On the bright side, the hosts came out immediately and literally called bullshit on his explanation and then outlined why its bullshit.

“But, if I pay other people more, I get less, and my yacht won’t fuel itself! Think of my wife unable to get liposuction and collagen injections. She’ll lose her perfect ratio! Why won’t anyone think about the millionaires?”

The food people eat in the US is not the normal food that we eat. You see most people in the US hate themselves and hate others. The only way the world will be a better place is by stop following US media.

Labor laws fix this. We shouldn't need to gang up on employers.

That way only union members get fair pay. Most people dont have a union to join. More name calling for suggesting fixing the root of the problem? Good talk.

Most people dont have a union to join.

All the more reason to try and unionize their non-union job. The IWW will gladly help you unionize with your coworkers.

I'm fortunate to live in a state with better laws than federal, and have a marketable skill anyways. I'd love some more vacation/sick days and decent health care, but that's america. Definitely no unions happening where I work.

Unions are the source of basically all labor laws. Unions fix this.

[–] Elektrobank@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Unions try to fix it, by trying to fix labor laws. The end goal is fixing labor laws right?

[–] hypelightfly@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No.

Then... What?

[–] hypelightfly@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You question isn't clear.

What's the goal?

[–] hypelightfly@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Living wage jobs and fair compensation for work.

[–] Elektrobank@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

But not for everyone, just union members. Got it
