Satchip,

I think you are right. The RLA is not there for us... the worker. It restricts what we can do. It is there for a "greater good." The problem with the "greater good" is that it is collectivist thought. And collectivism leads to private property loss. I don't work for the "United States." I don't serve it. I work for a company. My job is to make a profit for that company. If that so happens to help out the US in general (and it does), so be it.

But the view that the government in general needs to regulate the industry for the "greater good" is part of the problem. Because, as I stated before, it always gets political and inefficient. Which is bad for buisness.

I would argue that Starbucks serves the "greater good" (it is a no-go item for me on an early morning) but it doesn't need to be regulated.
