not sure if this applies to zuckernerd but a lot of that just looks like poo poo but the t-shirt still costs $500 or w/e

e: lmao just checked and the shirt is $700 but since he wears them once and throws them away he only pays $400

I vaguely remember one of the stupider unions endorsing Trump but when I went to look for it I instead found this:

https://deadline.com/2021/01/donald-trump-sag-aftra-trial-expulsion-hollywood-union-1234674988/

quote:

SAG-AFTRA took a major step Tuesday towards kicking Donald Trump out of the union. Meeting in special session, the national board of directors voted overwhelmingly to find “probable cause” that Trump, who has been a member for over 30 years, has “violated the union’s Constitution,” and ordered the matter to be heard by SAG-AFTRA’s Disciplinary Committee.

That'll show him!!

Wait, how was that not an attempted scandal? Being a long-standing union member sounds like the thing his supporters would hate, along with Hollywood in general.

it seems like it's not really directly related to the unionization

stores all over the country have seen in-person business plummet and are now extremely interested in providing curbside pickup and/or delivery.

instacart, which already has the infrastructure set up for that, offers to partner with these stores in exchange for meeting some conditions. one of these conditions is that the store uses its own employees to do the Instacart picking, instead of Instacart sending its own workers

instacart has now made that deal so many times, across so many stores, that they no longer need much of their workforce - they've offloaded the work onto existing grocery employees. this allows them to massively slash payroll while increasing profits. hence this massive purge

and while I have no doubt that they made quite sure that those 10 unionized employees would be included in the layoffs, they'd still be doing these mass layoffs even if no one had ever even thought of unionizing

and they just happen to also benefit reddit idiots

note that there is zero regulation of fast trading robots, preferring instead to regulate the possibility of them being bad for their owners
