I'm sorry I linked a hoax article. In my defense, I'm on vacation, and apparently so are my critical faculties.

It's not entirely fair to paint this purely as those stupid proles working against their own interests, though. There's been a well organized and funded campaign to gut unions for decades, which has made it that much harder for unions to survive and for non-union shops to organize. Opinion of unions is in the gutter, but that's also thanks to unions being systematically neutered at the state and federal levels.

Yes, that is what I said in "Unions have been very successfully demonized and undermined in the US". The efforts of right-wing politicians, capital owners, and their owned media outlets have done massive damage to unions in the US unfortunately. When I see interviews with American blue collar workers talking about how evil unions are and how management cares about them far more it always reminds me of a beaten wife talking about how her husband only hits her because he loves her. Its delusional.

Maybe I'm just exposed more to the successes of new unionization efforts (particularly with grad students) than I am to failures, which I guess are just less spectacular.

Dog bites man va man bites dog. The very fact that a new union is news (and apparently spectacular news in your sphere) is evidence of what everyone else is saying.

All those Walmart’s that saw unionisation efforts and then had water problems and then shut down and then sat on the land as a warning to others as they starved communities who had seen local stores priced out of the market, were just coincidences.

is this the thread to talk about elon musk's ongoing mental breakdown? https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanmac/elon-musk-thai-cave-rescuer-accusations-buzzfeed-email quote:“I suggest that you call people you know in Thailand, find out what’s actually going on and stop defending child rapists, you loving rear end in a top hat,” Musk wrote in the first message [to buzzfeed]. “He’s an old, single white guy from England who’s been traveling to or living in Thailand for 30 to 40 years, mostly Pattaya Beach, until moving to Chiang Rai for a child bride who was about 12 years old at the time.”
