I'm not sure I'd consider it "shocking" more like "on par"

Right?! It's like the guy literally modeled himself after Trump from The Apprentice.
He's so dumb he probably thinks Trump is a good businessman.
As a western European, to me the problem isn’t that they’re fired on the spot, but that a company can actually do that. You guys should’ve fought for your rights.
Population density, it's easy to protest when the capital is just 30 minutes away by bike like it is in a lot of Western European countries.
Conversely, I'm an American, it will take days for me to reach the nearest major city by car... it will take me around 2.5 hours to reach the newest minor City.
I live in North Carolina by the way.
You could drive through three countries in Western europe, by the time I could get to my nation's capital. My nation's capital is in virginia, that is the state north of me.
Much of our population lives in California, Texas, and New York, all much much further away from Washington DC then where I live.
Combine that with the fact that a lot of us can't take any days off of work without falling way behind on our bills, and even if the capital was somewhere where we could all get to it to hold picket signs... there is simply too much to lose, the workers of the world can't Unite when there is more on the table than our chains. I hate it here
Ok I'm not even from the states, but you should be able to get to Washington DC in less than a day from North Carolina. Hell, anywhere on the east coast is within 5 hours from a huge metropolitan centre
Fellow Tarheel here, and bud if it takes you "days" to drive to the nearest major city, you should have your car looked at. I drove from San Diego to Raleigh in 60 hours once.
Notice how that's almost three days
This example was provided as an estimated upper limit - you could drive to basically the furthest-away big city within 60 hours. Other cities would be substantially less than that, because that’s an upper limit.
Driving from a small town on the western tip of NC… let’s say Franklin, NC, to Washington DC takes only 8 hours... but driving to Knoxville, TN or Atlanta, GA would only take you 2 hours.
If that drive takes you “days” by car, you might have an issue.
Do you walk to those cities or what?
Do you think that in Europe we all live right next to the capital or even next to one of the top 4 biggest cities of our country?
I literally already said that the times listed were driving. America as a country is too big for protest to be a feasible solution.
Why don't you protest on the steps of the company you work at?
Shocking to who?
I am in the odd area of "I'm poor, my family is rich"
My grandma asked me if she should buy Tesla stock. Glad I told her Hell No.
I don't understand why anyone idolizes this bastard. There are too many bootlickers out there, which is why nothing ever changes and assholes like him can continue to exploit people.
Tesla is also known for its shit build quality. So why not buy an EV from practically anyone else?
Sounds like Tesla factory workers should form a union.
