There was a thread on this a couple of days ago. I didn't understand what it was about even though I read about this stuff.
It's amazing that media figures like Gray, Greenwald, Taibbi could consider taking money from Thiel. Like, an unknown evil billionaire would be fine, but an actual agency-startfunded private-transnational-panopticon-owning hillbillyelegy-politician-pupeteering blood-drinking-transhumanist billionaire?
"It's not Thiel it's his best friend from college". ok.
I'm the dope for being surprised by this, but for someone like Brianna Gray to describe herself as a socialist, to speak about her consideration of different tendencies, to make all the noises she made over the last year, and take Thiel money, is just fucking lol.
Almost as lol as me listening to bad faith for the last year.
We already did a walkout once and that was after a manager left abruptly. I replaced that manager and now I'm coordinating the next potential walkout (I organized the first one when the other manager left).
That sounds like a decent position to be in from a labor point of view. During a pandemic. With supply chain and workforce disruption or whatever.
Yeah everyone is pretty emboldened since that was just a couple months ago. Most people are down I think just because we all have a collective desire to stick it to the man right now.
That's really positive. Stop it, I might feel something.
Were they trying to buy you off?
I think so, thing is when I told them what I wanted they agreed, they gave me my raise and the promotion but they're dragging their feet wrt the people I demanded be promoted with me.
Surprise motherfuckers you promoted a communist.
