    I think the real criteria is how much effect it will have on those corrupt assholes’ wealth.

    They know blowing up the fed will make them immediately worse off, so they don’t allow it. They know that the mass firing of union-protected workers will weaken public unions, so they let it go through.

    They’re on the take and one of the primary drivers of the reactionary political project.

      If the consequence of mass-firing union workers isn’t the courts reinstating them, then the consequences simply become wildcat strikes, sympathy strikes, breaking scabs’ kneecaps, etc. instead.

      Somebody needs a reminder that things like the National Labor Relations Act and Executive Order 10988 were created to protect them from us, not the other way around.
