I never would have guessed that the captured regulators would choose the owner class over the working class.
Terrible, but unsurprising.
Shocker.
Americans while their unionization efforts are being destroyed: guess I’ll buy another iPhone/venti latte/amazon product/…
And I had been on such a good run of nobody saying shit relevant to this comic…😮💨
Saving this
I can’t admit I’m part of the problem, so I’m not
Ha ha ha, I don’t get the point, so I’ll project my incomprehension with a comic.
Nope. It’s you that aren’t comprehending that there’s no ethical consumption in capitalism and that there’s also no survival without consumption.
Thus it’s literally impossible to live up to your imaginary standards of caring about workers without being a hypocrite.
An argument that you’re making in bad faith, from ignorance, or both.
Don’t you know, you can just go live off the grid and become completely self sustaining… Wait, how do you pay for your property taxes… Hm…
I mean that guy is being an idiot, but it’s also not quite that simple. There is still more and less ethical consumption. A fairphone is more ethical than an iPhone, and pointing that out in good faith to someone complaining about Apple’s behavior seems entirely fair.
It’s not a complete fallacy to point out that someone is consuming something less ethical when they have a better option. Obviously it’s impossible for anyone to do this with literally everything, but absolutely you can avoid Starbucks because of their treatment of unions, and frequent a local coffee shop instead.
Granted this is mostly assuming two people having a good faith discussion, which on the internet is infrequent lol.
Hey fuck face, I didn’t ask to be born here, and there isn’t really other things to buy in America. So fuck you and the anti-solidarity horse you rode in on.
Also, what a ridiculous leap of logic to make. “Stupid Americans, always,” shuffles deck of ridiculous hypotheticals "celebrating union losses by buying iPhones.
You didn’t ask to be born there, but you don’t have to belong to the group of Americans that consume without any regard.
Also, how is knowingly buying products from anti-union companies a “leap of logic”? Do you even know what that means? You don’t need to buy Apple products to function in society, nor do you need Starbucks products, nor do you have to use Amazon. There are small local retailers you can support, as well as fair trade products, second hand goods you can purchase, and a lot more.
Friggin’ iPhone lovers get triggered so easily.
You’re a doofus
how do you get a well paid job without a computer and phone?
Yes, let’s all give up on labor rights if at any point the only reasonable option is to buy from a corporation.
You might want to familiarize yourself with the concept of whataboutism so you can at least make logical arguments on your hot takes.
You think you’re so clever. You aren’t.
