2/ Oh, absolutely. The threat of the mob on your future earnings is real - nay, HUGE - in NPV terms. I guess my point is >>>https://twitter.com/mr_archenemy/status/1167097288449253376 …

3/ Well, let me back up and tell a story. I was about 8 years old when I was talking with my dad and he mentioned something about unions and strikes. I'd never heard of either, so he explained.

4/ He came from a union family, and thought that by c 1980 unions had gone too far, but were basically good. So he explained unions to me. And I was AGHAST. I immediately said "if I owned a factory and the workers went on strike I WOULD BURN DOWN THE ENTIRE FACTORY AND LAUGH"

6/ I've always hated the mob, and have always preferred to be knocked down, bloody yet defiant, rather than give in to their demands. This explains how I got in so many fights in middle school (and afterwards). Better to be bloody than cuck.

8/ You're absolutely right; at the age of 8 I did not understand the history of unions. Now that I'm more mature I recant my earlier moderate go-along-to-get-along opinion regarding them.https://twitter.com/packtray/status/1167098705054437377 …

It's hard to understate how much social animals run on that sort of gratification, but I think the disruption matters a bit more than even that.

For example, in the 'happy ending' for David French's recent "Courage" piece, despite the college's best efforts, both ladies were able to land on their feet with new careers. In political commentary. I think I'd rather chew glass.

it's a little bit more than just a cash-on-hand issue, though? as in, what future opportunities become closed off to you that you either think you'll need, or just want?

Inused to think that, then I realized that the world is big enough that I would have to MAJORLY fuck up to have any meaningful long term future impact.
