Wooden shoes are so uncomfortable though

Toss em in something with gears to make them more comfortable.

It's like the best way to prevent police brutality and murder: simply make them individually liable for damages and require them to carry insurance for it. Bad actions make you uninsurable, and the rest of your department more risky (expensive).

Ironically the reason we have this problem is because the armed guards of capital are one of the only jobs that still have strong unions.

Union is underselling their mafia racket.

So what I'm hearing is let’s just disband public service unions. Sorry for teachers union but we can make that work better for them anyway if police cant have a union either. Just take all the money from them, and give it to teachers, and one half of the problem is solved.

Or reclassify police from “public good” (less likely).

Sorry but government employees shouldn't -need- or even be eligible for unions because thats what elections are for. Unhappy with the protections of your job? Ballot initiative them better. Or get bent. One or the other.

Unions were the compromise between violence against the capital from the working class.

Hypothetically, I really hope this happens. Hypothetically, like once a week for the next year.

That's right, kids: try it at work!

Usually what the owner class does is push for tougher laws instead

If they used to be houses, then they are were-houses.

If it used to be a house, then it's a was-house.

Oh no how unfortunate.

If the cost of keeping humans is higher than the cost of automating, they'll just automate the process. Or have the place ran by wire, where humans pilot lifts remotely.

There were only 8 people in that whole warehouse when it burned. It clear they already cut staff to an insanely low level. If they could have automated those 8 jobs away, they already would have.

Stop preemptively giving up your power by assuming you have none.

You can burn down an automated warehouse too.
