"All unions are corrupt, that's why America got rid of them."

Actual words I heard a friend's husband say yesterday.

Because I'm an idiot all I replied was "They got rid of unions so they didn't have to pay their workers. It's not really a good thing."

So yeah I'm pretty sure my friend's husband probably hates me now lmao. agony-shivering

I fucking hate the narrative. I hate how easy it is for the media to get people to believe dumb backwards shit, because no one it taught properly about anything anymore. An entire population of the easily grifted.

    When America says jump, Australia asks, “how high, master?”

    Better start getting used to even more American bullshit flooding into the vassal states. Considering how much Australia loves swearing undying fealty to the USA you guys might as well just join as the 51st state.

        The US should require that mined materials from Australia be refined by American companies in the US. The US should also require that the mined material have an end use in a strategic US sector like aerospace or transportation, not consumer electronics like televisions and mobile phones.
