Kinda strange how "free market" ideologues criticize the unions
for negotiating the best deals they can get ...in the free market.
One measurement is worth a thousand expert opinions.

Monopolies are not free markets.

I asked the mod to delete this thread, this was the response:
Regarding the thread below I am sorry but since there is really nothing in there that is against the rules we can’t take it out.

Is there such a thing as a free market? Politicians would have you believe so but it is they that control the markets. And who controls the policticians? Geothermal is expensive because the politicians have not fully embraces it yet. When they do, watch the prices drop and the adoption rise.

Monopolies? How do you figger?
Only about 12% of workers belong to a union and huge numbers of those are the public service unions like police and fire leaving less than 7% in the private sector.

Unions were a very good thing......100 yrs ago.... when workers were abused. There were few laws to protect workers. IMO....Unions have outlived themselves, what happened 100 yrs ago would never happen again here in the US...they need unions in the Middle East for the sweat shops. Today there are many laws protecting the workers where I feel like unions shouldn't exist especially in the private sector.....

Just try and hire a firefighter that's not in the union that is monopolizing firefighters in your area.

Mods.....can you just delete the last page of this thread and re-stick it at the top and everyone can start talking on topic from now on? I think this thread is very important, especially for people here and new comers looking at installing geo in the future.
