how walt reuther fucked us all



 in 1945

amerika was one fight away
from single payer national health

like england  built for itself in that period 

75 % of citizens favored it 

but .......


======================



walt reuther got gm to give
his boys a bene health plan

so unions as they had earlier on SSI

  never backed "medicare for all " plans

never under estimate 
the power over union-hacks
of
 the following 
          thought process :
 
"hey 
do stuff like that
for every jobbler...
SHIT

force uncle 
to raise  all  dah boats
at once

SHIT

'nough a dat crap 
and  
eventually
what will dah woi-kahs
              need  uz pie cards  for?"
