@autumnpard You think women had normal lives under US occupation? Perpetual war, corruption, pederasty, global heroine epidemic, immediate institutional collapse…the Taliban is awful but that does not make the invasion by any means “good.”
@afrocosmist @I_Miss_Gaddafi The ultimate irony of asteroid mining being that despite being materially beneficial, a super abundance of rare earth metals would crash the market economy and cause mass immiseration.
@alyraejepsen@river_is_nice Lmao no because you made it up. You should engage with reality. No bargaining power means a race to the bottom for everyone!
@alyraejepsen@river_is_nice Your ‘hypothetical’ union exists to force the employer to pay new hires normal wages and benefits and protect current workers from being undercut.
It’s not that complicated!
@alyraejepsen@river_is_nice “My company should be able to hire anyone willing to be paid significantly less for the same work”
That is quite literally how you lose your bargaining power.
