Tesla dealerships are getting protested and, in some cases, vandalized. Sales are down on 9 of the top 10 countries Tesla sells in. Yet Tesla stock is up. Twitter is a cesspool of nazi-themed bots, and somehow just pulled in $1bn and raised its valuation back up to $44bn.

How is any of this possible? It seems really artificial to me, but I don’t really understand business.

    We suffer today because we allowed the right to strip away workers rights. Entire generations have been convinced they are better off without collective bargaining.

    Everything else is pure fucking noise.

    Globalization is the excuse they use for why unions are bad but there are tons of jobs that cannot be unions with terrible wages so clearly globalization is not the problem but it is a very convient excuse because we get to blame Those People.

    You’re still relying on making this personal. You aren’t at pure of thought as think yourself as you mouth these well established platitudes.

    The idea I am discussing here is a pure libertarian stance on commerce and I understand why you are unable to label it correctly as the American Libertarian are just anti-tax morons who are too embarrassed to call themselves republicans.

    The government should not be protecting industries via tariffs. Trump supporters love tariffs and agree with your stances therefore you are a Trump lover.

    See how easy that was to paint you as something you likely are not? It’s far easier to label people so you can dismiss them than to attempt understanding a perspective that conflicts with your own.

      Call it libertarian all you want, it’s still the neoliberal stance, Trump just came and “switched things around” because he thinks of himself as anti establishment but the only thing he’s managed to do so far is reduce the number of jobs created and reduce the US workforce.

      And since you call yourself a libertarian, you’re off to the block list because I don’t need people like you in my life.

      Buhbye!
