Lack of massive strikes in America. What happened to this country what happened to our strong population?

the Arabs built the Eastern world?
Know I know you are full of shit.

History always repeats itself. As workers get more fed up more unions will form.

 

[scruffy]

The fact that we don’t have massive strikes going on in this country right now goes to show us all the corrupt Republicans and Democrats are winning. They have the population right where they want them. They got so much of this country stoned out of their mind on marijuana that the American men and women don’t give a darn about the fact that they’re living in squalor…. with no hope of getting a house there stuck in tiny communist style ugly apartments. This is not a communist country what proud country this is America.

But because of the rise of drug use in America, the legalization of marijuana all over the place. The rise of Black Lives Matter and how they make white people and Black people who support them feel weak and feel like cowards and feel like they can’t do anything. We must take a stand for this country we must take a stand for the workingman in this country

If one takes a look at the photos from the 1940s basically everyone looks at the photos of strike actions from the 20th century in America…. you see men who were overwhelmingly Christian who were overwhelmingly physically fit. It’s nothing like that today we’re a very secular country in many ways. Americans who are poor or distracted by Black Lives Matter, they’re distracted by Instagram, Twitter pornography. Many of them are stoned out of their mind the bad guys in our government wants this. The government wants poor people to be high every day so they don’t want to go on a strike action to make their lives better.

And in the American past we had sweatshops or 10-year-olds would work 12 hours a day making a slave wage. That was literally fought against and people had to die to fight against that and to bring equal rights for workers to bring in the eight hour workday, bringing overtime pay period to bring in the union.

I think that we should see massive sit down strike at Walmart, at target at Tesla at Amazon. There’s not a whole lot to lose these companies don’t really do much for this country. It’s all about consumerism for them selling things that don’t really do anything for us. It’s not like they’re saying like General Motors or Ford or Bethlehem steel. Really think about this they don’t produce anything meaningful. They don’t provide union jobs. But you know it would force them to do something massive strikes. Thousands of workers across the country occupying Tesla plants, occupying Amazon plants .

But I don’t know if this could happen. We have a large number of immigrants in this country from Arab countries. Maddie arrow people will tell you that the once glorious Arab people the men and women of the Arab nation who built the eastern civilized world have fallen. Look at New York City for example an Uber took off there were so many Arab cab driver who could’ve gone on strike who could’ve fought for the rights but they didn’t. They allowed the anti-American criminal enterprise of Uber to take over

I pray I hope that the immigrant Americans, the white Americans in a black Americans can pay homage to the great men and women of American history and take a strike action very soon at Walmart. I have plenty of money I have a successful man I worked very hard. I’m a proud American I’m thinking of even joining up with Walmart just to do a strike.


It’s really quite simple you could have hundreds of people sit down strike at Amazon or Walmart bring a bunch of food in with them just occupied a place. Occupy Walmart. Do you see what it should’ve never occupied Wall Street that was a smokescreen.


So there you have it. This is something that my conservative friends might not agree with and I really hope that my liberal friends agree with me.

The idea is brilliant you simply have the workers at Amazon and tesla demand a union. Demand $30 an hour. They have nothing to lose our country to joke we look so ugly today we want to get favor in the world we want to look good to God this is what we do.

I don't get it.

Your argument is, America is too stoned to sit down?

No reason for me to go on strike on behalf of Amazon workers when I ain't one of them. The places that see large-scale action like the UK and France usually see it because they are all protesting the government that is their employer.

I avoid Amazon whenever possible. That is the extent of my sphere of influence with them. Walmart, on the other hand--I adore Walmart. They have a beautiful business model that has revolutionized the way businesses operate in ways people fail to appreciate like their just in time inventory system. I also like that if you work there, you can buy into their health insurance program whether you work 1 day a month or 70 hours a week. One of the reasons that they can keep unions out is because they have taken big data to the next level. They know today where they need to be 5 or 10 years from now.

 

[FranklinRoosevelt_FTW]

I don't get it.

Your argument is, America is too stoned to sit down?

