New theory: PREVIOUS generations had a sense of entitlement
#3
A CEO getting a fat bonus, 5 mil or even 55 mil, is nothing compared to the hundreds of millions or billions of dollars sucked up by union contracts.

Quote:people that live high on the hog while doing no actual work

Isn't that what unions exist for? To make it impossible to fire non-productive employees? Wouldn't that constitute a sense of entitlement for those union members?

Why can't I pump my own gas in New Jersey or Oregon? Unions. Can you articulate any reason to outlaw pumping ones own gas other than to create a job for some union leech who wants pay and benefits for working a menial position? Unions give unskilled people every reason to stay unskilled and when sane people cry foul union members give the "protecting the American middle class" speech.

Unions are a collection of entitlement addicts. And as the largest beneficiary of union ridiculousness, because they came up in the golden age of unions, I submit that boomers had a much greater sense of entitlement than the current millenials.

Great article about mandatory full service gas stations:
