What are you going to do, just destroy an entire farrier industry? Think of the economy we can’t build roads to other cities when we need to take care of <insert things we can work on fixing today without ignoring new frontiers and technologies>.

Just kidding, gl on the update and hope it goes smoothly

Over 70 million including many retirees, orphans, and disabled workers. The people most in need of help and the reason that trying to run a government like a capitalist business is one of the dumbest forms of government organization ever. A quick way to radicalize someone against you is to harm their family or take their money.

Student and worker unions striking together would build momentum for non union workers to strike, which is exactly why wealthy politicians outlawed it in 1947. They literally outlawed worker solidarity under Taft Hartley because it’s obviously effective. You don’t need more than 5-10% of the workforce striking before things grind to a halt, especially if you are coordinating along logistics and supply chains.

Look at effective recent strikes like UAW, start with several strikes across critical supply chains, and when management engages in bad faith negotiations keep adding more strikes.

Ah hell, that’s how I first read it then I second guessed myself on the irony later!

Whether there is another cause that is common to both events is irrelevant to the example. The example is to demonstrate the fact that while A and B are correlated, neither A causes B nor B causes A are true predicates. Just like the discovery of Pluto and autism diagnosis are correlated to start around the same year, there’s no evidence of the casual link where discovering Pluto causes autism diagnosis or autism diagnosis causes Pluto discovery.

No, the opposite; it’s a classic example showing that correlation doesn’t necessitate causation. I was just playing with the phrasing to imply the humorous inverse that there is a casual link.