My argument is that through things like mass consumerism whether it be pornography or the marijuana industry that these industries make people weak and it’s the type of things that would prevent interest in a strike. It’s the same thing with the television shows that don’t really provide any value to people.

there are a number of things working against a strong middle class. Mass consumerism like I said with the porn industry. With drugs. These gateways prevent men and women from leading meaningful lives. They influence men and women to live in shit hole apartments for the rest of their lives and to be content with never being able to afford a house or truly being able to afford raising a family. I see sites of working class black fathers and mothers living in huge Tell me to style apartment complexes. There must be 30-50 buildings with four tiny apartments or six or even 12 tiny apartments in one building. And they have kids in these apartments this is no way at all to live. This creates massive economic inequality and educational inequality in this country. Imagine being a child growing up in a shit hole apartment knowing that your classmates are living in mansions. This is not America this inequality is against Christianity.

This is a shit hole existence. This is how it is in Third World countries. No in this country a family of four a family of six should have a house. Black Lives Matter leaders are millionaires they’re stealing money from poor people they also don’t give a darn about the poor working black man or the poor working white man.


And this horrendous lifestyle you have working class Republicans and Democrats relying on welfare like for example food stamps. And they will say man if I go on strike I might lose my food stamps I might lose my $15 an hour wage.

That is why I would say. Mind you I come out this from a traditional Democratic perspective. I come at this from the 1940s mindset because I am an American patriot. I’m a Catholic. I look up Jesus. And standing behind me are all of the great men and women of American history including the founding fathers. The Christian religion. I think what I’m doing here is American and Christian as it gets. Those who oppose me our race dividers, Black Lives Matter leaders, the people in the government who want to hold down The patriotic American.


I believe I will be able to get the support of the police, the vast majority of the military. The kind of things I’m talking about is patriotism. But watch the bad people in the government and the media has been able to convince fellow Americans of is that you should except living as a slave making no money having no hope in this country. You should except not be able to make $30 an hour out of high school. Just live a little life of garbage get your 50% discount to Door Dash get your 50% off your next Uber ride and just be happy with being a slave



But I’m working on ways to improve my communication method you have any advice. How can I talk with potential people to join my movement what words can I use. How can I convince low-wage white and black workers to stand against black lives matters. Because I believe that in order to gain the support of Republicans we would have to show them we stand against the Black Lives Matter race dividers. This movement can succeed there’s no doubt about it it’s just be done in the right way. Should I be using words like slave masters I think in some ways that a galvanized potential people who would otherwise be brainwashed and supporting Black Lives Matter.

 

[FranklinRoosevelt_FTW]

No reason for me to go on strike on behalf of Amazon workers when I ain't one of them. The places that see large-scale action like the UK and France usually see it because they are all protesting the government that is their employer.

One of the reasons that they can keep unions out is because they have taken big data to the next level. They know today where they need to be 5 or 10 years from now.

I just want America to be like it used to be.

I’m aware of the types of strikes you’re talking about that went on in France. But I am wondering do you think it would be possible for 20 or 30 people to occupy a Walmart and then be able to galvanize the nation and start a chain reaction of similar strikes across Walmarts across United States. Do you think that’s possible in today’s climate with mass consumerism?

I wonder if I can convince immigrants from Bangladesh, from Pakistan from the Arab countries to go on strike. I wonder if these immigrants have the same type of strength and courage and willpower that the immigrants of the 20th century had who did go on strike. And yes there were Arabs for example from Lebanon and Yemen who immigrated to America in the 20th century they took part in the strikes but most of these people were European immigrants. So let’s look at that as well

I also do not work for Walmart or any of these companies. I am my own boss. And I’m free I’m liberated from the shackles that are holding down so many Americans Who are working a minimum wage job or maybe making 15 bucks an hour with no possible way to climb up.

I am influenced by the founding fathers of this country. I am influenced by Jesus I am influenced by my heroes of history like the men and women from various parts of the middle ages whether Richard the Lionheart , Godfrey of Boullion and the many leaders of the crusades. Of course my hero of all time is Franklin Roosevelt all of these influences have led me to appreciate for example the united auto workers of the 20th century. The reason why do United States has the strongest military and the number one economy is because of the fact that we used to have millions of steel in auto jobs where Americans didn’t have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on college they could get a job right out of high school that would let them afford a house. What is amazing is that mass consumerism has been able to convince low-wage workers that unions are their enemy. Through anti-Christian measures like mass pornography, mass consumerism through Instagram with trash television shows, pornography on even television where young children are looking at this garbage, where we have black lives matters influencing young Americans to hate their country this is what leads to low wages. We have to fight against this…. I am following in the footsteps of American patriots. Can you give people any advice on how to create a strong following to be able to shut down and occupy a Walmart how can somebody do that?




