This is what we did before unions, Elon. I mean, he’s not smart, just rich.
Before unions were a thing, if a workforce wanted a raise, it was traditional to say “hey boss, give us a raise, or we’ll burn your fucking factory down”

Either we settle things collectively and politely, or we settle things not so politely.
This was the whole purpose of our founding fathers.

When people can’t rely on laws and justice, eventually blood spills.
These people have been so intent on gathering money and power, they haven’t realized why the founding fathers did the exact opposite.
When people can’t rely on laws and justice, eventually blood spills.

Turns out 1 CEO is worth more than all the school children combined.
