US supreme court sides with Starbucks in union case over fired employees
Justices throw out lower court’s approval of injunction ordering coffee chain to rehire seven employees
I never would have guessed that the captured regulators would choose the owner class over the working class.
100The regulators are the National Labor Relations Board, who brought the suit attempting to force Starbucks to re-hire them. The regulators are doing their jobs in this case. The courts, especially the Suprene Court, are the ones captured.

Terrible, but unsurprising.
59Shocker.
28The real question is why would you want to be rehired. I understand a settlement check but I mean were you really digging the job that much to begin with?

This would not have happened if the non-voting bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe idiots had bothered to vote in 2016, allowing republicans to stage a executive and legislative right-wing coup of the supreme court.
But here we are. And their ostrich head-in-the-sand response to this ruling and their passively complicit role in it will most likely and idiotically be, once again, yOu SeE? bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe
"I voted once ten years ago, and I didn't get my pony overnight. bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe"
Now thanks to these lazy, mediocre "muh purity" reprobates cutting off their noses to spite ALL our faces, things are now sliding faster toward a "yee-haw!" banana republic from within.5Bruh, there's a right wing majority on the bench because Obama in an unprecedented move, gave his Supreme Court pick to Trump.
-4This is... not true. Orrin Hatch said if Obama nominated someone like Merrick Garland, the Republican Senate would approve it. Obama nominated him, then the Republican Senate said "psych."
The checks and balances were broken by the Republican Senate because they decided "advice and consent" could be abused to mean "wait until there's a Republican president."
The public decided the solution to this was selecting a Republican president and keeping a Republican Senate. It's a perfect plan for Republicans, because people on the left just blame Democrats so that the same pattern can happen again next time.
12Well, Obama tired playing by the rules to which the Republicans just kicked the pieces over and shat all over the board.

Americans while their unionization efforts are being destroyed: guess I'll buy another iPhone/venti latte/amazon product/...
-94Hey fuck face, I didn't ask to be born here, and there isn't really other things to buy in America. So fuck you and the anti-solidarity horse you rode in on.
Also, what a ridiculous leap of logic to make. "Stupid Americans, always," shuffles deck of ridiculous hypotheticals "celebrating union losses by buying iPhones.
58You didn't ask to be born there, but you don't have to belong to the group of Americans that consume without any regard.
Also, how is knowingly buying products from anti-union companies a "leap of logic"? Do you even know what that means? You don't need to buy Apple products to function in society, nor do you need Starbucks products, nor do you have to use Amazon. There are small local retailers you can support, as well as fair trade products, second hand goods you can purchase, and a lot more.
Friggin' iPhone lovers get triggered so easily.
