@EatsGoats@realcryptomastr@atRachelGilmore No fully. “I play with fake money all day! Service worker who I rely on every time I do anything, you suck. Get a real fake job like me!”
@888Banker888@AirCanada Any evidence of this lol? I was not merely trusting what I saw on TV, but also what I experienced in real life on the picket line and in conversation with the FAs and their union organizers. Not a single mention of threats to freeze bank accounts, and no one cared abt the fines.
@888Banker888@AirCanada When? I saw the FAs courageously refuse a bullshit back to work order and proceed to drag AC’s temper-tantrum-throwing-asses back to the table to negotiate a deal. All while the CEO made himself look like a thoughtless dick in his little BNN Bloomberg media appearance
@Sharon01853393@AirCanada lol have you ever flown in a plane? Flight attendants have a lot more responsibility than handing out snacks. They checked you in for your last flight and got the cabin ready and did safety checks for you, all without being paid a dime!
@Paulparody61@AirCanada Really! Looks like all it required to avoid a strike was a little bit of a good-faith effort from AC. Too bad we couldn’t have seen that a week ago.
@888Banker888@AirCanada That’s not what happened! The union is still very strong and their refusing to return to work is what drove air Canada back to the negotiating table.
@sriramvasudevan@AirCanada How, in your mind, does the union benefit from raising prices? The extra monies would not go to the union but to lining executive pockets and funding stock buy-backs. It’s not like they hand over a portion of profits to the union if they raise prices.
@ForgivingNora@AirCanada The employees are the union, and the government has no real power to get them to go away. If you have employees, they have the right to organize themselves in a union. When you’re as terrible a boss as Air Canada, of course they’re going to unionize and stick with the union.
@glentimson @WBrettWilson They are calling for their university to disclose their investments and to divest from companies that are complicit in the ongoing genocide. You might not like the goal, but in no sense do the (adult) students “have no idea what they are doing”
@34spence@picelandy@elonmusk Have you ever seen it? Unless you’ve gotten genetically tested (had a caryotyoe done), you have literally no way to know! You could have no Y at all, or maybe you have two! Genetics is fun
@TacticalDodo@IndigenousBuu@picelandy@elonmusk I don’t think people should always use the word cis, but it’s been helpful and many situations. In my circles anyways, it’s well-understood and not at all offensive. I, for one, am glad the word exists and people know what it means.
@TacticalDodo@IndigenousBuu@picelandy@elonmusk I see what you’re saying. It’s interesting, but idk if the analogy works 100%. Elon started by calling cis a slur. Calling coffee caffeinated is obviously not a slur (coffee is not a person), nor is it wrong in any sense.
@WendyWendyfio@CTSenateDems@NBCNews Stay angry transphobes! Trans folk have always and will always exist and they will win this ridiculous culture war, even if you do succeed in indoctrinating the children
@LPofCT No. I think we’ve had an incredibly exploitative market full of liars and cheats. I don’t think an actual free market could ever exist. The markets that pretend to be free wind up with consolidation and fuckery
@TerryORyan1 @Stevemckracken @LPofCT Of course I don’t want that. If you know how to use it, almost any object can be fashioned into a lethal weapon. Once again, I’m not going to try to dissolve my ideas about reducing violence into a tweet
@TerryORyan1 @Stevemckracken @LPofCT My policy to reduce gun violence (and violence more generally) is not reducible to a tweet. Any policy that is is bound not to work
