What's it called when the central govt. controls workers?
Oh yeah, DICTATORSHIP.

seems you left a word out to deceive the truth
@Mott-The-Hoople saidIt's a blatant power grab. This will put corporations in the mindset to do the same to their own workers, with Trump's and Musk's blessing. Anyone who still thinks Trump is protecting the interests of the little guy and the working man is deluded.

@Mott-The-Hoople saidDo I take it you think labor unions are a bad thing?
Unionization is your power grab.

@Mott-The-Hoople saidI guess you never heard of the ten yo kids forced to work in mines or the way 19th century bosses would tell their workers, you want heat in this cold climate? bring your own coal.
Unionization is your power grab.
Or dudes forced to work 60 hours or more a week or get fired.
I was in a union and they saved my sorry ass from getting fired. On a highly technical job where I had to measure the radiation coming off a measurement tool I found radiation penetrating the box it was housed in.
Reported it to bosses and they said forget about it.
I didn't and filed a complaint with the government and they tried to fire me for being a whistleblower but that radiation was hitting workers right at the bench they worked on and I even found a decent solution to the problem, putting a half inch thick aluminum slab about 4X6 inches under the tool stopped the radiation but that didn't mean jack to the bosses.
The Union stood up for me, that was not a firing offense and the bosses relented and I went back to work.
The tool used Iron 59 an isotope of iron that is highly radioactive and is useful to measure the thickness of a titanium layer done by an electron evaporator where they wanted 500 nanometer thickness layer and it did a decent job of measuring it. But the radiation seal was not great which is why I alerted authorities where the radiation was whacking people sitting at the bench were the tool was located.
Anyway, the Union saved me.
@sonhouse saidwhat is the halving thickness of aluminum?

@sonhouse saidSeen this yet? Trump's budget curtails funding and enforcement capabilities of OSHA.

Anyone who thinks Trump cares about the working man is deluded.
@Mott-The-Hoople saidYou don't understand when I said it was a half inch thick slab of aluminum that stopped the radiation?
what is the halving thickness of aluminum?
Where did you see halving? I was pretty clear when I said it was an aluminum slab half inch thick.
@moonbus saidYeah, can't have the competence thing going on in MAGAT world.

@sonhouse saidIt's not incompetence; it's rampage capitalism. These policies benefit no one but billionaire CEO factory owners. It is bloddy obvious that neither Trump nor Vance thinks he will ever be held accountable by the courts or the electorate.
Yeah, can't have the competence thing going on in MAGAT world.
@moonbus saidTrump's 34 felony counts have not been written under the table, it is still active and as soon as Trump is no longer POTUS he will face sentencing for those crimes.

@sonhouse saidYou dont have a clue about the ability of aluminum to block radiation. A stone would have been Better than aluminum.
You don't understand when I said it was a half inch thick slab of aluminum that stopped the radiation?
Where did you see halving? I was pretty clear when I said it was an aluminum slab half inch thick.
Aluminum has a halving value of 2.7. With you working in this environment you would think you know this.😂
A Halving value is how radiation blockage is calculated.

@moonbus saidHe is out for the little guy. Prob is a lot of little guys want to depend on government for their lives, and this makes it a real conundrum for Trump, not knowing which ones are the dependents, the losers. They ruin it for all the other guys who want to be self reliant.
It's a blatant power grab. This will put corporations in the mindset to do the same to their own workers, with Trump's and Musk's blessing. Anyone who still thinks Trump is protecting the interests of the little guy and the working man is deluded.
Which side are you drumming for?
@sonhouse saidHa here's sonhouse on Chapter 19 of the Jan 6 Sagas.
Trump's 34 felony counts have not been written under the table, it is still active and as soon as Trump is no longer POTUS he will face sentencing for those crimes.
Let us put this prediction in our journals, that Trump will be in chains on the '34 felonies' of Trump!!!! 34 journal entries on the same matter. Like if i do my granny in with 34 stab wounds, is that one felony, or 34?
Ohhhhhsonhouse.............................
