Actually he put it on. Facilitated by lawsuits against news agencies that they settle instead of fight. They will be deferential going forward. News has been broken. Those cowed will be producing mostly pr0-d0n0ld propaganda going forward. You must be so happy.

Which side are you on, Dervy? The workers or the government scabbers?

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

I stand with the workers and against the "government scabbers" you support.

Depending on who you are referring to. I'm unsure and so is Copilot...

Copilot: It sounds like the commenter was framing the issue as a clear-cut conflict, but "government scabbers" seems to be an unusual or unclear term. Traditionally, a "scab" refers to someone who crosses a picket line to work during a strike, undermining the efforts of striking workers. In this context, the commenter might be using "government scabbers" metaphorically, perhaps accusing certain government officials or institutions of siding with corporations against workers’ rights. [end]

People are being fired. They aren't bringing in "scabbers" to fill in for them. Therefore you must be referring to "government officials or institutions of siding with corporations against workers’ rights".

I oppose this while you support it. As "fascism" is a good term in your vernacular, to be a "scabber" must also be a positive to you.

The Government is Unionized Scabbers... a "union" or "trust" of scabs who hate the workers and work against real workers rights (like Trust Busting).

In a recent NBC survey of registered voters in America that gaugedit clearly shows that Socialism in America is much greater that we had first thought.
For example, that a look at the “Socialist” Blogs right here in America. They may call the,selves Progressives, but reading them carefully you would see that deep down these LEFTY LUNATICS are clearly of the Socialist persuasion. The Hate for our President will tell you that right off the bat. Are these people NUTS? Clearly they are, and Clearly they don’t belong here

WTF??

WTF??

The term "scab" is a derogatory term for non-union workers who cross picket lines during a strike or refuse to join a union. It's used to describe people who undermine the striking workers' bargaining power.

Definition provided due to you clearly not knowing what the term "scab" means.

"Unionized Scabbers" is an oxymoron.

WTF?? Your brain tumor must be growing. Given all these replies that make no sense.

If government workers oppose/work against the rights of workers in the private sector (your claim?) isn't that a policy issue and indicate the people at the top need different direction or to be replaced? That's not what Musk is doing with his mass firings.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Copilot: ...framing government workers as "scabs" could imply that their roles are seen as competing with or undermining private-sector jobs. If the commenter is advocating for privatization, they might believe that reducing the size of government and shifting responsibilities to private companies would create more opportunities in the private sector and align with their vision of "real workers' rights".

However, this perspective overlooks the essential services government workers provide, often in areas where the private sector may not be as effective or equitable, such as public safety, education, and infrastructure. Privatization can sometimes lead to cost-cutting measures that prioritize profit over quality or accessibility, which could harm the very workers and communities the commenter claims to support.

It’s an interesting argument, but it simplifies a complex issue. Balancing public and private roles in the economy requires careful consideration of efficiency, equity, and the long-term impact on workers and society. [end]

If that accurately summarizes your argument, then I'm on the side of "the government scabbers". Given that I'm opposed to the privatization of essential services provided by the government. Providing these services is why government exists.

Government workers are unionized members of the Professional Managerial Class (PMC), who do naught but kowtow to the corporate oligarchy for a "surplus salary" found on a GS table. They represent the boot-on-the-neck of your typical private industry worker.
