The Nebraska state Occupational Safety and Health Administration office offered no comment on Col. Maxwell’s summary execution of a regional manager caught smoking near a propped-open emergency exit.
WE CAN DREAM BIGGER
You could probably make a good comic with this concept
Just have villains like Cost-Cutting Cal or The Break Breaker
Make it like The Punisher, where it's just regular ~~mob~~ bosses getting merced
I want to militrise the mail cops. That would be something to behold.
Thud thud thud
what's that noise?
"OPEN UP"
oh fuck
"YOU DIDN'T PUT THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF STAMPS ON YOUR POSTAGE"
"YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE PIGS"
Come to the west coast and boy do I have a treat for you
Thought about this the other day. How nice it would be if worker safety and rights were protected with the same sort of unbridled ferocity that now protects property and capital. Wage theft should mean jail time. Unpaid overtime should be a felony. Making your employees work in unsafe conditions should mean years behind bars. If you can go to jail for stealing from the cash register you should go to jail for shorting pay checks.
Of course a carceral state is not a solution to anything really but it feels good to fantasize about ya know.
I'm an abolitionist and feel the same way.
Like, truthfully, I want a system that recognizes workers and the people they serve as equal stakeholders, with capitalist middlemen not even considered. That way there's no one to incarcerate.
That said, I've used fire and health code to stick the state on bad bosses and I'm not ashamed. When the deck is stacked you've got to bite, kick and scream.
