The bombers will be taking off on Friday right as the NYSE closes.

Also tons of oil would get irradiated making it basically worthless.

Actual worker organizing (that transcends the confines set by labor law and the big unions) driven by the left organizations is the only thing that will build a working class that can learn how to fight. Why would we think workers will seriously confront capital and the state when they won’t even confront their boss? Performative International Workers Day “strikes” will not achieve this, only actual organizing.

If it kept up with its peak it probably would be more than $30/hour by 2030 but it does make a good slogan.

I work in a another nationwide chain that is rolling these out. They are wirelessly connected to a database so prices can be set automatically and update within minutes. I don’t think they want to do individual pricing though and if they did they’d just do it at the register. While electronic tags would make store by store pricing easier, that has already been happening to some extent and it’s becoming less common as the industry consolidates.

What these are really for is to cut costs. The store I work at probably used to spend 15+ labor hours a week hanging tags on top of a full time employee just to audit them. The other store I used to work at had two full time employees doing it. There’s a special printer, app, tons of different little plastic hangers, and paper to print and hang paper tags. These new electronic tags are shipped in a box as they’re needed, are reusable, and are automatically updated.

I’ve been thinking about this recently. In Battlefield 4 there was a DLC that introduced the “UCAV”, a small airplane like drone that exploded on impact. People quickly figured out that a full squad with an ammo replenishment box could deploy so many UCAVs that they could dominate every part of the map that didn’t have extremely hard cover. Running into a squad like this basically made the game unplayable because there was no way to counter them.

It’s funny to see that’s more or less Iran’s strategy a decade later.

Truly the most moral army in the world.

Gas cars are fucking stupid. “Oh let’s put an internal combustion engine, battery, exhaust, and gas tank in every single vehicle so that cars are stupidly complex, gasoline dependent, and unnecessarily large, heavy, and noxious. They’ll be so much better than a motor and a battery that can be recharged at any source of electricity.”

“I don’t like the possibility of a self charging car. I want to burn gooified dinosaurs in my engine.”

Does he turn into a worm in this one?

It’s not really dystopian but a spike strip garden hose was used in Better Call Saul

caused by debris from an intercepted Iranian drone hitting an oil facility.

Idk anything about warfare but if the drone hit something important then it kind of seems like it wasn’t intercepted.

Tbf American planes actually do just do that sometimes

america deindustrialized so extensively, we can’t even manufacture consent anymore

Lol

It doesn’t matter. Nobody’s organized. Who are you going to seize power with? Your church? Your union? Your neighbors? You probably don’t have any of these and even if you do you probably don’t have much meaningful connection to them. Until Americans rebuild American society there is no internal threat to the empire.

Oh no! Is the mortar okay?

Since the war started with the bombing of a girl’s school and the Supreme Leader’s home, I can only assume Trump means the US and Israel are threatening to start attacking military targets now.

It’s actually something that railway workers sort of “won” way back in the 1920s almost a decade before the passage of the NLRA. Basically railway workers were so powerful that strikes and lockouts became too detrimental to commerce so Congress stepped in and decided that they would regulate labor relations in the industry. I think airlines were interpreted to fall under or encoded in the law a few decades later.

It was always unlawful for federal workers to strike. Reagan was just the first one to actually enforce the law on the matter and permanently replace striking workers, something that was uncommon in both the private and public sector at the time.

The unions totally folded after this rather than doing anything to fight back which is really why they’ve withered and died.

This is probably just because it’s much harder to get a conviction if the death penalty is on the table. A jury would have to think twice about signing of on his death. It’ll be much easier to convince them to give him life in prison.

It seems like the more ML aligned groups are talking about these things at least but they’re definitely not part of the dominant narrative here.
