I remember when the Navajos took over the Fairchild Semiconductor Plant in Shiprock, NM back in the late ‘70s. IIRC, Fairchild was looking for a way out of the operation as the plant wasn’t making money.
Hey, I wanted to thank Seattle for electing a genuwine Commie! Quite refreshing actually to see a honest-to-god Commie who isn’t afraid to say what they really mean. None of this “progressivism” this and “redistribution” that, but just good ol’ fashioned “kill the evil capitalists and take their stuff”.
Yep, let’s just steal that factory and “convert” it into making VCRs and lectric buses and rainbow generators and Unicorn horseshoes and other useful stuff not used for war, you know, like all factories are completely interchangeable.
Good lord. What a fool and a moron. She’s gonna be providing us with a LOT of entertainment for the next four years!
So thanks again Seattle for lightening things up a bit in the political world! (Oh. Word of advice. Don’t elect a MAORITY of those like her to city council or you’re gonna be REALLY sorry!)
“Kshama Sawant told Boeing machinists . . . ‘The workers should take over the factories, and shut down Boeing’s profit-making machine’.”
Here’s another idea, Kshama, you commie pig: build your own factory, and make your own people movers to transport the proletariat, and try to keep your factory open as the union thugs demand more wages every year. You’ll either turn into a capitalist or the thugs will string you up from the factory ceiling.
Why not call for the outright bombing of the plant... This is terrorism.
and we welcome ‘them’ with open arms..
what a sad way to suck up to your cohorts in crime.
She has no power of course, unless the other city council leftists go along with the insanity
The government owned a lot of GM stock and appointed the new CEO itself. That is close enough to a government take over for me
Wait, these unions thugs rejected a eight year contract guaranteeing their jobs...
Let them rot in hell...
having contracts from the government makes them MORE likely to succumb to government/leftist pressure
Kind of hard to compete with the Chinese on something like that
Every where you drove all you seen was signs that said" Keep It Made In Erie".
Several years ago when the Tool and Die trade fell on hard times in this area some people I knew went to GE and got jobs, I would hear them say that they loved working there because of all the Union benefits like breaks every two hours and if you were working to fast the other employees would tell you to slow down.
In fact just a few days ago a GE worker committed suicide at the plant because he lost his job after 30 years.
If it were not for the Union thugs and a few concessions they would most likely still have a job but nooooooo!
Greedy bassturds!
“A great idea though - to go from making planes to metro buses.”
She probably thinks Boeing makes the AirBus which could be de-winged and turned into a road bus.
Her first act is to advocate criminal behavior. On that basis, she should be removed from office.
Yes they will. How'd it work out for the Hostess Cupcake crowd?
Re-tool highly complex design-specific purpose-built machines to make buses, is not possible.
Not only their jobs; but, I do believe (if I was hearing the news reports correctly) that there were also going to be additional jobs created.
“I live about 3 hours to the west of Seattle....”
You must be off the coast.
What she is suggesting has been done before. It's known as the Flint Sit-Down Strike.
