    Trade Unions have been class traitors for over a decade. They regularly come out in support of politicians who want to and do gut labor rights and power during their administrations. These trade union guys are basically just scabs who joined the union who will sell out other labor if it means they can also get rid of minorities.

    Randal: All those innocent contractors hired to do a job were killed- casualties of a war they had nothing to do with. (notices Dante's confusion) All right, look-you're a roofer, and some juicy government contract comes your way; you got the wife and kids and the two-story in suburbia-this is a government contract, which means all sorts of benefits. All of a sudden these left-wing militants blast you with lasers and wipe out everyone within a three-mile radius. You didn't ask for that. You have no personal politics. You're just trying to scrape out a living.

    Sure, not like there's anything more useful in need of building. Like, say, housing. Or even the factories Trump is trying to bring into existence with tariffs.

    9/10 I'm pro union. This falls under that 1/10 where I'm not. Frankly speaking data centers shouldn't even be a factor given how much infrastructure alone in the US needs to be more or less ripped up and replaced not even getting into things that'd fall under quality of life like putting awnings with solar over parking lots or some shit.

    Datacenters bring next to no permanent jobs.
