AHHHH!!! Everyone Freak Out!!!



Wisconsin Assembly passes bill to curb collective bargaining

Madison, Wisconsin (CNN) -- After weeks of demonstrations in the state capital, Wisconsin Republicans cleared a final hurdle to a controversial proposal on Thursday after the state's Assembly passed an amended version of a bill that would curtail the bargaining rights of most state workers.

AHHHH!!! Everyone freak out!!!! Wisconsin law makers, who were duly elected , have lawfully passed a bill in a state that pioneered recall elections designed specifically to allow for truly unpopular elected official to be removed!!!!  AHHHH!!!!  The world is over!!!

Or, hold a recall election if this really is that unpopular.  And if that fails, elect different officials in the next election and repeal this bill.  Just an idea.  But I bet people are just going to keep freaking out.


Also, speaking of unions, I talked to my aunt this weekend, who is a teacher.  She was talking about how one of the teachers at her school is terrible and shouldn't be there.  I asked, why don't they get rid of her?  She said that they can't, because of unions.  Seriously?  You can't get rid of dead weight because of unions?  Fucking Christ.  I know that unions can be a good thing, but they also can perpetuate a terrible status quo.
