Watched American Factory, would definitely recommend it. I cannot believe some of the poo poo people were willing to say on camera. The most primo capitalism moment was when they fire the entire US management team, who had been anti union, and replace them with Chinese managers. Some real crab bucket poo poo.

I loved the American manager telling the Chinese how the American work ethic sucks. Some real pearls there.

Followed up by him trying to implement the pseudo military style stuff with his team in the American plant while the team members all give him side eye looks that say "This is dumb as poo poo." Then he gives the lamest half assed attempt at a morning brief.

I just stopped watching it, I thought it was really depressing seeing people being sold out like that. Especially the workers who just want a job but all the wages are cut and all the other horrible stuff happening.

Oh agreed, super depressing. I pretty much spent my entire viewing angry, especially because while I wasn't familiar with this particular case I knew exactly how it would go from the start. I especially wanted to reach through my screen and smack the "labour consultant" the factory brought in to tell lies about unionization.
