        as long as some of ‘those people’ get hurt along the way, the magats don’t care.

          I think the current MAGAt term of art for the people you reference is “DEI”…

          So they don’t have to use the colloquial term(s).

          🙄 🤡

      Most union workers are MAGA. So they should love this. If it hurts that one brown guy then it’s worth the lower pay, selling your house, and skipping the doctor.

        “Let’s form a union because we’re stronger if we negotiate together!”

        “Let’s vote for the individualist party!”

        Makes no sense.

        I actually think that because of all the fear of probationary / non-bargaining unit employees being let go last month, this will not go over well.

        People are very conscious of how perilous things are getting.
