Flannery made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that: Of course, making fun of Eric is like shooting piscine prey in a barrel. On the other hand, the fact that they're in a barrel doesn't mean that the fish shouldn't be shot. It's going create quite a lot of splashed water though, isn't it? Depends on calibre and muzzle velocity. With fish like Eric, though, a shotgun is adequate, and one shot will do ya. |

On Wed, 16 Mar 2005 17:15:32 -0500, in a place far, far away, "Ami
Silberman" made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that: I kind of thought we would get to this. I did mean, though I wasn't clear, that a labor cartel (or union) might be necessary in order to give the employee's leverage when bargaining with the employer. A problem with unions is that they can become monopolies on labor. On the other hand, without some form of collective bargaining unit, would-be (or current) employees have very little leverage compared with an employer, especially if said employees are fungible. Labor is indeed fungible to a large degree, particularly when it's low skilled. That some would wish this reality away doesn't justify legally preventing someone from working for less than minimum wage if they wish to, or for any wage that's mutually agreeable between them and an employer. It's a policy that has been particularly disastrous for inner-city youth. |
