If only workers' rights benefited the capitalist!


The 'right' not to join unions for example....

'Right to choose' to forego health benefits... or work for less than living wage.

'Right to practice the religion' of 'whatever Corporation says is law, because their wealth is proof of holy ordination'.

I thought he was Swedish? Meh, they're all the same anyway.

On topic, yes it's amazing what Big Business will support in the name of their freedom to make even greater profits.
I'd say there should be some sort of cap on profits and executive salaries but that wouldn't go anywhere except Fucker Carlson's latest mouth-breathing rant.

Gravlax is fine enough, but the real treat is rakfisk.
Take good care to keep relations civil
It's decent in the first of gentlemen

I'm sorry, but the Michigan Supreme Court expressly forbade corporations to act in a predominantly charitable manner back in 1919

Nice to see the real Elon coming to the fore. I always knew all that other stuff was just window dressing.
Like all large business owners, he longs for the return of the workhouse and debtors prison. And maybe one day we can all just live at work!
Let's see all that money - wasted in the hands of the proles - get more concentrated in the hands of those who deserve it, the obscenely wealthy.

Elon Musk has extended his strict new rule for working at Tesla to all staff, warning if they didn’t play ball, he’ll assume they have “resigned”.
