Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.
This must stop
They are coming for the Unions and your pensions. Don't even try to say it can't happen, because it's already in progress behind the scenes in the MAGA playbook. They want a subservient worker class, not people that demand worker rights and financial independenace.
All my life I have heard or read that the conservatives have always been the party of lower taxes. It seems that the wealthy and corporations might go bankrupt without yet another reduction in taxes. I have yet to see how that benefits me by having services or programs reduced or eliminated.
How about we increase services and programs. Help workers train for future jobs and pay for the move to where the jobs are. And if the workers do not wish to permanently relocate to where the jobs are, have company supply housing or let the employees deduct the cost of accommodations from their tax
Right to work legislation. Corporations love it, and once you destroy education workers have no idea what it does. Almost 80 years of abuse and racism in some states.
And if they have any money left, sell them trump's meme crypto coins.
It's called capitalism
It's amazing that Amazon is able to keep a work force given their high turnover rate. Some data shows that warehouse workers average about 8-months.
this guy for one
and trump claims to be a union supporter / no he is not who attended his court on the front bench when he was crowned ?
Democrats have been talking of "building" for decades. With your huge platform why aren't you calling for an immediate and total boycott of the country's #1 anti-labor vampire and maga nazi funder? He's literally laughing with every buy now click. Our money is the only leverage we have on them.
In the 1960's, my mother and father worked as a waitress and a bartender- both members of the Hotel/Restaurant UNION. We had medical AND DENTAL insurance because of the union. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? I'm gonna say "Nixon".
📌
Just realizing that at 75 yrs, all I earned (house, health ins., pensions, restful nights, stress-free mornings) were earned working at UNION JOBS. Grateful!
youtu.be/6r5oeNaxyPM?...
Says a lot about CEO's of those mega corps, but it also says a TON about the integrity of your politicians
Dictator trump hates unions
5) Have corporations write laws (e.g., ALEC) alec.org
Again, as a European: I think it is illegal in the EU to fund political parties this way. We have assigned budgets, controlled by government, for parties to run.
Better yet let’s build an internationalist workers democracy! If we don’t exit capitalism it will destroy us! The choice remains Socialism or barbarism!
Thank You Dear Robert ! Sending Love and Light from LA !
The electorate is disgusted with both parties. The polling is clear. Dems are hemorrhaging voters to the unaffiliated category. We The People do not trust the corporatist dems. Any effective presidential campaign from the Dems must include effective campaign finance reform. Remove big money
What are economists saying about Planned Obsolescence and Depreciation?
Government's playbook, as run by the lefties. - Tell the people they can have whatever they want if they vote lefty. - Give them what was promised at very low quality or not at all. - Collect and raise taxes, spending the proceeds poorly. - Blame corporate and billionaires for lefty failings.
True
These geeks studied this back when Regan was president. The fleecing of the middle class has been going on for most of my lifetime. How did anyone think it was gonna be like after 4 decades of NO TAX ON BUSINESSES and the OWNERS of BUSINESSES. 🤷🏻♀️
It's the American way. Since Reagan.
And folks will believe him!!!
If only everyone would realize that the billionaires are the problem.
It's not happenstance that Bezos built a rocket ship to ferry rich people into low orbit that looks like a penis. Kinda a "fuck you" to everyone that can't afford to ride on his toys.
💯💯💯
They are unhealthy rich, they have money that they shouldn't have and so much of it, it's not good for them.
welcome to "the gelded age"
No, because the media and elite have sold us on their neoliberal BS for 40+ years.
The wealthy decided that those with the least have too much
Don’t you think it’s time for revolution and abolishment of both parties?
But, what is "class"? I'm unhappy with the phrases "working class" and "middle class". Is class something you inherit from your parents? Are we allowed to change our class?
I can't stand these "things". I get a gag reaction when I look at these repulsive faces now. Musk, Theil, Trump, Zuckerberg, Bezos and all the rest of these creeps.
This is a concise & complete statement Bob- no need to watch an entire video to understand what is going on.
Thus, Citizens United must be overturned, and this MOFO needs to meet his karma. Then, CONGRESS needs a total clean-up on aisle 2026
6) Use tax-avoided profits to buy politicians. I short: Rigged Market Capitalism.
It’s time for workers to fight back. They need workers, we don’t need billionaires. Besides, it’s the workers who make billionaires, billionaires.
Billionaires get rich by overcharging for their products and. services.
Bezos is the WORST. He tears EVERY attempt to unionize. 🤬
F bezos! Boycott Amazon even tho it is had to do!
Disgusting republicans 💩, hope to see retribution at the 2026 election! 🤞
He is also talking about corporate donors who control the democrat party.
Tis been going on about 200 hundred years and I don't see the "playbook" changing anytime in the near future. And Robert, you are absolutely correct👽
don't forget to purchase seats on the Supreme Court.
Citizens united must be repelled else this wont stop
I'm still on team Luigi. A couple more incidents and they would stop this shit. You forgot they also use profits to buy back their own stocks.
Waiting patiently for the sequel: 'Luigi II, Oligarch Boogaloo'
Walmart does this!
this was incredibly efficient
And was nearly 100% predictable and instantaneous, even in less than optimal conditions, unlike most modern replacements.
agreed
I like gadgets like this that run on clean renewable energy