We never had the mega Walmarts and type of mass consumerism in the American past that we do today. The downfall of union jobs, the downfall of the American middle-class, the high cost of college and the fact that so many people are in debt led to arise of divorce rate, a rise in children growing up in an system where they’re going to school with other children who live in mansions. So you have students who go home to a tiny conmunist style apartment and their classmates are going home to 5000 square-foot mansions.

America‘s not supposed to be a communist country but we’re heading toward that direction unless we do something about it

 

[FranklinRoosevelt_FTW]

A potential list of demands for strikers at Walmart would be

Unions that’s the biggest one of all job protection. And this is what for example the criminal enterprise of Uber has to agree with. You know what Uber there’s been cases of riders murdering the driver.

We live in a country where companies like Uber are allowed to get away with these types of things





Which Americans are going to take a stand for that murdered woman for that mother of 4 who was murdered by a criminal! . Uber won’t they don’t give a shit about the working man or the working woman in this country. Uber driver should be able to carry guns and they should be able to have security measures provided to them by Uber.

There are countless stories like the above. Hundreds if not thousands of examples of Uber drivers being brutally attacked. And to think there’s no protection for drivers. Uber is a company where you could have a driver who has done 50,000 jobs 50,000 individual rides and then it takes one lying customer to say hey this driver was driving too fast or something and then the driver gets fired. I can’t even begin to talk about the amount of times that drivers have been Verbally abused or even physically abused and nothing is done about it. Not all the drivers have the dash cam videos to show this. It has been cases were drivers been attacked and nothings Done about it the rider doesn’t get booted from the program



There are countless examples of the above where for example Uber drivers are called names. Passengers hurl racist insults and Uber drivers. Like the above with those black customers calling the driver a “chink” there’s also been examples of white customers calling their black drivers the N-word….

This constitutes a serious crime against humanity that there’s no job protection for workers in the service industry. If our government wants us to become a service industry then the service industry needs to be unionized. If I government thinks that we’re going to go towards the route of a service industry where a customer has the ability to get a driver or worker fired due to the food being late then we’re finished as a country. There’s no way that we’re going to go on as America as we know it we will turn into a communist country. Where corrupt Black Lives Matter leaders continue to steal money from poor people where corrupt Republicans or Democrats continue to make a ton of money on Grafton live in mansions while Americans live in shit hole apartments. This won’t last American patriots won’t let it last

 

[FranklinRoosevelt_FTW]

Give us some ideas Democrats. If there are any other fellow Democrats on this form ……what are your ideas on how one can successfully occupy a Walmart and create better conditions for workers?


One idea would be to have able to have one person who is able to produce high-tech videos. Using images from the American pass to try and recruit more people to the cause.

Most mega Walmarts have bed mattresses so there should be enough room for people to sleep for days or weeks on end during the strike during such an occupation?

 

[FranklinRoosevelt_FTW]

A strike action with Uber would be a bit more difficult because the Uber drivers are not organized they don’t even know each other as the Walmart workers would because they all work in the same store. That’s how Uber puts down the worker they make sure that the workers don’t relate with each other and they don’t really know each other.

But certainly it is possible to have a successful strike action geared toward Uber ….the question is how can it be done?

 

[Lord Long Rod]

The fact that we don’t have massive strikes going on in this country right now goes to show us all the corrupt Republicans and Democrats are winning. They have the population right where they want them. They got so much of this country stoned out of their mind on marijuana that the American men and women don’t give a darn about the fact that they’re living in squalor…. with no hope of getting a house there stuck in tiny communist style ugly apartments. This is not a communist country what proud country this is America.

