No, obviously I haven’t read the whole thing yet.

Very fine read but I am skeptical that the sit down would produce the outcome predicted there. The sub that services the leased forklifts would have then running in a couple hours. Duplicate keys or simply hotwired. Pull in some more cooperative, I.e. desperate, workers and get things running again. Organizing is the only way, and regulations/laws regarding wages and benefits.

That's why the only way to stop the supply is a sustained National Strike. Shut the entire country down, and the workers (all of them) run on alternate lines of community support--like what is happening in Minneapolis/St. Paul. The success of doing so is easily displayed by the Civil Rights movement in the Deep South. It worked against the entrenched KKK inside the law enforcement apparatus. It will work.

No wonder industry has been mechanizing and robotizing and now deploying AI. It may be more expensive but they believe it won't organize.

Suggestion: Each initial time you refer to a previous article, make that mention a link. If you're already doing that and I missed it, sorry. I'm just seeing that you're referring to set definitions based on previous discussion of the Prison, and new folks might be quizzical yet too overwhelmed to seek it out.

Also, this is what happens when you import and invite tens of millions of low skilled workers

The system didn't demand his labor.. he gave it up willingly.. like an idiot.

You were born on 3rd and thought you hit a triple if you believe everyone has a choice in where they work and for what pay.

I don't see pay going up after all the deportations. There are fewer jobs somehow as well.

Unless you are a billionaire, I don't understand why you would defend paying a CEO billions while the people actually doing the work that creates the value are treated like an enemy, or a to be dealt with.