Amazon is a toxic work environment. Perfect for sadists and narccism It's like working for the GoP. www.grapevine.in/post/put-on-...
Indeed. Add a bit of racism and say that the immigrant is stealing your job.

I wonder how much He’ll laugh when the Dems win congress with a super majority and start taxing BILLIONAIRE’S AT 23% OF THEIR NET !!!!!!!!
I’m boycotting them. I hope America holds congress accountable.
We sure could have used you & Elizebeth Warren together in the White House Sir! Seriously! A Very Intelligent set; & I do not care for a second how tall you are! Keep informing us Sir. Please. Respect 💯!
BINGO!
So far that plan has worked great for Corporations.
Voters have to vote for their own interests. Corporate America can’t literally buy Congress. It takes voters voting for corporate interests instead of their own … to own the libs, I guess.
. REPUBLICAN PARTY - work for the Rich & Far-Right. (no rich taxes, no social programs, no regulation...) DEMOCRAT PARTY - work for the People. (tax rich, smart social programs, smart regulations...) "Vote Left Super Majority & Stop the Rich & Far-Right"

The masses do have power in numbers. Use it. People survived w/o Amazon.
Yeah what happened to all those and I'm Monopoly laws and shit that were supposed to protect the consumers from these fucking corporations. Everything about this country is a shit hole. There's only 600,000 things that need fixed and nobody to fix even one of them
That's WORLDWIDE. Greetings from Germany ;-)
People need to stop shopping amazon and whole foods. This guy is a major dick. 🖕him
They accomplish this thru the fox news/republican propaganda party disinformation platform, Elon's Twitter, OAN, Newsmax, Murdoch's media machine + the right-wing radio mediasphere are the oceans. Their influencers that repeat the Talking Points are the rivers that reach deep into the heartland.
Please reach out to the 4 former commanders in Chief, the 6 former VPs, the many military, and department leaders that have been dismissed or sidelined. It’s time to get together and have a Coup Klatch. Throw in a few constitutional scholars. It’s their legacy
The... good... ish... news? We tried this in the early 1900s. Capitalists keep forgetting that if they get rid of the workers, then there won't be anyone left to buy their goods. Which is basically what happened in the 1900-1920 period and was a major cause of the 1929 crash and then the Depression.
YES! Tired of getting milked
Don’t buy anything from Amazon. I peruse Amazon like a search engine and buy directly from the manufacturer if I can’t get it locally.
Oliver Bullough: “All money corrupts, and big money corrupts bigly.” 🗣️Overturn Citizens United and approve pending legislation!!!📣
How do you think farming works? Parse the land. Have someone else work it. Hang around City Hall. Legally define "farmer" as the land owner. Pass laws benefiting farmers and buying up excess produce.
Reverse Citizens United folks!
HOW?
Legislation once we regain power in 2026!!
So hard for dem leaders to preach this while holding weekly rallies
It’s not only corporations. In “right to work states” family owned business hold all the cards too. They can remove you at any time with no reason and courts historically side with them. During COVID they felt pressure to be better, but now back to old GOP tricks.

