Ronald Reagan Has Shaped U.S. Labor Law for Decades

1. Important history

Thank you Omaha Steve, for this level of detail and context.

I often wonder at how different the USA would’ve been with a 2nd Carter term, or at least a President Al Gore. By the time we got to 2016, so much damage had already been done, the pattern had calcified that we as a nation would continue to collectively destroy ourselves. I didn’t want to believe it, still don’t, but time and again I see too many whose emotions override their senses to the point of self-destruction.

Ironically, the worst offenders are those whose lives would benefit most by a strong labor position. But as a group, they just can’t get their shit together - they always need their “enemies”, and ultimately that blinds them.
