No thanks. I don't want to be passed up because you have been at the company for 1 day longer than I have, but don't know as much or have better skills than I do.
If you are organizing your labor, you have agreed that the market pressures do not support your payscale.
Downward pressure on wages does not happen unless the market is flooded, or your skills are not in demand elsewhere.
Don't like it? Get a better skillset and go somewhere else.
As you say, Risk is part of the deal.
Note: I am facing this mentality inside my company right now. I want to move to a department with greater opportunities, greater pay/bonus structure, but risk of being fired if I don't deliver. My co-workers and management are trying to get me to stay, and one argument is the "safety" of our department. I should probably paraphrase Franklin about security and freedom at this juncture...
A dissenting theory is not stupidity by default. Much of what the AGW crowd says is demonstrably false. like the 97% of reports statistic, that has been shown to be wrong just by random sampling the reports, and has been retracted by one of the authors. Yet the AGW supported quoted it.
Their models fail with few exemptions, and yet they say they have the science on their side.
Amusingly, Fox News was a great place to see the intolerant side of science. "The Independents" did a good little piece on climate change. A climate "scientist" not only refused to debate, but refused to be on the set with an AGW "denier" and chastised them for even having his fellow dissenting scientist on the show to express his views. How dare they give him equal time when "97% of all scientists agree"! Blasphemers!
Combined with Bill Nye's hostile attitude to every question, it did not make a good showing for science. It looked a lot more like Catholics vs Protestants brought to the 21st century.
The theory was that an unjust law could be ignored. In this case, export laws to certain countries was being skirted by simply not asking where the code came from, wink wink, nod nod.
Perhaps BP thinks the law is "unjust" and thus has a right to ignore the law?
Why can Fedora do this and people applaud it and BP is a villain?
Seems to me sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, and allowing people or corporations to selective ignore laws means there is no rule of law, it is rule by mob.

Depends, are you paying me in BitCoins so I don't pay taxes?
I live on just about $5.3K per month, which is what the government lets me keep of my 6 figure income, and I save out of that amount too.
Perhaps this one is more appropriate:

I will take risk over Union stagnation any day.

In a word: because the AGW crowd stoops to calling those who don't accept their view point "deniers" as in "Holocaust deniers"
If they are so sure of their position, why are they appealing to emotion?

Sorry, the skepticism is well placed.
Maybe you should watch the episode, hmm?
Or you just "know", right?
Sheesh, it is just amazing how quickly people prove the point about how intolerant the "tolerant" are.

Yeah, Creationists get your ass to the back of the bus with the AGW deniers.
What a waste of a perfectly good white boy.
Good thing I am an IT worker with a degree in Humanities.
While it may be argued that IT is getting less humane, the Humanities skills still serve me well, as humans are pretty much still humans.
Coming soon to a Harbor Freight near you...
Well, I am surprised COBY has not fallen afoul of SONY, with similar coloring and fonts.
Transparent as in we can see right through this bullshit.
It's a small world after all...
On the plus side: Darwin will take care of them.

True, true... But in the the water-deprived future the Spice must Flow.
Interesting.
Did you know that 45 mph is the optimum flow speed?
At 45, the safety space between cars and speed meets the minimum and you get the most efficient use of the road in terms of cars per hour.
Of course, at 45, people feel like they are crawling.
Fedora is doing the same thing: skirting the law.
The theory was that an unjust law could be ignored. In this case, export laws to certain countries was being skirted by simply not asking where the code came from, wink wink, nod nod.

It is like gross vrs net.
No matter what the gross tax rate is, people avoid paying taxes in more aggressive ways until it hits about 8% of GDP.
No no, it is the Ventura Freeway effect. As you double the number of cars, average speed drops by the square.
Add to that increases in telecommuting.
I have not added to the congestion in 5 years.
Everyone is a minority of some kind in some place.
So which minority gets to decide the majority is being a tyrannical?
What are you on about?
Granted I am only 40ish, but the number of unjust laws that have been removed or repealed in that time are significant.
Society does not turn on a dime, it evolves. It is not an instant gratification process.
Well, unless you want to burn it all down, man. Then the sky is the limit, if you escape the flames.
