They feel they're prepared this time.
The owners have gotten so much better at propagandizing the peasants from birth with the media they own and the curriculum they inform having long captured state and federal governments that there are literally millions of poor victims of this system that will fight to defend it against their own interests.
True believers who kill themselves working for shareholders who would never even bother to learn their name, let alone let them into their country clubs, deluded into literally believing anything but this rigged market capitalist hellscape must be an evil marxist, Leninist, socialist, communist word salad of terms they don't understand at all but were indoctrinated to hate and fear anyway blindly.
The owner's numbers are tiny. Their doting, self-hating class traitors begging for senpai oligarch's love that will never come are what prevents what you propose.
Nononono. It’s not the super wealthy people that are the problem. It’s the poor people from a different ethnicity or gender that are the problem! And don’t even get me started about the middle class people from earlier generations.
All that matters is SCOTUS in the end, and they are up for sale. My guess is that they already have their votes lined up.

All us old nerds know, but Shadowrun predicted this: corporate government .
City of London Corporation did it first

Might be time for some anti-trust lawsuits to make them pipe down.
Psh, it's time we strip Musk of Starlink for his acts against the U.S. and then ensure a law that you have to pay taxes on stocks in the state where a companies headquarters is while restricting all companies who's largest percentage of sales comes in the United States has to have a corporate headquarters in the U.S.
The federal government needs to stop being so dickless with corporations
But but but muh campaign donations!
PACs, the best thing that ever happened to wealthy control over politics (from the douchey ownership class perspective.)
Nobody campaigns on eliminating PAC donations and criminalizing bribery.
Except me. Elect me and I will fix this shit with an iron fist. You are being taxed with no representation.
If the NLRB is defanged then we're back to just striking. Which uhhhh wasn't good for the workers or the company. But fuck it. The Workers won last time and they'll win again.
Right? Push people far enough and they’ll eventually snap back. How big of a snap back do they want? I feel like we’ll see a major labor movement in the next generation anyway.

If they’re going to argue they have protected rights like a US citizen then when they break the law they can go to jail like a human. Financial crimes, 6 month time out for Amazon. Worker dies because Amazon refuses a break, 25 year timeout.
The nerve of these fuckers.
Burn both of those companies down and we won't lose anything of value (yes, many sites will go down because of aws, but just fucking migrate it)
Lol, just migrate it... Like it's that simple. Many companies have gotten vendor locked in to specific cloud providers and the services they offer. You can't just flip a switch and move to Azure or somewhere else. Assuming other clouds even have the capacity to take on all of AWS clients all at once... And it's not just websites, many government and even military servers are in AWS these days.
