What a fucked up world where we are cheering on China. Fucking trump.

The workforce is unionizing even if their union is pretty terrible.

Definitely just a toss up of where this is going.

Which workforce? The Chinese? There's only one union and it's run by the government. Any non-government unions are illegal.

The US is gaining a new interest in unions, but we have our own anti-union laws to deal with. Not as bad China's obviously.

Anti union in a socialist society...SMH sigh...

Yeah in a global environment essentially China is the workforce/factory workers of the previous gilded age.

And it's pretty much exactly my point that their union (the government) is finally pushing back against the management while being not exactly kind to their workers.

We are essentially reliving through a new worker rebellion but from the governments of the global south with their own layers of local nuance underneath that.
Weird times.

You’re fucked when the other party has read it too.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

You say "too" here, but it's doubtful that Trump has actually read his book.

He famously had it ghost written, but fucked up the deal hard enough that his ghost writer got full writing credit on the cover.

I don't think anyone needs to read his book up know he's a fuck up. China doesn't care how much we try and upset their apple cart, they aren't going to play Trump's game.
