Question: Government employees should NEVER be allowed to organize and form a union......agree?
Government unions have nothing in common with private sector unions because they don't have hostile management on the other side of the bargaining table. It's actually the exact opposite, the bosses of the government employees are co-conspirators with them in bilking the taxpayers.
Far from being careful stewards of the taxpayers money, politicians are on the same side of the bargaining table as government employees - against the taxpayers, who aren't allowed to be part of the negotiation.
In 1937, the American president loved by liberals, FDR, warned that collective bargaining "cannot be transplanted into the public service."
George Meany, head of the AFL-CIO for a quarter century, said unions were not appropriate for civil servants. As recently as 1978, the vast majority of states prohibited unionization of government employees.Answer: Government employees should not be allowed to organize and form unions. The government is not a for profit organization...but runs 100% on tax collected form those who effectively have NO SAY "at the so-called bargaining table".
Also, why should a totally tax supported payroll....receive better salaries and benefits than received by those who pay their salaries?
Finally, unionization of the public sector is full of conflict of interest.....as these people are then persons who can effectively be "bought off" at election time....and those attempting to manage a state or federal program / governmemt....are not able to objectively and effectively do so, as there are voters pulling at their coat tails, remindin them of their "voting ability". i.e., votes directly connected to the voter's pay check. THIS IS WRONG, NO MATTER HOW ONE LOOKS AT IT.

Question: Which Guitar Effect pedals should i buy to create a great blues tone ?
I'm leaning towards the Boss Blues driver with the keeley mod and I've already ordered the Boss super overdrive to try as well. Is the keeley mod worth it ? Do I need a compressor ? If so, Which one ? Mxr custom, keeley mod, Boss cs3/cs2. Is it worth keeping my boss ge7 equaliser or should I sell it to create funds ? Also I have an Ibanez OD850. It's vintage and sounds like a fuzz pedal like a Big Muff rather than an overdrive. Does anyone know how much it would be worth ?
Answer: More than anything you need a tube amp that you can crank to the max. That's where most of the tone comes from... not the pedals.
Get something in the 20-30W range. If you get a 100W amp, you'll NEVER be in a situation where you can crank it. Even if you're playing a big football stadium. If you're playing a venue that large, you're getting mic'd. Once that mic goes down in front of your amp, your volume has to come to, which means you have to say "bye-bye" to that sweet tube tone.
Keep the GE7. It's always a good idea to have a couple equalizer pedals around. One handy thing to try out is to stick an EQ pedal on either side of your distortion. Experiment to figure out how different incoming frequencies affect the distortion, then use the other EQ to shape it after the fact. Find your perfect tone, then look at the curves you've set on each EQ. Get some pickups that match the response of the first EQ, then set your amp's tone settings to match the second. Now you've got killer tone with fewer pieces of gear mucking about with it, which is always better.
