(I don't mean in simply paying people less, but rather that industries afflicted by unions are sclerotic so have left lots undone.)

@paulg No, you mean paying people less. -
@cmall No I don't. A company trying to cut costs is happy to improve profits 10%. That is a couple weeks growth for a startup. -
@paulg "Startup culture" favours quick money for founders over fostering sustainable employment. The only progress unions stifle is that 1/2 -
@cmall That's false too. The really successful founders are the ones who think long term. -
@cmall In startups, quick money is small money. Orders of magnitude smaller.

@paulg by “energy released by startups” you mean “money to be squeezed out by and for the wealthy” right? -
@the_real_rotor No, I mean new products and services that could be created. -
@paulg unions are not standing in the way of creating new prods & svcs except by demanding a decent wage for their members -
@the_real_rotor@paulg and by refusing to do work that's not in their job description. -
@typesfast@the_real_rotor@paulg That is not restricted to unions. -
@FLRealist@the_real_rotor@paulg yes but you fire people who behave like that unless they are in a union -
@typesfast@FLRealist@paulg people who say things like this have clearly never worked at a large company -
@the_real_rotor@FLRealist@paulg you confirm Paul's original point. Big companies also ripe for disruption for same reason
