L4sBotX revokes paid blue check from United Auto Workers after strike called
schestophrenicwitzFascism at its best
I don’t think that’s what fascism is
Union-busting is absolutely part of the fascist agenda.
No, it’s part of the capitalist agenda and its a good thing. If you don’t want to do your job then quit. That goes for cops, UAW workers, teachers, and more.
No, it’s actually a very very very bad thing, as is the capitalist agenda, which has been an abject failure in accomplishing any of it’s claims.
Also, getting you to turn power over to unelected and unaccountable wealth hoarders based on nothing but their wealth is also part of the capitalist agenda.
Aslo, fuck you for your elitist bullshit and telling people to just change jobs. Seriously…fuck you.
You’ll understand when you’re older.
What, 14?..are you the enlightened teen now? It has been an ABJECT FAILURE. THIS is capitalism in action:
Calm down, kid. Capitalism is the reason you have the free time to post on Lemmy.
No it isnt. Commerce is. Capitalism isnt commerce. Capitalism is leveraging power against others for financial gain; commerce is a feee market exchange of goods and services. Commerce existed long before capitalism did.
Capitalism is the most efficient form of commerce.
You mean slavery
Slavery is when iphone
Capitalism is when socialism
Capitalism! Murica!!

NY Times Investigation Confirms That Apple’s Factories In China Are Basically Slave Labor Camps
The day after Apple announced that it had doubled its profits last quarter on the strength of iPhone 4s sales, the New York Times has published a bombshell of a report on the conditions inside the Chinese factories that produce all the gadgets Apple fanatics crave, and it’s not pretty. In short, your iPhones, iPads, […]
I wonder how it is that Apple has the most cash and foreign slave labor when capitalism says that workers get paid a fair market rate and companies reward good workers? 🤔🤔
I have reported you for spamming and violating ToS
I’m sure you have. I would expect nothing less from you.
Union-busting is absolutely part of the fascist agenda.
No, it’s part of the capitalist agenda
That’s what they just said.
and its a good thing.
If you’re an obscenely wealthy ghoul who profits off the suffering of everyone who has less money than you, then yes. In all other cases, absolutely the fuck not.
If you don’t want to do your job then quit. That goes for cops, UAW workers, teachers, and more.
So you’d be happy if all the cops, auto workers, teachers, nurses, firefighters, etc. quit? You’d rather have massive and continuous societal upheaval than workers collectively bargaining for the right to make a decent living doing their jobs? I’d rather have a functioning society, personally, and that’s why I support unions and you should too.
Unions are labor cartels. They drive up the cost of goods and services.
Then why does a Big Mac cost almost the same at a unionized McDonald’s in Denmark as it does at a non-unionized one in Tennessee?
Now make the same argument for manufacturing in the US versus Vietnam
You know that song “Think About It” by Flight Of The Conchords? “They’re turning kids into slaves just to make cheaper sneakers, but what’s the real cause? 'Cause the sneakers don’t seem that much cheaper. Why are we still paying so much for sneakers when you got 'em made by little slave kids? What are your overheads?”
Funnily enough, I used to work in a running shoe store, and Jemaine is actually 100% right. Nike, Asics, Brooks, Adidas, most of them mostly manufacture in southeast Asia, or at least did at the time and probably still do. Nike has famously had their name attached to the word “sweatshop” on multiple occasions. Meanwhile, New Balance manufactures in the US. Prices are similar, quality is basically the same, personally I don’t get on with either of them as well as I get on with Altra but that’s beside the point. Nike’s CEO makes like 100x what NB’s does, which means NB manages to match Nike on price and quality with a much more equitable pay structure and manufacturing in the US.
If your metric for the economy is anything other than how much money the CEO makes, then New Balance is the clear winner. And I just want to note how fucked it is that I’m looking at a CEO making almost 300k a year, who also happens to be kind of a right wing dipshit, and saying “yeah, he seems equitable” just because I have to compare him to one making 32 mil.
Another example is that Orbea bicycles, which are literally made by a worker-owned co-op in Mondragon in Spain, with a lot (though admittedly not all) of their manufacturing either in house or just over the border in Portugal, compete and win in top-level racing, so the quality is obviously there, with prices that match or beat ones set by giants like Trek, Specialized, Cannondale, or, well, Giant, all of whom do most of their manufacturing in Taiwan (to be fair, Giant is a Taiwanese company, but Trek, Spesh, and 'Dale are all American and, weirdly, Giant handles a lot of their manufacturing).
If you can’t show me that I’m wrong, then sure, pivot to something else again. But the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting something to change. Vaas from Far Cry 3 taught me that.
Buddy I’m not reading all that.
Then don’t start shit you can’t finish.
You could tell the UAW the same thing. They’re getting their jobs automated 😂
If their jobs were that easy to automate, do you really think the automakers would just be threatening it? Do you know literally a single thing about economics?
Elon already started automating their jobs. Nice try, troll.
I can find no sources on this that aren’t just Elon tweeting about it, and Elon’s tweets are about as reliable as a gingerbread space station. If his tweets are enough for you to believe it, then no wonder you’re also wrong about everything else you’ve said.
