The “free market” that gave the world 2,000 billionaires and 3.5 billion people living on $2 a day is “the best we have”?

His ass was pretty thin, actually 

What an insensitive clod!

Fuck that guy

And?

Yeah...the 83 year old

It’s just such a basic mistake though - literally a mistake a second grader wouldn’t make

It makes me question the rest of your argument 

I’ve seen that figure in several of the press accounts, including this TV newscast from Detroit

Sounds like that 83 year old is a douche 

That would really suck

If I ever go to Australia, either I’m going there in stages (NY to LA, LA to Hawaii, then Hawaii to Australia, with 72 hours on the ground between stages) or I’m taking a boat.

You and your coworkers are the ones who produce all of the wealth created by that “family run business” - you and your coworkers make that family rich

So actually....they’re the ones choking you out

One of the greatest magic tricks in history is how the rich people conceal that fact from us

The employer- employee relationship is fundamentally coercive - unless we find a boss to pay us, we starve in the cold in the street, so when we find a boss who hires us, we’re subject to their dictatorial rule at work, on pain of being cast out into the street.

That’s why we have unions (also why countries like Russia…

The union actually did work out well for the workers - so well that management, with help from the government, launched an offensive against the UAW - and other unions, including mine.

That’s what accounts for the decline in membership

American bosses have been actively attacking unions since the 1980s (thank you Ronald Reagan) - so that’s why the middle class is shrinking.

Your economic analyis would be taken more seriously if you wrote dollar amounts properly - the dollar symbol goes IN FRONT OF the numeral, not behind it

There is no “10$”

It’s “$10"

The rest of us learned that in first grade

As for your analysis.... only 5% of the cost of the car is labor, so nickel and diming the men…

Bro....that’s literally THE POINT of going on strike! Holding the boss’ business hostage until he sees reason and gives in to the worker’s demands

That’s what built the American middle class, you douche

Keeping what they have isn’t really a “win”

Also, the temps got fucked over

If you speak to actual autoworkers, a whole lot of them are pissed about the temp issue 

So..... you get your legal representation from unlicensed lawyers?

You get your dental work from people without a degree in dentistry?

That makes about as much sense as lowering standards for the teaching profession. 

We should withdraw from Saudi Arabia too

Also Syria, and Turkey, and Iraq, and Afghanistan, and Lebanon, and Egypt, and Qatar, and Pakistan, and Uzbekistan, and every other country in the region where there are American troops.

Also cut off military aid and embargo arms shipments to every country in the…

You do know that at a LOT of jobs workers get paid for ALL HOURS WORKED - the fact that teachers don’t is an abomination

This middle aged communist would also like to know why the hell any Amerian boys or girls should die in the Middle East
