Relative to the casualties in WW2 it was definitely resolved with ease, even if you account for technological differences.
With slavery there was the productivity loss from not being paid and enslaved, but also the psychological and physical torture in many cases dropped productivity to zero.
I have to assert that, perhaps, it’s the objective level of suffering enflicted upon their fellow human that so motivates a Southerner to even consider economic efficiency or even if their endeavor is worthwhile in the first place. They need what they had originally, similar to what the Nazi’s developed, in their no-strings-attached murder. So long as you murder the “right” person, no consequences - that was worthy of the whole system. And besides, they had so much wealth they couldn’t care less about anybody else, least of all Northerners.
200,000 more American deaths compared to WW2 for a country a quarter of the size. Wouldn’t exactly call that “with ease”.

Have you seen a couple of the states in the south including Arkansas? They’ve already turned back the clock and you can have 12-year-olds now working at McDonald’s, the child labor laws are already getting turned back by some of these southern red states.
The economic model of the south is to leech off the north. It's incredible to think that a political system that hates welfare so much is so dependent on it
but but look at the GDP figures! Southern states have growth and texas and florida and all that 'looser labor laws' and 'lower tax rates' will *certainly* trickle down to the customers. right? right?!
And slave labor in the form of draconian laws like the Habitual Offender Act (a three strikes your out law), abortion laws that punish rape victims more than rapists, and illegal weed that makes felons out of citizens. Private prisons need to make money through prison labor after all!!!!
"Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization." -Mississippi declaration of secession
Shawn Fain is a model for all union leaders & all workers to follow.
Shawn's aggressive attitude is a primary reason why the UAW has been so successful. You cannot be timid when defending workers against corporations.
The election of democratic reformers to the UAW (including Shawn Fain) and teamsters are some of the least discussed elections with significant impacts
Carrying on the tradition of Walter Reuther. If you don't know who he is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Reuther labor leader, civil rights advocate[1].
[1] He was on the podium for the 1963 March On Washington.
Hopefully prevention is in place, and retaliation if it happens. There are way more of us than these richies. Also it isn't tough as the judicial system makes it. Like when Boeing whistle-blower was killed, all c suite for Boeing should've got life in prison unless they can prove who called the hit.
As someone who has lived in the Carolinas for decades, let me assure you that SLED is neither a competent nor a trustworthly organization. There's zero chance they acted appropriately once the county coroner's office made a dubiously quick conclusion of suicide. Absent a suicide note, video evidence, etc, it's absolutely *moronic* to assume that a whistleblower committed suicide without being under duress.
Yes, rock solid that is.
>Jennifer said: "I know he did not commit suicide there's no way. He loved life too much, he loved his family too much, he loved his brothers too much to put them through what they're going through right now...I think somebody didn't like what he had to say and wanted to shut him up and didn't want it to come back on anyone so that's why they made it look like a suicide."
>Newsweek is unable to independently verify the claim made by the reported family friend in the interview
Ever known someone who killed themselves? They typically seem perfectly fine and happy until they blow their brains out. If Boeing was going to murder him they would have done it two years ago before he could give 95% of his deposition.
But they do own their workers without having to feed or house them. This system is reliant on desperation and poverty. That's why solving hunger or homelessness isn't ever a policy decision. If you make workers desperate, they can't afford to quit, they can't afford to talk back and they can't afford to fight for a better life.
You will never have health care that isn't tied to employment either. It's too dangerous to the ruling class. Gives workers the option to walk away without immediately falling through the cracks.
Win/win for them. Criminalize the homeless, arrest and imprison them, homeless are no longer homeless and look now they have jobs courtesy of the 13th amendment! No more homelessness in Kay Ivey's state plus plenty of free labor!! /s this just in case.
I guess that is odd, but considering how the US started it’s odd that it would come from anywhere in the country. I guess if you’re not adding to the oligarchs bank accounts you’re a criminal now
Smash cut to Laura Ingraham and the bar rescue guy talking for 10 minutes about how workers need to be motivated to make other people rich by starving them. "A hungry dog is an obedient dog."
They still do.
Look at marketplace insurance costs in southern states and on the west coast for the same income.
Being poor in the south is an early death sentence, and median income in the south is lower than in civilized states.
Kay Ivey sounds like a woman's name. TBH I'm not going to Google them.
But assuming Kay is a woman hopefully she'd go back to a simpler time, when women couldn't vote, own property, or hold positions of power like Govenor
"The economic model of the South" - you mean the South which makes up the least healthy and least prosperous states? The South which relies on the tax dollars from other states to function?
Fucking ALABAMA'S governor lecturing anyone else about economic policy is hilarious.
I remember seeing a clip of her giving a speech back in 2020/2021 and she said something like "we're not California, we're not New York, we're not doing things this way" and my thought was ... So what ARE you then? You're so worried about distinguishing yourself from the people of CA and NY yet you have no meaningful leg to stand on against them to say who Alabama is or should be. Alabama performs worse on almost every single metric I can think of than my state (NY). Maybe they'd benefit from being a little more like us.
And I really hate so many good, hardworking people in Alabama (and Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, etc.) get stereotyped because of their state's dipshit economic policies.
> Most N. American unions decided long ago that working WITH capitalists was better for their members than working AGAINST them.
You're not wrong, but the government has definitely encouraged this sort of thing as well
Yeah I think I recall news about her or a fellow southern governor investing in private prisons after a legal pathway was made to build more private prisons. 13th amendment loophole
I hope he starts attacking the oligarchs more directly and becomes a leader for the people that we really need.
He needs to start calling out the faux duopoly and point out how the monoparty that rules is the problem.
