Unbelievable Liberal Stupidity & Hate

#19: Stupidity always gets precisely the reality it deserves.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

How dare those workers unite and send a common message to management.

What's next? Collective bargaining?

The issue is exactly what is their message and what sense does it make? duh....

Their letter makes it perfectly clear. Looks like it worked

"Wayfair will donate $100,000 to the American Red Cross after an employee backlash over the sale of bedroom furniture for use in a migrant detention facility."

Personally I don't think selling beds to these refugee camps constitute a gross violation of human rights, It's not like they were selling them more fencing units, handcuffs, or poison gas or anything. But I applaud WarFair for making the donation.

It's a management decision.
If they are open to being coerced and blackmailed into making a big donation that's their call.

#11, Heart-String Breath: The crony part of capitalism always benefits whenever collective protest by the proletariat opposes the schizoid delirium of frontier capital, especially its extractive mechanism. WayFair's donation screws that mechanism and it would not have taken place without employee protest. The argument in post #6 states "fleeting emergencies," i.e., non-market capitalism aka alien panhandling.

 

[petro]

Meh.
Wayfair should just hire some Mexicans for cheaper.
Would be irony and karma all in a nice little package.

Karmony

Stockman (above excerpt) helps to decipher the WayFair affair: 'Fiscal cliffs as far as the eye can see are the deeply troubling outcome of the Great Deformation. They are the result of the capture of the state, especially its central bank, the Federal Reserve, by crony capitalist forces deeply inimical to free markets and democracy.'
(Stockman, op cit p. 3)

'Inimical: prejudicial in tendency, harmful, adverse; ~ to the interests of the consumer; ~ to the best interests of the company.

crony: long-standing friends; to associate intimately.'
(Webster's Third New International Dictionary)

Capitalism's intimate relationship to the schizophrenic process was interrupted by the WayFair protest, whose object was to call out the delirious panhandling going on at the border. Apart from the panhandlers, who benefits, WayFair....the WayFair employees?

 

[Old Man Grumbles]

Well, the employees of WayFair know they can now get the company to cave when they want them too. But, that's their call.

Hi, terri, it's me, the moron!

So it is.

Have to tell you, I'm proud that there are still a majority in America that doesn't want to make money off misery.

You ARE a moron at that. Now the children have to sleep on the floor instead of the beds we were going to give them. Well done, asshole.

If I was CEO I would shut er down for a month or two and then hire an entirely new workforce making sure to screen out all previous employees involved in the revolt . basically go find another job we found someone who's willing to work. Maybe even hire some illegal Immigrants at a lower wage and make a killing stock holders would be very pleased.

Where's the matching funds donated by the Wayfair employees? How much are they chipping in?

 

[badger2]

Working for illegal immigrants is schizoid. Capitalism sets, then repels its own limits, so alien panhandling at the border wins through coercion once again, when WayFair donations should go Skid Row, LA.

The article did mention the donation went to the Red Cross. The Red Cross does a lot of charitable work in many ways. If the donation was left unencumbered, it at least has a chance of being spent on Americans in need.

Letter to Wayfair hourly Employees: Policy change notice
There will be no bonuses this year we gave your bonuses to the Red Cross rather than make the profit we would have realized. Hope you weren't relying on the bonus program for your personal expenses we have discontinued it. One of your co-workers complained the Bonuses weren't equal because employees with more tenure were to receive more. CEO and Management will not be affected by this Policy Change.



We thank you very much for our huge Bonus

A question: Did any liberal groups do anything to provide furniture or anything for the migrants before the government placed the order to Wayfair?

Wayfair employees plan walkout over $200K furniture order to immigration detention facility
Wayfair employees plan walkout over $200K furniture order to immigration detention facility

Employees of online furniture retailer Opens a New Window. Wayfair on Tuesday said they will stage a walkout Wednesday to protest the company’s decision to sell furniture for use in immigration detention facilities at the U.S. southern border.
The planned protest arose days after Wayfair employees learned that the company had received a $200,000 order for furniture from BCFS, a nonprofit government contractor that operates detention facilities, the Boston Globe reported, citing an employee with knowledge of the situation. A group of more than 500 Wayfair employees signed a letter last week asking company executives to cease business dealings with contractors operating at the border (END QUOTE).

