People are apathetic at this point. When a large amount of americans can barely afford to live while threatened with replacement while the economy booms on the backs of their claimed obsolescence, they don't care that a billionaire could've gotten hurt, especially when that billionaire is working against their interests.
- strongpigeon 7mo agoI mean, it's also scary because I don't think it works. People should demand a new deal and lobby for that. Throwing molotovs doesn't help with that.
- eschaton 7mo agoWhat happens when lobbying for a new deal fails? Do the people just shrug and accept the fate their feudal lords have determined for them?
- nxm 7mo agoand what happens when people don't want a new deal? Violence is ok then?

- lazyasciiart 7mo agoThats what the Pinkertons were for, yes.
- pixel_popping 7mo agoIt clearly did open a discourse on HN at least :)
- yoyohello13 7mo ago> People should demand a new deal and lobby for that. Lol, really? You think there is any chance of that happening in this current political climate? Any whisper at all of rights for workers is immediately shot down as Godless Communist rhetoric.
- stackghost 7mo ago>I mean, it's also scary because I don't think it works. People should demand a new deal and lobby for that. The data has conclusively proven that moneyed interests prevail over the interests of the people. Every single time.
- alexitosrv 7mo agoOh yeah!, I forgot that staying silent and complying quietly is way better!! In 1700s they should have used that instead of guillotines.
- Redoubts 7mo agoYeah, probably? The french revolution sucked ass for everyone involved.
- sigmarule 7mo agoPeople don’t lobby, corporations do.
- hackable_sand 7mo agoThen get to work
