Reply #37: The presence of an armed guard [View All]

is a sizeable deterrent. It's not a perfect solution but it beats asking people to risk their lives for another quarter percent of corporate profit.

"Well golly what's the multi billion dollar corporation supposed to do other than feed their employees to the wolves." is just not an acceptable set of priorities for anyone who considers themselves a progressive.

Where is the pharmicist union? The only solution offered by progressives in this thread so far is the consumer option: "I'm taking my business elsewhere." Walgreens doesn't give a shit about that. They already know how much business they'll lose because of that policy and if they think it'll cost them a little more they'll just fuck their own employees for the difference.

The guy did some seriously heroic shit and got screwed for his trouble and the most we can offer is a "consumer solution" or excoriate him because he stood up and fought injustice. And people wonder why the Democratic party is so ineffectual. It's because Democrats are more willing to get fucked over and see others die than fight for what they believe. Which explains the existence if the Tea Party.
