President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

The takedown of DeSantis here is brutal -- and hilarious.

I should have read more Hiaasen books than the one I did, the one where the protagonist fed his pet bass by hand.

 

‘You Strike, You’re Fired!’ Tim Scott Channels Reagan in Apparent Call to Fire Striking Auto Workers

but the conditions at the bootstrap factory are deplorable

 

Plutocrats in this country at least used to hold their breath for a moment when starting the car the next morning after talking like this. Made for a healthier balance in labor relations.

 

When we was slaves, nobody talked about strikes. Because we knew our massahs would treat us well, and it was better than living in mud huts in Africa. They were doing us a favor!!

 

"Oi! Look at what happened to that Mel Tucker bloke. The way they shifted the paradigm is absolutely diabolical. You can't win, mate, you can't win. They are canceling people with more aplomb than the Politburo!"
--Russell Brand, soon, probably

 

“The slaves benefitted from the institution of slavery because they never had to go on strike,” — Ron DeSantis.

 

Everyone’s focusing on Scott’s quote about channeling Reagan, but does everyone see that other quote he gives, whining about how the UAW is seeking more benefits for less hours on the job?

Why, yes, Tim, people want to earn more money and do less work. That’s kinda the idea of trying to better oneself.

 

Trying to make a parallel beteeen PATCO and UAW members? Please.

 

Capitalism! Until the workers try to use capitalism to their advantage.

 

I’m looking at low-mile used Tacomas. I suspect the strikes will drive up used auto prices. So I’ll keep window shopping for now. Sigh.
