  1. No, Fain should NOT be President. Sean could be great on the NLRB or as the Secretary of Labor, but he would need to receive significant education before obtaining either position. A person in the Office of the President can only make changes if that person understands how to wield the power of the Executive Branch (and even if they know how to do so, they still may not be able to make any changes). As such, the Office of the President should be occupied by someone who understands the government & governing (Nixon, Ford, Reagan, & Bush Jr. didn't adequately understand, and Trump REALLY didn't understand, and look where they all got us). But Fain should NOT be President unless he quits the UAW and commits a SIGNIFICANT amount of time(years) to the study of government & governing. Anything less would be irresponsible on his part -- and unacceptable to intelligent people -- and it would be irresponsible/ignorant on the part of the citizens to vote for him if he didn't commit to such study. If one has a brain-issue, one doesn't call a proctologist. If one has a governing-issue, one doesn't call an electrician (Fain's education is as an electrician, not in government and/or governing). If Fain were elected POTUS without receiving a significant amount of education, he would just get steam-rolled by the people in the orbit of the White House who know how to use the government to delay, deteriorate, diminish, distract, or divert a POTUS's ability to govern. But Fain would be a great addition to the Administration of a President who knew how to use the Executive Branch of government to govern.

  2. It's a good hyperbolic-slogan, but real difficult-action will need to be taken. Something will have to be done about two groups of people: 1. The sizable, yet populace-minority group of working-class dupes who volunteer to be the cops&soldiers, acting as the human-buffers between the wealthy-class/right-wingers and the working-class. 2. The other, much larger group of working-class dupes who support the wealthy-class/right-wingers by voting for wealthy right-wing-extremist Republicans and wealthy moderate-right-wing Democrats.

  3. Nationalize CBS (and all the other right-wing, MSM propaganda-outlets), and unionize the workers. No more billionaires. No more wealthy-class. No more abhorrent right-wingers and their inherently-abhorrent politics.

  4. ALL PROFITS = STOLEN LABOR! I agree with your sentiment, OP. :)

  5. Apple Pie is much older than America -- the Swedish & Dutch have Apple Pie recipes that are older than America, by centuries. Coincidentally, the Swedes AND Dutch do Labor Unions & Organizing better than Americans, and they've been doing it better for longer, too. But Unions & The Post Office are both great things -- don't be discouraged. :)
