- anotherhue 3y agoI don't know, the power balance between corporates and flesh-people seems lop-sided enough that a little intimidation might be healthy.
- derelicta 3y agoObviously its the workers who are greedy, and not the oligarch-owner of Tesla.
- salawat 3y agoOh please, you're perfectly comfortable with coercion being employed on a daily basis. You just want it aimed at other people. If your first instinct is to call the police, you have no business calling out a labor force for being "coercive". Further, not one threat has been issued vs. Tesla. The labor force have just collectively stated "Don't like our terms? Do it yourself." That is not a threat. That's a refusal to associate. Unless you want to try to sell me that refusal to take someone's money is an act of violence now. If you are, then the gulf between our points of view is so wide as to preclude civil reconciliation.
