On the issue of the rise in crime in Palm Springs, and in Beverly Hills, etc...
There needs to be a big union for armed guards, and then the businesses and communities can hire private armed guards through the union, the same way that contractors hire carpenters, etc.
There is a big demand for professional armed security guards, and there needs to be a union so that they can be paid fair and so that they will be treated well.
It is also convenient to hire through a hiring hall.
Salute,
Tony V.
