    I’d take that job and sabotage the shit out of their efforts. Anyone in the position actually get on that team should do the same.

    They’re just so much easier to fool into voting against their own best interests

    I already support unions (in one) and adore teachers because I pretty much worship at the church of education. They have one of the most important jobs in society. It’s kinda hard to make me more sympathetic to their plight, but hey, you did it.

    My high school was union free and was the best high school because of it. Well, that and how Solvay, NY teachers have sex with students, like Ashley Ramirez, who tore my heart out for a better grade. True story.

    They should ask Matt Bevin how things went when he tried to mess with the Kentucky teachers’ unions.

    Spoiler: We got Andy Beshear as governor.

    (Yes, it’s more nuanced than that. He was screwing with more public servants than just the teachers. But the teachers’ not-legally-a-strike was highly effective, and I personally knew Republican teachers who actively campaigned against Bevin.)

    They’ve done the decades of work to turn people against unions, convincing MAGAts that unions are proto-communist organizations that extort unfair wages though dishonest practices while sitting around not working. They have people looking over at them saying “how come you get paid so much?” Instead of “I should get paid that much too.”

    People are dumb. Whatcha gonna do.

    I never understood why they burned witches but now I see how that would be a satisfying conclusion to some events.

      Why? They were well-read women, aka “woke women” so they “sent a message” (don’t mess with the patriarchy). Also, King James, his Witch General Finders, and the “demonologists” were all men, and they found women an easier target to do bad things too. They argued that “their feminine wiles” misled many men; therefore, they’re in cahoots with the dark side.

        Are you complaining that it wouldn’t be politically correct? What method of tortuous execution better fits with your morals?
