Amazon workers vote down Alabama union campaign
www.theverge.com
The second-ever vote on a US Amazon workers’ union.

If you remove this one too you'll truly be showing your humorless thin-skinned selves.

    Americans sure, american workers struggling in the pandemic and being scared they’ll get fired if they vote yes? Seems like bad international solidarity, smh

      Americans sure, american workers

      Useless distinction. The same workers continue to enlist and deploy. Being bombed is worse than being fired.

        But these are workers, not soldiers. Dunno, I feel regret that people working in these conditions can be so scared/mistrusting of their fellow workers to vote in such a way :( plus that’s exactly what bezos is thinking: “I can fuck them harder”

                Someone who says shit like:

                The people who have to piss in bottles still trust their masters and would rather not have a union. You people are house trained dogs that need their master to tell them when to shit. Absolutely pathetic and worthy of no respect.

                And:

                hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha you Americans are so fucking dumb. Keep pissing in bottles bitch.

                is clearly not looking for any sort of discussion or explanation. They're just being a piece of shit, gloating to make themselves feel better about their shitty life.

                    I know you don't care, it's for the other people reading the thread to realize you just want to laugh at workers for not accomplishing an incredibly difficult task.

                    In the end it wasn’t me that wished somebody else to be hit by a car.

                    Yeah you're just taking the completely harm-neutral position of mocking the failed unionization vote

          wrong

          However, there is an association between family income and military service: as family income increases, the likelihood of having ever served in the military decreases. A closer examination of the relationship between family income and military service reveals that the family incomes of those who have never enlisted in the military are somewhat higher than those who have served at the low end of the distribution (56.25% higher at the 5th percentile, 42.85% higher at the 10th percentile, and 28.57% higher at the 25th percentile), are no different between the 50th and 90th percentile, and are substantially higher (140%) at the 95th percentile. Therefore, among the working class, those who have served in the military have tended to come from poorer circumstances, while there is low representation of the children of the very rich. Indeed, additional analysis (not shown here) finds that the highest income quartile was significantly less likely to have served than the lowest, while the second and third quartiles were not significantly different from the lowest quartile in their likelihood to serve. In sum, the economic elite are very unlikely to serve in the military.

            It’s international proletariat, not proletariat which I like. Listen to stories of workers in warehouses and find some compassion: absence of air conditioning, hurting backs and knees, strip searching on the exit.

            They are working in the warehouse, but getting fired and without a job is more likely to enlist them in military, if that’s your concern about imperialism, even that is shit outcome.
