Starting Friday, dockworkers in all Swedish ports will refuse to offload Teslas, cleaning crews will no longer clean showrooms, and mechanics won’t fix charging points as the labor dispute rages on.

There are three battles wise men know not to fight:

  • A land war in Asia
  • The Finns in winter
  • Swedish Unions

Teslas in Sweden are probably going to have a lot of flat tires in the near future.

Just the ones in the warehouses. Unions don’t get mad at the public. They get mad at shitty, oppressive, conservative employers.

conservative employers.

Depending on location and time, conservative might mean literal communists.

I find it fascinating that they have no legislation about workers rights. I am curious if any Swedes could inform me how the “conservative” style movements are doing in Sweden.

This is what happens when capitalism tries to fight with democracy. If government fucks over citizens, then citizens ignore government, but if government represents and helps citizens, citizens will do “Tesla, fuck you!”.

EDIT: or when unions work.

How exactly did Linux get fucked by capitalism?

This image is of Linus torvalds giving nvidia the middle finger because they are absolutely terrible to work with, money aside.
