Seemed a bit niche for this forum but I can certainly make one. Unions are mostly good, but there is a downside. They drive up construction costs by restricting who can do what labor and theyre very protectionist which drives up prices. Public unions for police should not exist as they tend to protect the bad apples and makes it harder to hold bad cops accountable.

“I don’t like brown people” is not a valid excuse. Foreign people are welcome to study here and have been since the founding of the country.
