    Boo fucking hoo. Black Friday this year is a bust anyways because people can barely afford food. A major food manufacturer near me elimiated a whole 3rd shift. Which means a whole less demand...for FOOD because people can't afford to eat!

    You do NOT need the publics support to win a strike, it makes it easier sure but they can put out all the bad press they want about how treat deliveries will be effected and so long as the ILWU stays strong and holds together they will win concessions (no regular person who wants to buy rick and morty funkopops or whatever is gonna read the AP and blame dockworkers on prices or shortages anyway, they're watching tiktok and listening to like Joe Rogan)

      Apparently, the Western dock worker’s union is not in solidarity with ILWU for some reason and people speculate ILWU will lose because of that. Can someone elaborate?

    dock workers. Just the people you'd wanna piss off. Blocking the railroad strikes wasn't close enough?

    Yeah it's wild how easily this could be all avoided if rich people had even the slightest understanding of how a fucking society stays functioning.

    The unfortunate consequences of capitalism rewarding the stupidly selfish

      Where do the sinisterly selfish people fit into this whole thing? Where are the ghouls and vampires who have a self preservation drive? Every time you look up and watch the people in power it's the stupidly selfish, dorks, and pedophiles. It's never the slicked back guido-esque hair with the cross on their neck in black skinny pants and a frilly black blouse who can make a 5 year plan. Do they get outcompeted by an invasive species of dorks?

        Capitalism rewards short-term thinking, so dumb ghouls who ignore long-term consequences of their actions outcompete smart ghouls who try to ensure that they stay in power longer.

    This affects the treat supply, so this is jokermala's ball to fumble, or trump-moist could lie (as always) about offering bigly raises to the dock workers and claim that fucking over the working class is just a blue team thing.

    We'll see.
