French workers threaten factory for payouts (Lazy Americans, this is how you do it)

French workers threaten to blow up factory | Industries | Consumer Goods & Retail | Reuters

Workers at collapsed French car parts maker New Fabris threatened on Sunday to blow up their factory if they did not receive payouts by July 31 from auto groups Renault and Peugeot to compensate for their lost jobs.

New Fabris was declared in liquidation in April, so the workers stand to get no redundancy money, although they are entitled to draw state unemployment benefit.

What can I say? At least the French still have their balls. Here in America, Goldman Sachs and the major financial institutions basically pulled the same scam with Congress and robbed the American people of trillions. And what was the reaction at home in America? Nothing, absolutely nothing. Americans are pathetic and deserve absolutely no respect.

Perhaps if French workers spent more time working and less time rioting over working too much, the factory would be able to generate enough revenue to stay open...:rofl

No, our Liberal government robbed the tax payers of millions.

No, Goldman Sachs did under the cover of the Bush administration.

And it was a lot more than mere "millions" boy, it was hundreds of billions up front, with Goldman standing to earn trillions over the future because of this perverse relationship between banks and government.

Tell me, what would it take for you to get your rifle out and start fighting back?
 
French workers/unionists are really hardcore when it comes to stuff like this. Although it should be noted that "holding hostage" in this instance basically amounts to being locked in their office.

Actually I like Honduras did it when one of their politicians attempted to commit treason, they exiled his ass without a penny to his name.

You would have to convince me that armed revolution had a chance of working.

What would it take to convince you to make a lot of money and see your ideals become action with your dollars?

I can understand that.

Goldman Sachs and the various insolvent Wall Street firms would have to be allowed to fail. That would signal some serious change, in my opinion.

I agree. Not an answer to my question though.

Well maybe you can rephrase it.

... That may end up way off topic, but... sure.

You off and on speak of "revolution" - fighting back against they/them/the enemy/choose some nouns. Having given it a lot of thought, the only means of protest or dispute that seems to have worth in our world is economic.

If there is a revolution, it will be economic. To succeed it must prosper in direct competitive with current economic models. If it is closer to any ideal, it will be because this works better.

Bringing guns to a money fight is like bringing a knife to a gun fight.

Here's my question again - yeah, it is just as rhetorical as yours.

Lol. Very impressive. I am unsure how to respond - your methods of debate are so very .... thoughtful.

So, I am going to guess that you mean I am suppose to respond to your incredible use of the **** symbol by providing a practical critique of means in our society to persuade you to consider my view.

If so, sure, why not. I think that calls for a different thread; I will give it a shot tomorrow.
