The decision requires that if a majority of workers ask a company for voluntary recognition of their union, the company must either immediately recognize them or promptly file a petition asking the Board to hold a union election.

Could someone smarter than me tell me how this could happen in a very large company like Starbucks or Amazon?

  • Topic of this thread: USA introducing draconian anti-privacy laws
  • Some other person1: Muh China
  • You: China bad
  • Some other person2: Other governments are bad too
  • You: Whataboutism!

like first of all whataboutism is bullshit, second if you cared at all about "whataboutism" you'd realize that it had already happened and you were participating in it because this fucking thread is about the USA.

Honestly the thing that kills me most about people calling stuff whataboutism is it's usually just someone contrasting the same or a similar situation in two countries (like you just did with China), which is absolutely not whataboutism. I hate even talking about this shit because it's so goddamn stupid and juvenile. I wish that word could be erased.

Yeah I'm actually amazed people are still using this term. Figures it's about computers though lol, of course the antisocial nerds are stronger holdouts than car enthusiasts.