But because of the rise of drug use in America, the legalization of marijuana all over the place. The rise of Black Lives Matter and how they make white people and Black people who support them feel weak and feel like cowards and feel like they can’t do anything. We must take a stand for this country we must take a stand for the workingman in this country

F the labor unions. They are corrupt AF. In fact, F anything that subordinates the individual to the collective. On another note, I agree with you that the nation's young folks are zombies, either by drug use or by lack of critical thinking skills necessary to defend their young mush-filled heads from the insidious Marxist trash being cast upon them by educators, universities, and media.

A hardworking person at Wal Mart making less than say a fraud firefighter at Reedy creek district is why we are dying. It is time to tax excessive pensions in regimented way.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Think about it brother. How could it be the government while the bad people in the government. Because there are good people in the government. But how could the bad people in our government have convinced a small but loud number of Americans to support BLM riots. How in can it happen? I’ll tell you why. Because our government is a drug dealer they got marijuana legalized all over the place so they can brainwash people easier. It’s not gonna last though

We got good people in our government and we got a great American citizenry that is ready for a better life. Give it some time we’re going to see some strike actions God willing at Tesla because that’s the only way forward. Look at Tesla, Amazon, Walmart some of the biggest employers in our country and they don’t even allow unions. How ugly our country has become when some of our biggest employers of today are mass consumer companies that really benefit nobody. We get nothing good from Amazon, target , Burger King and McDonald’s. And what are we gonna get from electric cars. Seriously we don’t get anything good from Walmart from target. Whereas in the past we got a great benefit from the steel and auto companies. That’s what is missing From America today. We lack strong Americans. It’s a problem

you can see how much of a Democrat I am here you can see on the most democratic liberal on this form. I stand with you

I buy lots of things from Amazon that are simply not available in any of my local stores. Their over-the-counter supplements I take at my doctor's instruction are often unavailable locally. I don't shop Target or fast food most of the time.

Our steel industry has organized labor and priced themselves out of many jobs. The same is basically true for GM and Ford. Chrysler is now owned by Fiat. As a consumer, why would I pay more for an inferior product just because they are unionized. In my former state of KY, there are two major employers: UPS and Toyota. We still have Ford and GM factories, but they produced SUVS, heavy duty pickup trucks, and Corvettes, which are not produced by foreign car manufacturers and have a specific market. I drive a Ford Explorer built in Kansas City and my wife drives a Ford Fiesta that was built in Mexico because it is cheaper to build there. My son has a Toyota built in KY. My daughters both drive a Ford Edge SUV built in Canada. My son-in-law has a Chevy Suburban built in Texas because he is 6 foot 7 inches tall and cannot fold himself into most cars.

Mt father worked for GE for 27 years and was a union official. They priced themselves out of the home appliance market and the factory where he worked is now Chinese. Was my father weak because a GE washer or dryer was more expensive and less reliable than a Samsung washer I now own?

Your idea of "strong Americans" is fantasy based on ignorance and innuendo, wishing for conditions that no longer exist.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Wait a second brother. I thought you are a Democrat. Almost all the Democrats I know are pro union. Are you a republican? By the way many Republicans support unions.

Cops ? They will be on the side of the working man. Police officers are part of unions. Just remember something vitally important sit down strikes are allowed. Americans are allowed to strike. What I’m talking about is pro American. It’s not illegal only the most evil people in the world would view it as some sort of a immoral or illegal action. We need to look at the criminal enterprise of Uber by the way…. and how they miss treat their workers. We need to figure out a way of how to unionize Uber.


$15 an hour is a slave wage. Those folks will be working at Walmart for decades with no way up. Its a horrific way to live and something that is against Christianity. Our l country now is ugly and weak. So here is how it’s done my friend.

