   I can't think of much more than making the Elitists pay to prop up a media   
   source that is only viewed by their brainwashed masses.   
      
   Already the legacy media has almost no power to change people's minds anymore.   
   They are getting sued for defamation and slander - and losing.  There was a   
   time when The View, for example, had to apologize on air for something false   
   that they said.   
      
   Short of something totalatarian, I can't think of much more we can do.   
      
    AT> I don't think the Dept. of Ed has been eliminated yet, but supposedly   
    AT> there have been workforce reductions there, which is a good start.   
      
   Their teeth have been pulled.  Since Congress created it, only Congress can get   
   rid of it.  And Congress has bigger fish to fry right now.   
      
    AT> Is there any legitimate reason for unions (of any sort) to still exist?   
      
   No.  There was never a legitimate reason for unions to exist past getting   
   workplace safety standards passed.   
      
   Today they are all corrupt, power hungry groups that use workers to have power.   
      
    AT> We have laws. If employers don't follow them, they get fined and/or   
    AT> sued. Isn't that good enough?   
      
   It should be.  Don't like where you are working?  Move to another employer.   
      
   That never works with unions because in the free market, they are all worth   
   less than what they blackmailed out of the companies they currently work for.   
      
    AT> Which level of government has the power to stop unions? I'm guessing   
    AT> it's the state.   
      
   I don't know on that one.  I know that the Feds have stepped in several times.   
      
   But unions have priced themselves out of the market and were a dying group   
   anyway.  Except for public sector unions, which shouldn't exist anyway.   
      
    AT> My daughter will finish high school before it ever happens, but I'm   
    AT> hoping that charter schools become an option for my youngest kid.   
      
   It took time for the Elitists to break everything.  It will take time to fix it   
   too.   
      
      
   ... Memories of you remind me of you.
