Is the wall offer still on the table?

I'm a tepid supporter of unions, but I'm pretty ok with forcing a mediated compromise to workers making 110k plus a posh pension when a strike will impact a whole lot of people rich and poor in the country.
My values align with supporting the overall greater good of the country that my kids and I live in, ahead of winning cheap political battles that cause the rest of us more harm than good.

Why do you get to paint yourself as someone doing something for the greater good of the country and your children but paint Rubecube as someone destroying the world just so the “far left” can win? What if you have different versions of what the “greater good” looks like? Because to me, protecting workers rights is part of the greater good.
For someone who said they’d vote in a murderer and consider a pedophile, it’s just a pathetic way to approach it. I wouldn’t, for example, care about putting myself on the line to protect worker’s rights for a union entirely made of pedophiles, but that’s where we have different standards. You very clearly will do anything for
your version of “the greater good,” and that’s fine, but not everyone would stoop so low, and not everyone shares the same values you do (if you value anything).
