Kickstarter could probably benefit from more slowness and processes. There have been loads of scams on that platform. Unionized workforces can either help or hinder a particular company's business model for a particular duration, you are making wide sweeping generalizations across all businesses. You are also "West Coastal" signaling as though everything on the West Coast is a Utopia while the Midwest is backward, which...what is the Midwest anyway? Which states constitute the Midwest and why are we to assume that invalidates companies there, are there zero successful companies in the midwest with unions? You also mention police being mostly white attributable to unions only...what is the connection there?
