The Teamsters will launch the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history beginning at 6 a.m. EST on Thurs., Dec. 19. The nationwide action follows Amazonβs repeated refusal to follow the law and bargain with the thousands of Amazon workers who organized with the Teamsters.
Let's fucking go! π₯

I don't expect good things.

Throughout the entire history of the United States, corporations will cause harm if it benefits them financially. And theyβll only stop if forced.
So really the world war is the next one. Ukrain & Russia is ongoing. Palestine & Israel is ongoing. The US has been doing SOMETHING in the Middle East since I was 13 (Iβm 35 now) so like, it feels like itβs only a matter of time.
Alexa no.

Jeff Bezos Elon Musk jerks want slaves not workers.
Don't buy anything from either company.
Boycott Amazon!
Boycott Tesla!
The thing about industrial action is that it has to be thoughtful about where the actual pressure points are to be effective, and those pressure points arenβt the same across all businesses
Crossing the picket line is when scabs go and do the jobs of workers on strike
Boycotting is where you don't spend money at the business
If you want to help out, I'd recommend volunteering to help picket or ask picketting workers if there's anything they need (food?)
It can sometimes be better for an action if customer levels stay they same as this can apply more pressure to management
βThese greedy executives had every chance to show decency and respect for the people who make their obscene profits possible. Instead, theyβve pushed workers to the limit and now theyβre paying the price. This strike is on them.β
Except cop unions.
Good luck, babe!

I think the Teamsters are going to be in for a rude awakening when he's sworn in. Trump's favorite tactic for suppressing opposition is violence.
Leapords and faces.
People who voted to destroy my workplace rights and freedoms will receive no sympathy from me.
If social protections were stronger they wouldn't need to use a snake as a lifeline.
Thoughts and prayers to them.
Class identification isn't aesthetics.

Although for my part, I'll be going to the closest book store to get what I need today.
It's "Warp Your Own Way" in case anyone wondered.
But I did enjoy watching Bezos dining with rapist Trump and President Musk as he left you guys to swing in the wind. Couldn't happen to worthier people.π‘
