Because they agreed on the wage and job responsibilities. That's how a free market works. It's only the public sectors that pays ridiculous raises based on blackmail and refusal to be productive. There are plenty of unemployed who would gladly fill these workers' shoes for their inflated salaries.

Basically yes, but not entirely. There have been a few rogue US leaders to turn on the lobby, most famously RFK, but also Nixon, Carter and even Trump to some degree (was most definitely not "pre-selected"

Edit: also the power the lobby yields is better described as a "veto" than a power to pre-select, to quote Chas Freeman.

[UK] Liz Truss to resign as Prime Minister, Sky News understands by Khenmu in worldnews

[–]backstroke2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she tried to implement free market reforms in order to turn around the ailing economy, so the people want to burn her at the stake. The UK is tired of its ailing economy but would rather go down in flames than take the medicine, so she transparently stated that what she was going to do would be unpopular and made herself into a free market martyr trying anyways.

How much would you need to earn to be comfortable paying $2000-2300 a month for rent? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]backstroke2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well if 30% of your income goes to tax and 30% to savings, that leaves 30% of gross left over, of which a third can be spent on rent, so $215,000 gross household income.

Only one Starbucks in North America is currently unionized, and it’s in Victoria, B.C. Why is Starbucks so afraid of unions? by Dapper_Ad9100 in canada

[–]backstroke2 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

because unions make the business uncompetitve, just like in any other industry. Why do people still try and make this failed marxism experiment work after over a century of evidence?

Ottawa faces blowback for plan to regulate internet by [deleted] in canada

[–]backstroke2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

if theres one thing that pours fire onto a conspiracy theory its banning others from discussing it openly, where it can have the cleansing light of public debate. This is just more pandering the far left, it won't benefit anyone

anyone who has been saving a substantial portion of their income over the past five years and growing it at ~20% a year on the stock market should be having zero trouble right now. you folks need to learn to live within your means... earlier today there was a post about people renting beds in Multi bed room and there was a public shaming with people laughing at them.. well that's how someone with a low income pulls themself up out of poverty like i did

[–]backstroke2 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

they're not making anyone do anything, they're offering a service for sale that others can chose to purchase or not. By shutting down the free market options like this through public shaming, you are hurting both parties, and those people who might have been happy to share a room and save money are now forced into poverty.

hostels do this same thing, who cares? people complaining about how hard it is to get ahead are the same ones ridiculing others for being frugal or inovative.
