are finding it hard to develop the requisite level of sympathy for these fuckheads.

Sidebar: If the unionized teachers in other states have any desire to keep their current benefits and salaries, they should be urgently ordering the Wisconsin teachers to stop this strike. A lot of Americans who don't normally think about the economics of schools are suddenly thinking hard about the subject, and some of the thoughts are unfair. We're hearing a lot of talk about how teaching is easy because of the short days and three-month vacation. This is unfair. Teaching is very hard work, and most teachers need the long break to maintain sanity. But it's impossible to think fairly when you see people who make more money than you do leaving their job and taking the students with them, to make a bunch of irritating noise about potentially losing some "rights" that you never had in the first place!
It's parallel to the situation with the "global warming" scam. Because one small branch of science has turned rotten and taken up grand theft and mass murder, all other branches of science are besmirched. Other scientists still haven't spoken up in any numbers; other scientists still appear to be in concord with the genocidal Carbon Cult, and often state their agreement with the criminals. The public can only conclude that all science serves to enrich George Soros and Maurice Strong; that all science wants the human race to disappear. If honest scientists wanted to maintain their reputation, they should have spoken up a long time ago, should have debunked the Carbon Cult in detail with a massive joint publication occupying every page of every issue of every scientific journal until the Carbon Cult was brought down. In other words, they should have treated Gaians the same way they currently treat Christians.
