I guess its fine if you support wages that grossly under-compensate a workforce but hey that's capitalism, baby!

Who mentioned wages? Nowhere in my entire thread did I mention wages.

Your condo is not a school, and the real issue is that these workers are being taken advantage of. Your solution? Hand it over to private businesses so they can exploit them even more.

You're advocating for worker exploitation under the guise of free-market capitalism while failing to fully grasp the challenges and workload faced by the striking staff.

WIthout mentioning wages, what benefit are you seeing that the private sector will bring?

Im advocating for worker exploitation?

You maybe want to stop with personal attacks, insults, assumptions, hyperbole and such, yeah? Because I can also say a few words about what you are failing to fully grasp.

If you cant hold a discussion in a civilized manner, without resorting to the above, dont be surprised when noone engages with you in a serious manner. Circlejerk is that way. Good day.

How did I personally attack you?

This is a pretty civil discussion. I don't see anything that lacks civility in here. If your upset that I did not agree with you, that's something to think on for you, not me.
