This is a very powerful way to fight against the greedy neoliberal billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. How do you spot the good billionaires who follow national development theory? They're the ones who pay their employees livable salaries so they don't go on strike.

22 million Americans are millionaires. In Seattle one group of billionaires pushed through the first $15 minimum wage in the US. Musk and his group are scared because China now has more billionaires than the US and raised 800 billion citizens out of poverty by spending that money wisely.

Rakuten is publicly traded. The largest shareholder is the founder, Hiroshi Mikitani, with 8.2 %. His spouse Haruko holds about 6%. Largest share held by an institutional investor is 3%, Japan Postal Holdings.

Don’t you remember hearing Trump telling us how wonderfully was when a union from his decided to strike?! musk fired them all and put new people in with less wages. Trump thought that was really good of him. He thought that was amazing that he did that! You don’t think the future of our unions?!

Good for Amazon workers fighting the good fight to not be in servitude to oligarchs. Workers deserve fair and healthy working conditions, health care, family leave and educational opportunities. Stay firm! Unify! We are behind you.

Police are basically working as Amazon security. They tried to push him back into the truck, then when he tried again, arrested him. "from what I can tell, the NYPD just arrested this driver for trying to join the strike. a cop then got in his vehicle and drove it away" @alexnpress.bsky.social

I wonder if Amazon's training videos blasts unions like all the ones I've seen (Office Depot, The Home Depot, Dollar General, Staples)... Union are not in your best interests, they day. It's the company that just took you on has your best interests at heart. It's the other way round if you ask me

Here is where Dems should be: show your face at the line! Lead if you want the nomination in 2028! Focus on the big issues that impact every single worker of any background!
