Wow isn’t it super cool how a billionaire can do a hostile takeover of a company and then fire the workers without them getting any say in the process?
I hope the workers just unionize and strike.
On one hand, I agree with the worker protection stance. On the other hand, I kind of hope that he destroys the stupid bird site from the inside.
I think its algorithm is just better at putting people in their respective political versions of the site. There’s a ton of outright Nazis on that site lol
Not saying the others don’t as well though
I remember i was doing some shitty job with this apolitical meathead but hed love to talk politics, just not read or watch anything. I remember asking him if he liked democracy, him saying yes and then saying why not democracy in the workplace and a lil light bulb like clicked it seemed.
Then everyone clapped. There was a little more discussion to alternatives to what we have now like, “what if everyone switched jobs every six months” or just co-ops in general. Im not sure if that exchange ever stuck with him but it was interesting for me that he must have never thought about that stuff once in his life.
I think it speaks volumes about this country that they won’t. Like, if you’re all getting fired anyway, you have absolutely nothing to lose by unionizing and striking. but they still won’t.
