UAW Strike Recap with JT from Second Thought

from Cars and Comrades

We're joined by JT Chapman from the First Thought and Second Thought YouTube channels, and The Deprogram podcast, to recap the recent UAW strike, how the working class won big, and how this might lead to a general strike. Plus: Elon is up to his usual union-busting antics, but this time he's up against nearly every union in Sweden. And the Cybertruck roll out hasn't gone as smoothly as he would've liked. But first: JT's hotrod Volvo project.