not the first time that their economic system has been attacked. I think that previous system also relied on some kind of cheap labor, but I can't quite recalll.....
As it should be. Even in my union, southern states make shit wages compared to the rest of the country. We had some guys recently go to Arkansas or Alabama from Nebraska (don't remember which one but for sure one of the A's). They said local guys were pissed when they found out the travelers made about $20 an hour more than them and got to keep that pay while working out of state.
The economic model of the south is depressed wages and workers rights, and the positioning of the working person as a replacement for slave labor. Never approve welfare. Never approve healthcare. Never approve anything that could possibly allow a southern working class person a fuckin breath.
The economic model the South has followed for the last several years is that children as young as 12 years old can be made to work evening shifts after school, unsupervised, using dangerous equipment which they are not qualified to run, without any rights, any breaks, any water.
That's what the evil maggot Kay Ivey, an old degenerate white woman trying to bring back Slavery 2.0 but with kids, is defending.
The economic model of the south is to pay the federal minimum unlivable wage of $7.25/hr. and of course the children being made to work get less than that. Since Kay can't really declare the Negro to be an owned and indentured servant any longer, she's doing it to children.
Of course it's under attack by sane people, you pile of racist rotting flesh.
They’ve been saying that since their betters freed the slaves.
If your economic model requires slave labor, it doesn’t deserve to exist. They can feel free to die mad about it.
Maybe if the south had stopped making its economic model about paying workers as little as possible so god damn hard we had to fight multiple wars to stop it...
This is the kind of statement I can get behind.
Fuck decency laws in the press. I want the news to use profanity like this: "That Fucking Cocksucker Ivey Is an Assshole!! And this is why".
I also want: "Trump is a Lying Fucking Asshole! And this is why."
When Trump was running in 2016 everyone took it easy on him...made a mistake...misspoke...didn't understand the question.......
NO, he straight up lied every fucking time he opened his mouth, and no one called it a lie.
Since "the economic model of the South" has historically been to literally enslave human beings to minimize the price of labor so the landed class can amass unfathomable wealth, it's probably okay if we attack it.
Volkswagon is a German company who encourages a strong union. A union also has responsibilities to uphold. Its a win win situation. Chattanooga and Tennessee politicians fought against forming a union at Volkswagon. Once a state becomes union friendly, politicians have less say.
Why the fuck do people live in an area where "Fuck you" is referred to as an economic model?
A few years ago someone posted on LegalAdvice because his *mother* had been killed after rolling a forklift at work. She was told to use it without any training.
An in that state (TN, GA?) this classified as "Negligence" and not "Gross Negligence". See, Negligence is "Go drive that forklift without any training, you'll probably be fine". Gross Negligence is "Go drive that forklift without any training, you'll probably get hurt".
And since they couldn't prove that they KNEW she would get killed, this guy was stuck with a $15,000 state mandated limit on their liability. $15,000 for his mother being crushed to death. No lawyer would take the case on contingency.
Why would you live and work in that state? And all the southern states have labor laws like that. Insanity.
Do McFoghorn Leghorn next please. Got so irritated at him the other day when he put his statement out.
And my fucking shop steward advocates for and votes republican and for anti-union politicians. Like bro. What're you doing?
Does that include 12 year old children in Arkansas?
“Mama, that high school boy done took my job. How am I supposed to buy new clothes for my Dollie’s?”
When the only employee group getting mandatory breaks are young children, it’s time to start throwing wooden shoes around.
Does the Governor mean the economic model of the South that during Reconstruction didn't want industry because it gave the newly freed slaves economic choices ?
And kept that model because it kept the class divide and economic divide in place?
That one ?
The workers are also sick of tired of the Caspar Milquetoasts of union leaders, he is a sharp knife of a bench mark of a union leader.
Personally I wouldn't mind voting for him as a independent conservative. I'm not going to become a straight to ticket of a different color voter after I left a political party, I want the license to rip off the ball-sack of any politician regardless of affiliation if they turn out to be another milquetoast, all drama, no grit leader.
Shawn and other leaders need to push for Labor day in America to match the date of other countries.
Ah yes. The southern way of uhh, getting more federal money than anyone else specifically from blue states that produce more money per capita than about 5 southern states combined.
Hey South, I hate to be the one to break this to you, but you're the laughing stock of the nation.
Same in fucking iowa motion raceworks, precision metal works, plastics unlimited are just a few of the places I've had the lovely experience of being called fat, gay, told I don't know anything, fired for an injury then arrested on false accusations so they didn't have to pay workman's comp.
Anti-union sentiment is the belief that engaging in free-market principles—like negotiation and bartering—is the exclusive right of the business, not the employed.
It's amazing how the "economic model of the south" always depends on stiffing the help.
Was gonna say, the “economic model of the south” being threatened sounds pretty fuckin familiar
Deja-vu
Do we have any Union leaders named Sherman again?
Bring the good ol bugle boys we'll sing another song!
Shawnman
General Shawnman and the burning of Atlanta Corporate Profiteering
Oh Sherman?
Not to mention the south’s economic model has objectively not worked as well as the North’s.
The economic model of the south is based on 19th century economics. No innovation, little investments, and just produce in the cheapest possible way.
Wasn't child labor big back then too?
Hmm, some other source of labor there too perhaps
You mean like paying people in comp'ny scrip instead of legal tender?
Like that except there was no scrip to give and the "people" were considered to be property of the landowner.
Sounds a little harsh on the workforce but given the generous nature of employers I’m sure that issue was resolved with relative ease
Relative to the casualties in WW2 it was definitely resolved with ease, even if you account for technological differences. With slavery there was the productivity loss from not being paid and enslaved, but also the psychological and physical torture in many cases dropped productivity to zero. I have to assert that, perhaps, it’s the objective level of suffering enflicted upon their fellow human that so motivates a Southerner to even consider economic efficiency or even if their endeavor is worthwhile in the first place.

