Delirious Pontificating about Unions and the Sorry State of the American Soul on a Snowy Saturday Afternoon

Google, MK-ULTRA, Neurodivergence, Superman, and more. If it’s not in this post, maybe it doesn’t exist.

I asked Google how to organize a union.

You know those questions and answers that Google gives on some searches now? I got back a long list addressing my question in an extremely negative light.

The question/answers Google provided to me attempting to correct my obviously sinful and misguided question included:

• Why unions are bad for workers (they increase the chances of layoffs)
• How hard it is to start a union, you could get fired for trying to start a union (illegal but common)
• The length of time it takes (very long and obviously not worth the effort)
• Unions can’t be trusted
• Unions are businesses, not organized like democracies (like our democratic workplaces?)
• Unions cost job creators more money

It’s nice to know that I have a Big Brother like Google to look out for my best interests.
