Just making a case study in realtime of the socialist critique of capitalism, the need and superiority of a worker owned & operated model excluding the very chuckle-fucks that obviously made the bad decisions prioritizing quarterly profits over plane quality (or anything else for that matter).

Scene from "Jesus Camp" where they bust out the cardboard cut-out of George W. Bush and do the very uncomfortably close to the Nazi salute "laying on hands" thing (stretching out one arm towards thing/person) some Christians do, and praying.
Y'all remember this (it's from Bush era documentary on Chrisitian nationalist sentiment, I don't recall if they were using that specific name, but it's the same shit--"Jesus Camp")?

That's all well and good, but it's not actually a solution to the problem. AT BEST it's a stopgap, which depends upon you being able to actually a find an employer willing to hire you that isn't as shitty or shittier than the current one and also, and make that transition without interrupting