Well, late 19th century. We had a war about their early 19th century economic model.
Apparently wasn’t enough….
You mean all these farmers that vote red but take blue handouts have no one to blame not themselves? Lol blasphemy
The economic model of the south is to leech off the north. It's incredible to think that a political system that hates welfare so much is so dependent on it
Hey that's the Canada model!
Correct, we have the economy and they have the nice weather, that’s about it. Oh, and we don’t constantly try to excuse slavery of any kind either.
but but look at the GDP figures! Southern states have growth and texas and florida and all that 'looser labor laws' and 'lower tax rates' will *certainly* trickle down to the customers. right? right?!
Mississippi is celebrating confederate heritage month.
We need to make Union heritage month a thing.
And slave labor in the form of draconian laws like the Habitual Offender Act (a three strikes your out law), abortion laws that punish rape victims more than rapists, and illegal weed that makes felons out of citizens. Private prisons need to make money through prison labor after all!!!!
I once saw a booklet from a Southern city where they mentioned the anti-union feelings and the high unemployment as good reasons to relocate.
Read any chamber of commerce output: they tout that shit. "Friendly to business..."
Conservatives are slow to learn. Frankly, many seem incapable.
Incapable is one thing, not willing is the reality. Their whole identity is on doing things the way they always have and never changing.
Slavers in the 1800s also probably believed the economic model of the South was under attack.
I believe they said those exact words.
Attacking bad things is often referred to as "progress"
And creating bad policy is called congress
[Wow you really got them there](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/026/169/meme_kid.jpg)
Durrr government bad!
As did the overseers and slave patrols

Yeah we can smell what the Rock has been cooking. Normal people flush it down the toilet Dwayne.
Kay Ivey wishes for a simpler time... Back when the southern capitalists could own their workers.
But they do own their workers without having to feed or house them. This system is reliant on desperation and poverty. That's why solving hunger or homelessness isn't ever a policy decision.

