Want to reiterate - fuck Elon Musk

 
When you read the link , it’s all based on a rather benign tweet we all read a year ago, how is this news?

You must have missed the part where 1. Elon’s tweets are considered official company communication at Tesla, Elon threatened the compensation of union organizers and 3 fired the lead organizer without just cause.
 
It's crazy the way Elon makes people work for him by paying them. Fuck that guy.

Hard to believe Amazon would want people to work when it's hot outside.

So many variations of the same bootlicking opinion all mysteriously left half finished. Your repartee isn’t clever enough for you to expect people to read between the lines.
 
Bob needs a damn vasectomy if that's the case. He's well on his way to Duggar territory.
 
The Republican Christmas Carol: Successful Capitalism and Lazy Employees

The Ghost of Christmas Past would show up to Bob Cratchit and show him the avocado toast he shouldn’t have bought.
 
That’s the Ghost of Christmas Present showing him the fridge, microwave, 24” flat screen TV he has which means he isn’t poor.
 
Musk should be in prison after the Fremont factory deaths. Instead, he’s the richest man in the world.

There are at least two inaccuracies. 1, 1843 England work week was not the 40 hour one used to calculate the hourly wage. He was working at least 50 hours and quite possibly 72 (six 12 hour days).

Second, the method of calculating wage change may well severely over estimate the purchasing power equivalent of that wage. Other methods of bridging the 150 year + gap would get equivalent purchasing power of about $100 per week.
 
This is small scale, 7 workers, but if you want to be a scab pop culture writer the AV Club will soon be hiring.

 
Demanding people move to work for a pop culture site is beyond stupid.

was just coming in to post this. very sad. the AV Club has been my go-to pop culture site for years and years. G/O Media has ruined yet another fantastic publication. What a dumpster fire of a company. Private equity ownership should be banned.