Brain dead, perhaps. A friend was convinced the UK’s Queen Elizabeth had died before we were told (probably only the day before)
Yes, I remember that, the BBC were sort of dropping hints that she was very ill and the family were heading over for probably a week before and then on the last couple of days the looks on the royal families faces made me wonder even before it was announced...
Oh come on! The vast majority of people are more than happy to exploit and to advocate for exploitation, when they’re the beneficiaries of the consequences. You can’t end the cycle when you actively and happily participate in exploitation.
Amazon Fulfillment employees, due to their highly vigorous work regimen, should be well prepared to thrive in the wake of the trumpian Jihad.
The difference between US and most other western countries is, that in the US lawmakers and those in power, are unempathic. In most other countries people with power also are mostly empathic.
Is there ANYONE who doesn’t know this?
So true 😒😡
Repeal Citizens United. Pass a law that says money is not speech and corporations are not people. That would fix a lot.
For some reason whenever I see that guy the term pulled apart by horses comes to mind
Boycott big business & the current administration--stop giving them your $$$ & stop paying federal taxes!
www.politico.com/magazine/sto...
Exactly!
How can WE THE PEOPLE eliminate the "Right to Work" states that abuse employees without removing the protection against bad labor unions?
They miss labeled Citizens United 😏😈It should be called what it IS, Corporations United🤨🤨🤨
Corporate America brining back slavery, this time for ALL workers
bringing back!
Corporate greed is astronomical! There is absolutely no chance any of that money will be seen be the workers. Yet Trump is still telling us how much his corporate tax cut will improve workers lives. Does anyone, even his followers, believe his BS anymore.
Looking for a way to get involved in a protest march? Join a Labor Day parade on Monday Sept 1, 2025 Not in a union or official group? No worries, just join the people marching. We are stronger together! Workers over billionaires find an event near you at fiftyfifty.one
This is the inevitable result of capitalism. We can do better.
If I may add to that, it’s not just the workers that get exploited, companies like Walmart have exploited their own customers. Who’s been bagging their own groceries and their own stuff that they buy at Walmart for the last several years? The customers. That’s unpaid labor right there.
I’ve seen the advent of this. Started with the placement of HR. I’m so glad I’m retired
It's not enough a massive percentage of decent jobs will disappear in a few years. Starve the workers now? Some people just don't know how to chill out. The real question is "what will we do with all these people." We already know how some people want to answer this question. 🍉
Yes it is and I’m done with that! We have choices and I’m making mine for the benefit of my family.
6. Campaign on being pro-worker.
And that same scheme was copied throughout Latin America... Mexico has not been the exception.
Ya know, my union didn't even teach ONE HOUR of labor history in America. Got blank stares when I asked why they didn't.
Meant in their apprentice programs. NOT ONE HOUR.
Time to eat the Rich. Tax the Rich until there are no Poor. #EndCitizensUnited
WHAT'S THE PLAN?
And the rich still got richer
This is nothing new. Exploitation of the working class has always been the norm. Perhaps someday the human race will be intelligent enough too correct the system. Right now our government is trying to normalize some very bad actions. The maga party is in full coup attempt against our democracy.
Thanks for reminding me why I quit Prime, closed my Amazon credit card account and stopped shopping on Amazon.
Very Weak sick souls that run these types or corporations
United we stand. Divided we fall.. Power to the people !! Once again Americans must fight a tyrant
All of that is why OasisThemepark is designed to be accountable to the USA gov & the internet itself. Sadly everyone at OTP has more integrity than the 45/47 USA gov. I actually had a reason to hit the 2025 IRS with the USA gov & the internet. I wish I was joking. OTP vp
Management is a union that controls all the money. Workers must have a union that controls all the work. That's the only way to force fairness.
Well done!!

Aren’t the worker/slaves revolting by quiet quitting?
Change "Congress" to "Parliament" and you have the UK blueprint.

AFL-CIO? Didn’t they flip from Biden at 70-30 support to 30-70 Harris support?

Sorry for my confusion. I asked this question before and was given the AFL-CIO as that flip flopping Union.

Umm guys/gals... the problem isn't Trump; he is the result of decades of far right policies both parties pushed at the request of the donor class. Want to end this; listen to the left as they have solutions to address this.

The assault on the working class since August 1971 is very well documented if you/me research it. It's not very well documented in the media; as the elite want to tell you it's your/mine fault they don't pay.
Repeal Citizens United. That would be a good start.
Corporatism that manipulates government is fascism, and this has been going on for some time in America. It’s pretty much business as usual. The country has basically hit critical-mass.
That lack of representation is part of the process of dictatorship.
Door Dash and those food delivery apps pay poverty wages! They offer mere dollars for the drivers to go several miles in their own vehicle to deliver meals that people pay $20-70 for a couple people to eat, and take a big part of the sale from the restaurant as well, besides charging the customer.
I love my union!!!
Sadly this didn't age well. Trump/ Musk destroyed the Department of Labour and are working on OHSA. They've also ripped up all federal workers CBA'S. He is as anti-union and anti-worker as it gets.
Trickle down economics was the one of the greatest snow jobs of Americans.
Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss is a big advocate of the same rubbish
You nailed it Professor 🙌
Unfortunately that's pretty accurate.
Indeed the real vampires. Soon workers and consumers will be sucked dry. What happens then?
