This isn't a union leader problem. On the contrary, quite a few unions are close to 50% conservative voters. The leaders recognize this and are representing their membership by not endorsing either candidate. Not a good thing in my opinion but a fact right now. The trades are often filled with folks who don't pay the most attention to politics even if it should matter to them. They hear tax cut and that motivates more than anything.

More efficient does not equate to cheaper for consumers, it just means more profits for the owners. A private company will always maximize those profits at the expense of the consumer. A public consortium has no need for profit and can spread costs evenly across all users based on usage.

China is not a free market.

Not arguably, still a maintaine issue with the owner of the plane.

This is a maintenance issue with the airline, not a manufacturing issue. Big difference. A mechanic doing routine maintaine probably forgot to latch the cowling.

And China is actively committing genocide currently against the Uyghurs. There is a difference.

How is this undemocratic? It was voted on and passed by Congress. Congress is made up of elected representatives by the citizens of the US.

Laws are made by Congress. This is exactly the power Congress has. In your opinion, who would make laws if Congress didn't have that power, a dictator?

No, you are missing the entire point of three branches of government. They are there as a check and balance of power to the others. They are literally supposed to stop the other branches from overstepping.
