Amazon and Space X are fighting in court to have the National Labor Relations Board declared unconstitutional.

This means the two richest men on earth want to dismantle the agency that holds them accountable for union busting.

Nothing terrifies them more than worker power.

@rbreich Let's make a deal. They can get rid of the NLRB, but we can go back to bombing and targeted assassinations. Sounds good to me.🔧

@rbreich Yeah, and this working class still continues using these platforms! Who is the dumbest?

@rbreich Do you think Lochner Era jurisprudence is the endgame they are looking for? It seems SCOTUS might have appetite for that kind of reactionary activism.

@rbreich It's worth pointing out that Amazon, SpaceX, Trader Joe's are trying to get the NLRB declared unconstitutional specifically because Biden's NLRB has consistently sided with workers against corporate exploitation. The New Deal agencies can do good work if they're allowed to work. Oligarchs hate this one weird trick!

@rbreich it’s not like they have the tools Biden had with the rail workers. What do you expect them to do?

@rbreich Not true.
Nothing terrifies them more than not being ludicrously rich.

@rbreich buying from Bezos and Musk is effectively funding the reintroduction of feudalism.

Just don't.

@rbreich Amazon as in Blue Origin?

If they win, does this mean t hat Taft-Hartley is also unconstitutional.
Rhetorical question give the right-wing nature of our judiciary. @rbreich

Why do you always leave out Trader Joe's?

Trader Joe's is doing the same thing! Call a villain a villain!

@rbreich Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate your willingness and skill to observe and report. I only wish I had a few more heads as the data load is substantial lately.

@rbreich Not especially terror as it is disdain driving them & a SCOTUS interested in returning to 1812.

@rbreich What good does this information do? I see you on my feed a lot, and you just post this type of "did you know" kind of thing, and then...? What's the end game? It's frustrating to see this because I know this information already. I vote to try and fix these issues, I limit my purchasing power to perceived better business, I stopped eating meat and limit auto use... I do a lot of things to try and make a difference, and I also know that I'm not making one.

@rbreich Worker uprisings are why every town and city have stone armories. Not invasions.
