The last time here and on JF, concerned citizens were pointing out all of the concessions for an inflationary pay raise, and zero increase in our A plan. We argued for monitory gains and lost to the folks who said that this was the best we could get, take the money now because of time-value, because the next steps are too uncomfortable, and in the end we all lost. so what are you saying here, accept our status quo? don’t fight for a thing? sit down and shut up? let our “elected” and appointed officers decide our fate? son, our track record suggests otherwise.
maybe these hypothetical lawyers you quote will see more dissenting voices than ever, and light their cigars with flint. but I doubt it because of opinions like yours.
