re: Kamala calls for ending 1099 employment and banning states from having right to work laws

Orange walks a fine line when talking to those guys. He can't say too much about being pro-labor, so he usually says if you vote Dem, you'll be out of a job.

Stable Genius move. All the other side does is lie so Im fine if orange is doing the same to win

I like being a 1099 "employee." Allows me to write off stuff I wouldn't otherwise be able to write off as a W-2 employee.

I think this regional distinction is probably just mostly a function of what it takes (or historically took) to get and hold a blue collar type job - nothing more, nothing less.

In the North union membership was often necessary, whereas in the South it largely wasn’t and workers there were generally happy with their situations here without it.

I don't disagree. I almost added in a part about the South's economic rise was on the back of companies leaving union shop states and opening factories in right to work states. It's what we know and how we identify economic opportunity (as opposed to the opposite view in the Midwest/Northeast).

Given the population posting, and the lack of conflict, I didn't think my typical over-explaining was necessary, for the record.

I don’t get what the gotcha is here.

There was no gotcha.

The non-Southern posters sometimes need slight clarification on Southern culture.

I guess I’m just not getting how you are trying to tie this into some sort of disparagement of “MAGA.”

Nothing about that particular post had anything to do with MAGA.

That is about as un-American as anything else that dumb bitch has said. There are millions of people in this country who do a little work on the side as 1099 filers.

Between the wife and me, we file over a dozen 1099s each year, and there simply isn't a union for every fricking job under the sun.

I happen to be a union member by choice. I absolutely believe that's how it should be - a CHOICE.

I thought Dems were all about CHOICE - as long as that choice ends up with a dead baby.

My position on this is limited to private companies, though. Public unions are strange to me, and this is coming from the son of a teacher.

I'm with you on this in that I believe private sector unions are not a problem. The company and the union can collectively bargain.

On the other hand, public sector unions should be outlawed. No less than a hero of the Left, FDR, thought government employees should not be permitted to collectively bargain. From the NYT-

"President Franklin Roosevelt wrote that the process of collective bargaining had “insurmountable limitations when applied to public personnel management.” He believed that the employer of government workers was the people and Congress represented the people in determining government employee pay. In practice, the insurmountable problem with government unions is that there is no effective representative of the people in negotiations."

frick this bitch and frick anyone stupid enough to vote for her!

It is insane. I truly believe our system is out to destroy everything. And that includes once well-paying careers in anything medical related.

You're not wrong... it's their whole charge to find ways NOT to pay for our services, services that have been deemed medically necessary!

I'm set to pay thousands the next few months to bolster my tech and implement generative and reverse AI scrubbing to protect myself against the AI they have implemented to find tiny deficiencies with my documentation and remit payment.

It's wild how much you have to dedicate to non-clinical things to keep your clinics afloat from a system looking to torpedo them.
