Why does Shawn Fain look so much like Joel Hodgson?

I keep half expecting Crow and Tom Servo to show up.

Fight automation fallout, not automation itself. I'm not gonna suddenly throw my electric drill away at work and twist every screw by hand.

You know, like how automation has enabled corporations to rake in more and more profit while essentially paying workers the same.

In and of itself, automation hasn't done that.

Forgetting the importance of unions has done that.
Letting unions leaders sacrifice the rights of junior members to enshrine the rights of the senior members has done that. Speaking of that: fuck the leadership of the UFCW. You double crossing snake ass motherfuckers.

Letting union leaders and government officials get cozy trips courtesy of companies has done that.

UFCW needs more grassroots activist members who will fight for the contracts they have and to rally blocs against the bullshit two-tier, no raise crap they push after every negotiation.

I fight automation fallout by abusing the self checkout lane as much as I can.

Sorry, you replaced an employee with an untrained, unpaid, stranger with no incentive to do the job right. Woops, did I just ring another PS5 up as yellow onions?
