    The Impact of Unions

    In my industry, union labor was paid significantly more than management, but likewise, management pay had to at least be relevant.

    The Impact of Unions

    The history of Irish control over OD and FD across the country is well documented. Just read. Unlike you, I spent over 10 years working on the management side of a union dominated sector. I'm quite familiar with the role unions play on the operations of private businesses.

    Police and fire dept unions are the worse because they're essential labor and have job monopolies. Everyone talks about what unions have done to increase pay, but little is said about how these unions kept non Irish from joining, effectively creating a privileged cast to themselves. Other...

    Newbie venting thread…..

    I admit that I've had trades when my paranoia was in full swing in instances like you describe. Entering to see a drop then panic selling and watching it reverse multiple times in a row as if my trades were being tracked to reverse everything I was doing. :banghead:. That's when you stop and do...

    Tesla 2023

    I read that Reuters report. It's hard to reconcile with reality. All of the range tests that I've looked at have overwhelmingly shown Tesla vehicles ahead of the competition, be it on distance, temperature consideration, traffic, speed, etc. Yes, EV range are inflated, like ICE range are...

    Tesla 2023

    Correct. I don't think there's much money to be made in charging, but there's no EV without a massive network like Europe is planning to deploy. Tesla set the quality standard, now the others have to meet or beat it.
