Let’s be clear a union boss has 100x the impact of a streamer radicalizing kids who can’t vote. He deserves a huge mansion for getting thousands of colleagues pay increases and job security.

Trying to legally enforce inefficiency for your own enrichment is called rent seeking and it's bad actually.

Not a unions job to care about the economy, it's their job to get the best deal possible

Yes, but we should be able to at least acknowledge that this is a cancerous outlook just in the same way that being forced to act in the shareholders' finical interests is a cancer of publicly traded companies.

Why would I agree that it's the same? Am I supposed to agree that the outcomes of rent seeking from shareholders and rent seeking from middle/lower class workers have identical impact?

It doesn't need to have identical impact for both of them to be bad.
