The Taft-Hartley Act, and other laws like it, have dramatically weakened American unions far below what's necessary to overthrow anything. If your strike is too successful, then the government will declare a compromise on your behalf and end it.

Joining a union is a good idea, and there's no reason why we can't come up with a clever program to avoid restrictions on unions too. I'm just explaining why Americans have not simply organized.

I haven't bought anything Sony since they put malicious software on their CDs.

This is probably a bad time to announce my new "predict turbulence" Turing test.

I'd like to drive it on a muddy closed course once, it'd be fun!

I stopped identifying as a prepper in 2020. When it actually happened, my family locked down and did exactly what we had planned for. We had masks in the emergency kit, food and water for weeks, books for the kids, you name it. I felt smart.

Until the other preppers exposed my naivete by just waltzing outside. Whatever, fuck them, I'm stocking up for the next pandemic. Next time, toilet paper.

This is the weakest argument ever. She lists three crimes against the government while the Republicans commit genocide, and Nuremberging has very little support among Democratic politicians.

Unfortunately I don't think they're coming to save us.

Edit: actually it looks like you might be suggesting something else. Just so I don't accidentally make a strawman, could you elaborate on what you expect individuals in oppressive countries to do?

Same prices, marketed towards families.

But why would they take any off in the first place?

But aren't the same total number of people flying either way?

If there's so little depth that they're not getting a significant reward, then that's where we are right now. Looking around you and I see the same thing - a bunch of Lemmings with big words and no action. We have no mechanism of coordination because centralized organizations get censored, like with the Taft-Hartley Act or the CIA abroad.

Why would it cost more?
