Please recall that the WI Court played a significant role in Act 10, former Gov. Scott Walker's 2011 successful attempt at minimizing the strength of collective bargaining of unions, especially public sector unions. We are all casualties of this. Why? At the time I worked at UW Milwaukee as an Instrument Maker Advanced, designing and fabricating equipment for research in cancer, tumors, superconductors and other primary research that sole purpose was increasing people's likelihood of living longer. Act 10 made me leave as I lost over 30% of my pay and benefits. I could no longer afford that job. Although Act 10 is still meandering its way through the court system, the WI Supreme Court refuses to expediate it. As one person screamed at me as I protested my court house "Why should you get those benefits" and I responded " Wrong question. The right question is why are YOU not getting these benefits. Join us and after we win here we will help you organize and make sure you also get a pension and healthcare"
The slang definition of "musk" is "a vulgar term for the smell of human genitalia when aroused or unwashed."
I for one would like to see Musk turn his wallet to his own legal defense in a host of states for any number of charges deemed "illegal" by most everyone. For now, can we please open all the windows!!
Further thought on Act 10. This was a concentrated effort to see which attack on public service was most acceptable. Act 10 was. What we have been witnessing by DOGE is in essence, Act 10 without formalities. The other things tried were:
When Act 10 was enacted in 2011, several other states also proposed legislation to limit the power of public unions. Here are five notable examples:
Ohio: Governor John Kasich signed Senate Bill 5, which restricted collective bargaining rights for public employees, including teachers and police officers. However, the law was later repealed by a voter referendum.
Indiana: Governor Mitch Daniels signed legislation that limited collective bargaining for state employees. Indiana had already banned collective bargaining for state employees in 2005, but the new measures further restricted union activities.
Michigan: Governor Rick Snyder signed Public Act 4, also known as the Emergency Manager Law, which allowed state-appointed emergency managers to modify or terminate collective bargaining agreements in financially distressed municipalities and school districts.
Florida: Governor Rick Scott proposed legislation to limit collective bargaining rights and increase employee contributions to pension and health care plans. The legislation faced significant opposition and was not fully enacted.
Arizona: Legislation was introduced to strip many public employees of the right to collectively bargain for hours, benefits, and working conditions, although they could still bargain for wages. This legislation exempted firefighters, police officers, and emergency medical technicians
This is a critical race. On the other side, why isn't anyone using this situation and musk's interference as a way to challenge Citizen's United?

Scary.
Good luck, Wisconsin. He already invaded Texas.
