    First, the three strikes:

    https://apnews.com/article/auto-uaw-workers-strike-gm-ford-stellantis-7ce3ca9d94b911250d07556b7af376c7

    The United Auto Workers (UAW) started striking, initially at three factory locations involving some 13,000 workers. The affected sites are: “a GM factory in Wentzville, Missouri, a Ford plant in Wayne, Michigan, near Detroit, and a Jeep plant run by Stellantis [formerly Chrysler] in Toledo, Ohio.”

    Now the unverification:

    https://theintercept.com/2023/09/15/uaw-strike-twitter-verification-elon-musk/

    AFTER MEMBERS OF the United Auto Workers walked off the job at midnight, Twitter stripped the union of its account verification without notice, …

    The X/Twitter thing has been resolved, the UAW’s X/Twitter account already got its verification status back.

    The auto workers’ strike may go on for a while.

      Really shocking. I don't know what to believe anymore.

      Elon Musk is deeply, deeply terrifying. Also scary as all hell. So incredibly feared of his scariness. It's like a ghost saying "boo", except multiplied by like a billion. Even more.

      I cannot describe the fear I feel at Elon Musk.

      Perhaps a better "word smith" could do my terror justice.

      Elon Musk is terrifying.

      Education is extremely important.

        All strawmandering aside, it seems so petty, bordering on pathetic.

        If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

          I see the dog has found a bone. But parody is not an attempt to capture anybody's argument.

            He just came out and said that Taiwan was an integral part of China.

            I don't know if he's terrifying, but he's a cocksucker.

            I was only joking

                  The whole China thing is stomach turning. It really undermines his day-job as a professional troll.

                    Sen. Sherrod Brown from Ohio:

                    “I don’t want to hear whining from these companies that they can’t afford to pay workers what they’re worth."

                    The background:

                    GM CEO Mary Barra’s $29 million pay package is 362 times what her company’s median employee makes. For Ford CEO Jim Farley, the ratio is 281 times. It’s 365:1 for Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares and his average employee.
                    .
                    The yawning pay gaps, a sore point among many rank-and-file workers across corporate America, is becoming one of the United Auto Workers’ most potent political rallying cries as it kicks off an unprecedented strike at the Big Three auto manufacturers. ...
