I’m so thankful the local halal place around the corner from my house is there… and gyro and fries is only like 9 USD. I commented to the owner about how cheap his food is; he said he’s seen a bit of an uptick in business over the summer and he thinks it’s because the chain places have gone mad with pricing.

The white supremacists didn’t forget… they just thought the wrong side was winning.

It’s similar to the problem AMC had with the Pacer… revolutionary automotive design and in the first year it did amazing! Then, in the next two to three years, demand dropped like a rock. Seemed as though everyone that wanted a car which looked like really nothing else on the road had already bought one in the first year.

Republicans were in power when those planes hit the towers.

Haven’t read the article, but I’ll bet it was MS Teams.

Sorry.

I keep seeing this… folks really think we’re gonna get to vote again.

General Strike, general strike, general strike!

Let’s GOOOOOOOO!!!

It’ll be renamed to the “Holy Land of America” on Google maps any day now, so I guess they’ll all get called “Ameristinians” as a catch-all term.

OBVIOUSLY /s

Local news staffer here, usually we’re not given any of the circumstances in case like this, but even if we find out the “how” we don’t report it. It’s the same with suicides and murder/suicides… if we have to (celebrity, politicians, person’s of note) we report that it happened once and that’s it.

It is definitely to shield victims and families but it’s also to prevent copycats.

It definitely is a major omission.

Did he have an affair? I hadn’t heard about that… probably wasn’t a big deal and people likely didn’t blow it out of proportion.

Yeah, was gonna say, nothing law-wise will ever touch Musk… these kids are the fall guys.

He’s still a piece of shit, but he’s not a dummy.

Politicians often are experts at feeling where the wind blows.

All the insane suburban Toronto politicians can be addicted to crack… just a little, as a treat.

Musk, right?

One in the same!

Yep. Most companies are being huge fucks about labor relations; bigger than they’ve been in quite a while. The post-WWII “gentlemen’s agreement” between labor and capital (as pathetic as it was) has been completely abandoned. They’re back on some gilded age bullshit… sounds likely we’re gonna have to do a general strike.

Right now… it’s “one of the most pro worker employers in the US” right now.

If they have no problem with being such, then they shouldn’t mind a few collectively bargained contacts which ensure they stay that way.

Yeah, was gonna say, this is 100% Anti-Union Tactics 101. Literally get warned about this kind of stuff while organizing and there’s a history of it dating back to the beginnings of labor organizing.

The trap is laid out thusly: promise unionizing workers a pay rise without a collective bargaining contact. The workers reject unionization because the wages are “fair.” A year to two years later, after all talk of unionization has died down and they’ve had a chance to fire or layoff the organizers, the company will then walk back all wage hikes citing “needed” cost cutting measures and the workers get screwed.

Remember folks, you have a right to collectively bargain and unionize (at least right now; who knows what Trump and this SCOTUS might do over the next four years)… without a legally binding labor contract, every benefit and every red cent of your pay is at the whim of the company (and lobbyist addicted politicians). Companies only have one directive: profit. They’ll do anything (including taking a wash on twelve to eighteen months of wage hikes) to ensure profits. Do not ever forget that united we bargain, divided we beg.
