I agree. I dont think there are many people out there that romanticize the word or concept of a plantation. Hell, Providence, RI is technically called the Providence Plantations, but no one talks about it because of the obvious negative connotations of the word.

I agree with the other changes mentioned in the article, but I think the word plantation is already culturally derided enough that it is probably worse in the common imaginary than “labor camp”.

Plus, plantation is just a historically accurate word. They called them plantations at the time, historical documentation refers to properties like that as plantations, so we talk about them as plantations. Plantations are pretty much solely an artifact of slavery at this point. You wouldnt say, “Im going to my uncle’s plantation this weekend” any more than you would say “Im going to my uncle’s labor camp”

Yeah but by and large you have everyone taking the same position as SAG-AFTRA in this article is: “We know this is a bad idea, but we will wait and see if it benefits us in some way before we complain about it”. That idiotic opinion is how a large portion of people see these economic policies

Its like adopting a “lets wait and see what happens” policy about touching a hot stove. Not every idea, especially ones with obvious bad outcomes, is worth giving a run-through

Ya been meatballed!

Tbf thats leagues beyond my wildest expectations for pretty much all American politicians at this point

I mean at least this is one of the situations where at its base a tariff makes sense in an industry protectionist way. Its not like putting insane tariffs on goods we dont even manufacture here whatsoever, which is just stupid.

That said, a 100% tariff is just mind bogglingly stupid dick-swinging in this already hostile trade environment. It would make more sense if it was like 5%. Not something that will make the world boycott our media

America was built on treating the worker badly. Most of the first people that came here were either slaves or indentured servants. Chinese people got exploited to build the railroads, and then banned from being citizens in the country. Now we have prison slavery and wage servitude. There are a million and one examples, but exploiting the worker is as American as apple pie.

The only thing that has ever really improved in American labor is actual safety standards for work environments, equipment, etc. We do a great job of prioritizing that. But actual workers are viewed as expendable, and many of the largest employers are just meat grinders even if they offer half-decent benefits. Walmart is a good example of that

Facebook actively contributed to the genocide in Myanmar, and did basically nothing about it because they didnt want to hire more moderators that spoke the language, so that they could adequately remove pro-genocidal content

If my hundreds of hours of Cities Skylines have taught me anything, this move is guaranteed to send endless tsunami shockwaves back at India
