good grief i did not say that in any way. let’s try this a different way: you evidently think that this won’t benefit waymo? please explain why not.
reid spice (@reidspice.bsky.social) reply parent
look i am pro union! but you’re not seeing things clearly if you don’t recognize that this is good news for waymo. this is basic economics, not some opinion about whether unions or good or bad (and, again, i support unions). it is possible to be pro-union AND recognize the dynamics of the market.
reid spice (@reidspice.bsky.social) reply parent
where did i say i was against unions or drivers rights? i am only saying one thing: waymo is happy about this. you’re inferring things that i am not saying.
reid spice (@reidspice.bsky.social) reply parent
umm no fox news here. this is just basic facts: waymo has no drivers, therefore no unions. that is going to give them an advantage in the market. not saying anything negative about drivers or unions but this very clearly benefits waymo.
reid spice (@reidspice.bsky.social) reply parent
exactly. no one is happier about this than waymo.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
