I mean. If labor unions killed people. Like they did during some of the coal mine riots. It gives the police and at times military freedoms to retaliate.

I grew up where the sheriff of my county killed 25 people in a single day before miner unions were allowed to exist.

Look up the Williamsport Mine Field Riots. They treated these people like animals. Just like the CCP treats their lower workers.

I’m not a tankie. I just know what happened on the ground that led up to the violence. I was in a masters program for counter terror.

They were manipulated by CIA plants that were murdering Chinese army soldiers. So. There’s that part of the story that caused the states response.

We technically have a space in a city by me. But it’s like 12 random desks and some video conferences rooms. No way we could actually go back to the office. That sucks for you guys tho. My old man lost his long time remote role and is back on the road again every day.

This is why I’m so happy I’m 3000 miles away from my office. No way I’m getting a call back to office. Never was and never will be.

I remember on a Meets call with my Israeli coworkers and they had to go to the bomb shelter because of rockets.

Ya. It’s disappointing. But there are so many foundries in Israel. I’m not surprised. This is also why I don’t believe in terrorists. If anyone really wanted to stop Israel. They would target their foundries. But no one would dare mess with capitalism on that level.
