Merry Christmas.
Epiphanies come in many forms, and I suppose that a radio program - unbiased as it surely was
- is a viable venue. But blasphemy? - hard to equate. Hypocracy, maybe, but blasphemy...nah.
You may have legitimate reasons for hating unions. Since their primary purpose is to protect their members from unscrupled management - not that we could find any of THAT - they do so with typical vigor. This leads to lots of seeming disconnects, like productivity-killing rules and agreements, but in the end those agreements do what their primary mission was. They do also sometimes give rise to much worse, as in companies folding and jobs going away completely. It happens, altho to blame it all on the unions is a real stretch.
Buy a Cobra, Mike, and put it together. THEN you will be driving a non-union built car (assuming you're no longer a union member). Because even Toyota, Kia, Mitsubishi, et.al. all buy parts from union-affiliated companies.
