Funny thing about running a business and Christianity without the perversion of the state -- both are about serving your fellow man in the most successful way.

Well put; this is the precise allegory that Serling and Damon Knight had in mind with the Kanamits/Ivy Leaguers, IMNSHO.

(((business)))

Not everything is a lemonade stand unfortunately


Actually it is.

You've been so beaten down by the gang that you're in some kind of chronic prolapse.

Heal up man.

The state isnt your saviour, it's Satan singing to you.
First, I would have to support the state. Until Tucker is running the state that's not going to happen.

Amazon is having Prime day today and tomorrow. Amazon workers at some locations are going on strike to protest their working conditions.

https://thehill.com/homenews/453061-ama ... -prime-day
Amazon workers at a Minnesota warehouse are temporarily going on strike Monday, the first of two Prime Day summer sales, The Daily Beast reported.

Employees at the Shakopee, Minn., Amazon fulfillment center said they will walk out out for a six-hour period overlapping with the morning and evening shifts.
Whose brilliant idea was it to strike for 6 hours? When they come back they will just be 6 hours backlogged on their work and have to work even harder and/or longer to catch up. Or they will just get fired. These are warehouse fulfillment jobs, so finding replacement won't be difficult.

Does that mean that my shit will be 6 hours late?

It's just a show of force - think about how much money Amazon will loose in that six hours....and now, the backlog will take more than 6 hours to correct unless they bring in additional workers.

So maybe 10-12 hours late?

That's a show of weakness coming back after 6 hours, not a show of force. Amazon won't lose anything over 6 hours. The order will still be placed, and if some don't arrive the next time most won't even notice or care.

Would have been better if they all just quit. It's not like Amazon warehouse jobs matter to anybody. I jumped the fence working in a restaurant's raw bar for much lesser slights, and a shit ton more money in tips about 18 years old.

No way I would submit to piss bottle working conditions. I would just as soon become an outlaw. Which, I suspect, is what a significant number of people will do going forward.

Strikes and pathetic demands made against the biggest merchant faggots in a hundred years, who's black souls could watch your entire family die in a fire without a twitch.. well, that's some slave morality doing nothing for you.