One gets a job at Walmart for the intention of starting a union. You get about 10 or 15 workers together. What you can do is make friendships with people on an individual basis and it doesn’t take much to galvanize the people. You get together with 10 or 15 people maybe things grow you get a group of 30 people you strike all at the same time…. occupy the Walmart. They’ll be plenty of food and water for days and weeks and then this will galvanize the American public. They will see Americans striking at Walmart and this will create a chain effect in hope is that workers in Walmart all over the country will go on strike. My god what a beautiful feeling what a beautiful idea. It’s so amazing !!! It’s so pro American the feeling is riveting

Your ignorance is astounding! I worked as government contractor prior to retiring. I made $18 an hour. My daughter makes less than that as an EMT, while attending class to become a paramedic. Slave wage? Ha!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

The only reason we have a country today is because American men and women, black and white people went on strike actions to protest sweat shops years ago. To protest for the eight hour workday… there were sit down strikes where literally workers would occupy their factory. I’m so proud to be an American. I’m so proud to be a Democrat because I know my history. And I know how corrupt and brutal the bad people in the government could be by convincing large swaths Of workers to accept a disgusting life ….to accept living in a shit hole apartment with no way up. This struggle won’t last my friend America will prevail

Apparently not.

 

[JohnDB]

Unions ARE the largest mutual fund institutions running around....they have become the giant that the working class used to fight against collectively.

Now they control the working man completely. And those fat cats who "represent " the unions don't come to work in blue jeans....it's 3 piece suits and ties for them.

That's why there are no strikes....the unions didn't get bought...they became what the common man was fighting against.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

It’s happened before brother

I disagree with you brother. Again with Americans living in trash apartments with no way up. They can be convinced that it is well worth it to occupy a Walmart it’s been done before in a lesser number

Walmart workers begin first in-store sitdown strike in company history

LOS ANGELES - At 12:30 ET today, OUR Walmart members, some of whom were part of the first Walmart strike in October 2012, have just sat down near registers and next to racks of a Walmart store in Crenshaw near here.

www.peoplesworld.org

We could galvanize the mass media over to our side. And if they don’t support us they will be shown to be the con artist criminals that they might be.

Understand something here people go live on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube the whole world would be watching as private security thugs attempt to remove American workers. It’s not gonna work American workers are strong we can be strong and we would defeat the thugs easily. I believe police officers will be on the side of the workers and maybe the private security thugs many of them would eventually realize that they’re doing an evil deed and would not enforce any action upon workers. I mean just think about it the side of some thug forcing a worker to get up and move. boy you talk about a way to galvanize Americans to fight for the worker that is it.

If it’s done properly it would be unstoppable. $15 an hour is a slave wage. We need better jobs in this country.. we need a better country overall.

If we didn’t have the men and women of the American past Who fought and took to the streets for better workers rights…. you know what we would have today. ? We would have sweatshops that would be employing 10 year olds to be working 15 hours a day. We don’t have that because of unions.

Why are you referencing ancient history? None of those conditions exist today. Child labor laws did away with your "sweat shops", not unions. In the state where I grew up, hardly anyone would hire anything younger than 16, even though you could work at age 14, so I never worked while I was in high school and neither did the vast majority of my friends. I was 16 in my senior year of high school and joined the Navy right after I turned 17.. I joined my first union at a Kroger when I was age 19 because I had to do so. My pay was slightly more than minimum wage but because I had to pay union dues, I just about broke even. Unions have done nothing for e in my lifetime as I was a public school teacher after I left the military.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

A hardworking person at Wal Mart making less than say a fraud firefighter at Reedy creek district is why we are dying. It is time to tax excessive pensions in regimented way.

Fraud firefighter? I think you have some issues that need to be resolved.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

History always repeats itself. As workers get more fed up more unions will form.

You seem to be the one who is fed up. Did you ever belong to a union? If not, you need to STFU.

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

History always repeats itself. As workers get more fed up more unions will form.

You're confusing the 50's, 60's and 70's, when America was still a manufacturing powerhouse with today when China is the world's leading manufacturer.
Robotics is rapidly displacing human workers. I think these two factors are the root of the demise of unions in America.
No unions in China. I wonder why?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Give us some ideas Democrats. If there are any other fellow Democrats on this form ……what are your ideas on how one can successfully occupy a Walmart and create better conditions for workers?

Not a Democrat, but if you want to "occupy" a Walmart, your ass will justifiably be spending some time in jail. If you don't like the conditions, quit!


I don't know where you shop but I have been in Walmarts all over the US and NEVER have I seen anything other than a boxed mattress in a store. Such action, if even possible, would get you arrested so fast it would make your head spin.
