        Mostly because American culture is “I got mine, fuck you.”

        A culture brainwashed to glorify “rugged individualism” is a culture of self centered inconsiderate assholes.

          There was very successful vilification of unions from my understanding as well. I find the discussion about unions with Americans really interesting as from my Finnish perspective they are the cornerstone of workers’ rights.

            Well something like 10 percent of us are still unionized. I’m technically in management, but I’m still a union member and I 100 percent support my union brothers and sisters over ownership. That said, having a unionized workforce is actually good for my company’s owners because it allows them to bid on highly lucrative projects that aren’t really viable for non-signatory contractors for technical reasons having to do with safety and insurance.
