If Santa comes late this year, tell little Suzy to blame the Teamsters union, which has called an illegal strike at Amazon warehouses amid the pre-Christmas delivery rush. The union plans to punish millions of Americans to spite Amazon.
The Teamsters on Thursday urged Amazon workers across the country to walk off the job to pressure the online retailer to recognize and collectively bargain with the union. Teamsters President Sean O’Brien said customers frustrated by delivery delays should “blame Amazon’s insatiable greed” and that “this strike is on them.”
No, the Teamsters are striking on Amazon customers. While the Teamsters claim to represent nearly 10,000 of Amazon’s some 1.5 million workers, Amazon doesn’t recognize the union as their representative. Nor do many of the workers who haven’t voted for the union.
Amazon uses a network of contractors to deliver packages. Many drivers whom the Teamsters claim to represent are independent contractors, whom federal law prohibits from organizing. Drivers employed by these contractors also aren’t Amazon employees, and Amazon is under no obligation to bargain with them.
Nobody said it wasn't how it was intended to work, we know that. That's the whole point of unions.
Honest question here: do you know what community you're in? This isn't worldnews.
When the media talks about recession (same as your papers, your favourite news site, it's the media in general), they mean "shit's bad and you're struggling". Same in school, when you learn about a recession, you learn about the simplified definition. That's fine. I don't care what your economics book is saying, I deal with real science, not imaginary shit.
So when people start complaining because their living conditions are getting worse, the same media and the people who suck up to them for some reason (wink wink) come back with "akshully, I think you'll find things aren't that bad because technically, this is not a recession".
The same thing happens when a government counts "unemployment". They define it in such ridiculously restrictive ways that every time they report on it, it magically goes down.
"Oh, you've gotten out of bed at least once in the past 12 hours? Well, that's a job, buddy! Well done, you're now self-employed and can't be counted as unemployed." Telling me "unemployment" is down is meaningless and I couldn't care less. Telling me "it's not a recession so everything is fine, trust me bro" is just as meaningless.
Yeah........ not buying the "sorry we had to kill hundreds of people, we were just following orders".
Let's just say that when you resort to the Nuremberg defense, you've lost.
If you read the developer's background and reasons for the fork, it's actually a lot more....... cringe.
Pretty much, the guy lost his shit because Mozilla is woke / SJW / DEI and all the lovely buzz words used by certain people.
