At this point it's a race to see whether the workers will band together before the magats go full fascist. This decade is about to get really interesting.

I don't want interesting, I want a decent life, preferably not in slavery to the rich... Is it time to move to Sweden?

Idk.. recently I read about a guy that actually moved from there to America...I was perplexed 🤔.

Grass is always greener to some people.

I have two philosophies in life.

Love where you live despite the flaws
It's easier to fight from inside the belly of the beast than outside it

Same thing happening here. 20% of people voted for the fascists last election. Now they're trying to pass a law forcing teachers, doctors, nurses, etc. to report illegal immigrants to the authorities.

Also, massive cuts to welfare, scrapped environmental goals. The list is expanding

Maybe workers should have more power to influence government decisions as opposed to the current situation where the people with money have the most influence in government?

"Ford's Kentucky Truck plant builds the Ford F-Series Super Duty, Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs. The plant is one of the largest auto factories in the world and accounts for $25 billion a year in revenue, according to Ford which issued a statement shortly after the walkout."

Fain wasn't bluffing, they're hitting them where it hurts. Go UAW!

It’s gonna take everyone being on strike I think. Ford doesn’t give a single fuck as they’ve made clear through years and years of abuse towards its workers.

Good.

Maybe the managers should pull themselves up by the bootstraps and run the plant on their own.

Love to see it, stay strong!

In Ford's defense - everyone in the plant that actually works for a living and doesn't just play fantasy football all day - is on strike so it's not surprising their management is paralyzed by indecision for weeks on end.
