You fucking LOOOOOVE to see it
:party-cat:
doubling wages for my entire stadium staff: $10m
hiring union busters and pinkertons: $75m
somebody please help me budget this, my baseball franchise is eating shit
$10m per year vs. one time Pinkerton expense
The one time capitalists manage to think long term
...[T]he workers must be armed and organized. The whole proletariat must be armed at once with muskets, rifles, cannon and ammunition, and the revival of the old-style citizens’ militia, directed against the workers, must be opposed. Where the formation of this militia cannot be prevented, the workers must try to organize themselves independently as a proletarian guard, with elected leaders and with their own elected general staff; they must try to place themselves not under the orders of the state authority but of the revolutionary local councils set up by the workers. Where the workers are employed by the state, they must arm and organize themselves into special corps with elected leaders, or as a part of the proletarian guard. Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.
Absolutely fucking typical they make you pay 30 bucks for a hot dog and a glass of shitty beer and then won't even give their employees a living wage.
Oftentimes in America they have volunteers work the concessions, the stadium pays a pittance to the nonprofit/school the volunteers represent, and the people working don't need to get paid a wage at all!
Would like to hear more, if you could expound.
Had just come from reading this about the Rutgers football team and my blood is boiling.
