The DARK History of Labor Day | Hn 52
Only two days late, Adam and Tyrone discuss Labor Day. Adam hates it, mostly in opposition of perceived fashion tyranny. Also, unions, scabs, minimum wage, and racism. Enjoy!
00:00 – Intro. Happy Labor Day! A time for brats and beers and barbecue and bonfires! But don't try to tell Adam not to wear white if'n he wants to.
02:56 -- So, what's Labor Day all about? Unions, say many. Adam tells a story explaining why he hates unions.
06:31 – Wait a minute, what's wrong with collective bargaining? Nothing, so long as all participation is voluntary and property rights are respected.
10:30 – Adam and Tyrone smash some of the popular myths about unions and the historical "good" they have done. Audio typo alert: Adam says "workers" at one point when he means "employers".
13:25 -- Tyrone emphasizes the point with a time-machine thought experiment. Also, Adam does one of his most favorite things, referencing Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
15:25 -- More on the inefficiency and waste of unions -- and how unions harm other workers, largely through the use of hateful and racist minimum wages -- Adam brings receipts in the form of quotations.
26:03 -- Tyrone talks about two good books. Promo links below. Also an enjoinder: Please don't support minimum wages. They hurt good people.
30:12 -- Outro. Adam has words for the unionist jackass who keyed his 1978 VW Dasher!
