This is the failing of the left side of politics, they refuse to fix things the right way, if at all, and tend to accept half measures that make the problem worse or at least harder to fix.

It seems to me that reinventing a lean and work condition oriented union is more feasible then “fixing the government”. broken hacks like unions

Unions played a major role in the past 60s/70s pushing for work condition reforms that many are enjoying today and especially uplifting the manual labor class from poverty to middle income.

Today unions are entrenched in politics and bureaucracy sometimes working against the interest of their members.

They push the demands too far and led to bankruptcies and manufacturing offshoring to

Asia.

Am not pro unions in their current form today, but I am not holding my breath on “addressing the government”.

No because you still wind up with a broken government that wont represent the best interests of the people and unions will, at best, stem the tide of the damage the government will cause. Unions played a major role in the past 60s/70s pushing for work condition reforms that many are enjoying today and especially uplifting the manual labor class from poverty to middle income.

Unions played a role trying to stem the tide of a broken government, no doubt. But they are still a hack to try to compensate for building a government that represents the people and far from a proper solution.
