Yeah... That type of brainwashing is so commonplace now though. Just look at how the US is treating striking dock workers, people keep talking about how they make xxx,xxx and not how the ceos make xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx like it's the workers being greedy... ๐Ÿฅฒ

The keyboard warriors instantly became experts on labor negotiations /s, even though they seemingly haven't had the elementary realization that demands are movable in a negotiation, and you don't negotiate by saying "oh, I actually make quite enough money compared to poor workers in Alabama with no union representation and I love the current benefits thank you kindly, sir".

That's how you end up arguing whether any sick time is on the table and then the government steps in and says no sick time now back to work. Don't ask for just any sick time. Ask for fucking 2 months of paid leave for all workers and a $300,000 salary.

Don't "now" that shit; the US has always treated striking workers like shit, which is the reason workers need to strike in the first place.

You're just a bundle of joy. Bet people like having you around at parties.

I'm actually a blast at parties, mostly because I don't get into politics at a party unless some jackass is being loud with his bigotry.

I also know how to breathe fire, that's usually a big hit
