They understand it just fine. Money printing makes their real wage fall over time because employers don't give sufficient raises to make up the difference. An individual worker going to their manager with their hat in hand asking for a raise that keeps up with actual inflation will get laughed at. Collective action like strikes, while destructive to the economy and businesses, is one of the only tools workers have to get what they deserve.

You still aren’t addressing the root cause; which you acknowledge is the issue.
I don't really get what you're trying to say. I'm saying unions are a response to the issue. That's how they address it.
I’m saying the time would be better spent getting groups together to refuse to pay income taxes and abolish the federal reserve. Like we had pre-1913. You’re treating a symptom, not the cause.
No one is going to get on board with not paying taxes because that invites violence from the state. Unions are already looked upon very unfavorably by the state. Law enforcement is used illegally for union busting. If you give them a legal reason to beat your ass and throw your in jail they will take it.
The fed is on its way to bankrupting itself. There is no need to fight it.
Until the bloated federal govt collapses under its own weight people will just have to get what they can through things like unions. They're only looking out for what's best for themselves. Calling them ignoramuses is not helpful and not true.
Unions are just miniature versions of the federal government. The government makes the exact same arguments. We need to centrally plan for you, so give us money, and we’ll make things better.
Also, we started an entire nation because people didn’t want to pay taxes anymore. They risked their lives and family to do it. We can do it if we want, but we are just too soft to do it right now. Thankfully we have Bitcoin to uproot all of this, and won’t have to risk life and family. In the meantime, money laundering labor rackets mobbed up with a political party remain a burden on society.