Commentary:

Well, the workers, the employees, the people who make the beds ask the CEO not to take the order! The inmates running the asylum, the employees, told the CEO, “Don’t take the order.” They don’t want the company they work for to do anything that would help Trump! They want the kids not to have beds, apparently! They’d rather the kids not have beds for the photo-ops! The CEO said he was gonna take the order. So today the workers at Wayfair have walked off the job instead of making beds for babies. I think 11,000 unaccompanied children came through the border in April and May. And of course Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is thrilled. She was afraid that somebody would make a profit. They don’t want anybody making a profit helping Trump. There should not be a profit, say the employees who get paid from profit, there should not be a profit making beds for the children. What are they supposed to do? Give them away? And so now since the workers have walked off the job, they may not be able to make the beds, and so the children will now have to sleep on the floor.

And according to a woman identifying herself as an employee of the company, Wayfair employees learned last week that an order for about $200,000 worth of bedroom furniture was placed by BCFS, which operates migrant facilities for the Department of Health and Human Services. (paraphrasing) “BCFS set to open a new facility in Carrizo Springs, Texas, which will accommodate about 1600 unaccompanied minors. More than 500 employees sent a letter last Friday to the senior management at Wayfair asking the company to not do business with this company [BCFS]. They also asked Wayfair to establish a code of ethics that empowers Wayfair and its employees to act in accordance with our core values.” And here we go again. I can’t tell you how this irritates me, these stupid leftists claiming they are the definition of American core values and that, therefore, they ought to be mandated on everybody? When there’s nothing core about left-wing values in relationship to American values.

(Paraphrasing) “Wayfair employees announce on Twitter their plan to stage a walkout Wednesday afternoon in response to the company letter. The employees that spoke to CNN said the walkouts are not meant as a censure on Wayfair but as a way to show workers’ continued concern for the plight of the children at the border. They also are asking the company they work for to donate all profits made from the sale of the furniture to a nonprofit that reunites families at the borders.” So that’s what’s going on in Boston today, which is where the Wayfair people are walking out.

And it’s classic. “We can’t have the kids sleeping on beds if anybody makes a profit on it, can’t have anything, we don’t want to be involved, we don’t want anything to do with anything that’s helping Trump.” And the CEO so far is standing up. But what are the odds the guy caves? I mean, this is what happened. It happened at Disney. It happens in every corporation or company at one point or another. A bunch of malcontent leftist employees start standing up and make it look like they represent the vast majority of everybody doing business with the company. They demand that left-wing issues, political issues be implemented company wide, including how to do business. And everybody caves to ’em, instead of telling them to go to hell and shut down and go back to work. Just like parents that have lost control over their kids.

Reminds me of the Oberlin college lawsuit-much ado about nothing.

It was in the paper yesterday--there is a distribution center in Berwick and two people walked out in support of the Boston workers. They thought it was three people, but he was just coming out to the hotdog truck.

#37: capitalism in the age of cynicism.

Just where does the 'crony' part of this capitalism come in? Before anything can relate to WayFair, it happens with individual(s) who first placed the order to WayFair. At this point, capitalism is repelling its own boundaries after it has set them, and even though it does not relate to the Federal Reserve, banks or bailouts, it can justifiably be called crony capitalism because of this transaction's intimate relationship to the schizophrenic process, a politics situated precisely at the U.S.-Mexican border. This promiscuity and porosity does not have to end as long as the porosity remains and is an extortion of MayFair labor, a labor that has no collective bargaining vote as to (where [italics]) their products go. We know that Chinese were shipping futons across the Pacific for U.S. consumption by college students who toss them to the street after a semester or so. That the border remains porous to drugs and illegal immigrants is schizoid capitalism.

'Porosity: the ratio of the volume of interstices of a material to the volume of its mass.'
(Webster's Third New International Dictionary)
