We are complicit in our employer’s deeds

If BIGCORP is acting outside of labor laws, then there should be legal action.

If the law doesn't explicitly outlaw BIGCORP's actions (yet), and we all kinda know that it should, then opposing BIGCORP is the correct thing to do.

If Amazon is acting legally, yet in an ugly way, to suppress workers organizing, it seems hard to complain.

Now, if Amazon workers exercise the right of free association in their spare time to stick it to JeffB, well, it sounds like he's got a problem.

BIGCORP writes the labor laws.

Similar to how the FAA regulates the airline industry and let Boeing murder two plane loads of people?

Well, if our political system is worth much, then it behooves us to elect some people who can, you know, write laws.

Past the flippancy, this is a huge undertaking.

Half the political battle is showing up; the other half is staying engaged.

Taking your bait: sure. The government is bad. Not too sure where that leaves us, though.

Reduce and eliminate the government as much as possible. Does the US Federal government need to exist in any form? Somehow the UK is able to exist as an independent state.

Let's be generous and say the UK = CA.

Or are you suggesting a more parliamentary governance, where the Speaker of the House is the head of state?

I'm suggesting that, if the primary problem is government, we should reduce it. Are the things negatively impacting domestic labor national or state level policies? Do we even need a federal government to exist? The UK (and many other smaller countries) are able to exist as independent states, so why not the US states?
