Judge Michael Barasse is an open enemy of the USA.

So when the unions “sell” everything, then what? Scranton turns into another Detroit?

Cities have been declaring bankruptcy since the 1830’s at least. The orgional argument against that was that the city could always simply raise taxes. Since the people who paid the taxes presumably benefited from the money their government spent, or were complicit in the spending because they elected the government and then did not fire it.

The only purpose for Scranton now is to serve as an ugly abject lesson to the rest of the country. The more damage the unions do, the more of a lesson they become.

But how will the city firefighters (union) continue on the job with no trucks? The same with the city’s cops (union).