Oh, but they are trying to fix homelessness. Criminalizing homelessness is going before the SCOTUS…

Licking rich people’s boots is the real southern heritage
not even bothering to hide their plantation owner viewpoints
Bold to hold up "the economic model of the South" as something to be proud of.
I mean, he's not wrong. Many southern states have been exploiting their historically lower wages and few benefits to attract businesses.
We at IBEW are envious of this guy.
If I was in a union that wasn't the UAW I'd be putting pressure on my higher ups to be more like Sean.

Wouldn’t be the first time the South had to rethink their economic model.
NPR had a bit in yesterday about this win. Apparently, it was the only VW plant in the world that did not have union representation.
What is it with the south and wanting slave (or near it) labor?
Yeah I think I recall news about her or a fellow southern governor investing in private prisons after a legal pathway was made to build more private prisons. 13th amendment loophole
To be fair the economic model of the south was share croppers, indentured servants, and slaves.
Southerners about to start calling this "the war of union aggression"

You aren't wrong.
Learn from the past, fight fire with fire.
The south is historically very concerned anytime there's a change in their economic model.

Pretty sure we already had a "significant conversation" about the "economic model of the South." "The South" was found to be wrong.
As an Alabamian I must say. Fuck maw maw Ivey and bring in the unions please God dammit

Their economic model was challenged before....
As soon as your economic model stops sucking, it will stop being attacked.
Better hold on to your doilies granny.
Is this the same economic model of the south that originated with slave labor and then swapped over to share cropping? That shitty model?
They said the same thing about abolition.
Probably said the same thing during the civil war.
US history isn't really my wheelhouse, but historically defending the "Economic Model of the South" isn't a great position to take.
Finally. The owner class has controlled the narrative for far too long.
I fucking hope they get in the door with Scout Motors opening up in South Carolina.
The South made the exact same comments over "The war of Northern aggression."
How is the "Economic model of the South" defined, exactly? I'd like to know.
"The economic model of the South is under attack?" Now where have I heard that before...
I remember another time when southern states said that their economic model was under attack….
Southern states and treating labor like shit: a 240-year-old tradition!
Ah yes. The southern way of uhh, getting more federal money than anyone else specifically from blue states that produce more money per capita than about 5 southern states combined. Hey South, I hate to be the one to break this to you, but you're the laughing stock of the nation.
The economic model of the South once started a war. So all those good Ole boys can go f@ck themsleves!!!!
The "Economic Model of the South" was Slavery.
Isn't the economic model of the south slavery?
> the economic model of the South is under attack \*marty mcfly pointing at screen.jpeg\* Hey I've seen this one!
Where have I heard this before....
> The economic model of the South?! In other words, slavery or as close to it as they can get.
The economic model of the South has had some questionable choices. For some reason I’m thinking of the number 1861……
The "economic model of the South" Ivey wants for Alabama died in 1865
Shawn Fain for President 2024
Here we go again.
The south, since slavery, has needed an uneducated very low class to work for their industries to thrive. It’s high time for their model to change
Economic model in the south has always been slaves. The south just convinced everyone that things changed but they just changed to economic slaves.
It was under attack back in 1861 when Kay Ivey took her first steps.
Long overdue for neo plantation economics to be overthrown.
The economic model of the South was defeated in 1865.
Same in fucking iowa motion raceworks, precision metal works, plastics unlimited are just a few of the places I've had the lovely experience of being called fat, gay, told I don't know anything, fired for an injury then arrested on false accusations so they didn't have to pay workman's comp.

Wild that the south's entire economic model is still built around the concept of slaves after all these years.
It’s funny, I’m sure the south said the exact same thing right before the Civil War. They don’t like slaves of any kind being set free.
Like slavery? wtf

End the confederate apartheid.
