Amazon Joins Elon Musk's SpaceX In Mission to Destroy Federal Agency Protecting Workers, Claims The Labor Board Is Unconstitutional
Amazon is the latest company facing labor charges to argue that the National Labor Relations Board is unconstitutional.
I've said it before. Are they trying to bring back mob violence???
They feel they're prepared this time.
The owners have gotten so much better at propagandizing the peasants from birth with the media they own and the curriculum they inform having long captured state and federal governments that there are literally millions of poor victims of this system that will fight to defend it against their own interests.
True believers who kill themselves working for shareholders who would never even bother to learn their name, let alone let them into their country clubs, deluded into literally believing anything but this rigged market capitalist hellscape must be an evil marxist, Leninist, socialist, communist word salad of terms they don't understand at all but were indoctrinated to hate and fear anyway blindly.
The owner's numbers are tiny. Their doting, self-hating class traitors begging for senpai oligarch's love that will never come are what prevents what you propose.
My guillotine emporium is doing record business.
Nononono. It’s not the super wealthy people that are the problem. It’s the poor people from a different ethnicity or gender that are the problem! And don’t even get me started about the middle class people from earlier generations.
I fear the only way to really make a dent against the corporations is to go full Johnny Silverhand on them.
All that matters is SCOTUS in the end, and they are up for sale. My guess is that they already have their votes lined up.
These guys enjoy thousands of people. A few hundred would overwhelm any reasonable security force. They may feel safe but they aren't.
I’m down
Not a great thing to say on a public forum
Yes.
Your target for non-violent revolutionary activity is the person three levels up from you in your org chart.
If you don't have someone three levels above you, your objective is to quit, and blow the whistle on anyone above you.
All us old nerds know, but Shadowrun predicted this: corporate government .
Continuum had the concept of the corporate Congress
Underrated show.
City of London Corporation did it first

Might be time for some anti-trust lawsuits to make them pipe down.
Psh, it's time we strip Musk of Starlink for his acts against the U.S. and then ensure a law that you have to pay taxes on stocks in the state where a companies headquarters is while restricting all companies who's largest percentage of sales comes in the United States has to have a corporate headquarters in the U.S.
Why hasn't someone just popped Elon or Bezos? They've done worse than other people in history who've been taken out by the angry masses
The federal government needs to stop being so dickless with corporations
But but but muh campaign donations!
PACs, the best thing that ever happened to wealthy control over politics (from the douchey ownership class perspective.)
Nobody campaigns on eliminating PAC donations and criminalizing bribery.
Except me. Elect me and I will fix this shit with an iron fist. You are being taxed with no representation.
If the NLRB is defanged then we're back to just striking. Which uhhhh wasn't good for the workers or the company. But fuck it. The Workers won last time and they'll win again.
Right? Push people far enough and they’ll eventually snap back. How big of a snap back do they want? I feel like we’ll see a major labor movement in the next generation anyway.
1917
Striking? We have guns that are capable of shooting the dick off a fly from half a mile a way now. No need to strike. Take an example of history and the problem of the wealthy can be solved. We need a Place de la Révolution moment in the USA. Fertilize the soil so the following generations can be free.
It makes me very heartened to hear someone express the same sentiment as me. Take their heads and redistribute their wealth. Use their bodies as compost.
This death cult has gone on long enough. The amount of blood on their hands warrants and even more harsh repercussion
I stay armed for personal defense. I consider my children's Future something worth fighting for, worth killing for
Go far enough left and you get your guns back.
If they’re going to argue they have protected rights like a US citizen then when they break the law they can go to jail like a human. Financial crimes, 6 month time out for Amazon. Worker dies because Amazon refuses a break, 25 year timeout.
The nerve of these fuckers.
So is trader joes
traitor joes

Burn both of those companies down and we won't lose anything of value (yes, many sites will go down because of aws, but just fucking migrate it)
just migrate it
THANKS IM CURED
Oh boy I needed that laugh
Lol, just migrate it... Like it's that simple. Many companies have gotten vendor locked in to specific cloud providers and the services they offer. You can't just flip a switch and move to Azure or somewhere else. Assuming other clouds even have the capacity to take on all of AWS clients all at once... And it's not just websites, many government and even military servers are in AWS these days.
Truth. Whenever I’ve asked an enterprise architect whether the company should really be vendor-locked to the point of using proprietary cloud-native services they say it will never matter. Tech workers think in terms of the two or three years they stay in each role.
(Amazon and MS are nothing on the extent to which Oracle owns you if you invite the Devil in.)
All the important military servers are secured. We could do with losing all the PowerPoints with a bad animated mascot telling you that you do in fact have to stop at a stop light.
Such un-American behavior
People should start protesting in front of these billionaires houses only then they will learn
Inside* these billionaire's houses.
Canned water from the alps shipped worldwide is very stupid though. It's not on topic here but fuck these companies too. This branding is also incredibly cringy in any other setting than a party where you want to fit in with beer cans while not drinking. And let's not pretend that most people that drink this don't have access to potable water on tap.
Nice can, but they are on my shit list for not making it clear that their drinks are sweetened with agave nectar.
Also, that's kind of rich from a company with a $700 million valuation, which is only going to grow and will likely make the founder a billionaire. He's already very wealthy.
It's not really the same thing. Most workers at SpaceX would be highly trained, probably hold security clearances, and are highly sought after.
Amazon employs a ton of people at minimum wage that don't really have many other options. Making them pee in bottles because they don't have time for a break. This is exactly the kind of employee that needs these protections.

honestly i want taft hartley gone. the nlrb is part of that.
let workers strike!!
Yeah right, they will strike the law down in a way that keeps taft-hartley but not the aspects the cooperations want gone.
i wouldn't settle for defending the nlrb. it's like saying "the comissary stocks some good stuff. we shouldn't try to break out."
aka
the slave labor law
