    The real story here is that a union was willingly giving money to Elon Musk

              the union doesn’t defend worker rights, workers do, the union is an organizational structure to assist and organize the striking workers both inwardly facing and externally facing, and part of that external facing is paying $7 to have the blue checkmark.

              and you certainly don’t “hire” a union

          Damn, well they shouldn’t buy any Internet services, cars or bikes made from a corporation then. Unionists are going to walk to work less they be hypocrites.

          It’s silly to think you can participate in the economy without dealing with a corporation.
