Word to the media: don’t bother us with this shit until they have a working idea on how to monitor and regulate the shit so we can all have flying cars and not just one dude’s stupid prototype. The hard thing isn’t making a car that can fly. That shit is relatively easy. The hard part is figuring out how air traffic would work if everyone was up there. It’s already a PITA and there aren’t a helluva lot of planes compared to cars.

If they’re all automated and coordinating, NASA has put a lot of effort into researching how to coordinate a swarm of airborne agents with diverse goals.. I’d imagine that these prototypes have gotten further development and a reality-collision as drone systems have been deployed and evolving in the Ukrainian theatre. The tech for this might actually finally be ready.

Although considering the current balance of power, something promising this might actually end up being:

All the unions involved in the Cloudsdale general strike were outlawed and new state-sanctioned ones were set up.

Kinda my point, right?

Make the government represent the people in bargaining contracts.

Local governments.

They then manage the labor market to make it easy for people to get jobs.

Make labor representatives funded by taxes an elected position to bargain for you against an employer.

Like a public defender.

In a court, if necessary.

Where our constitutional rights apply.

To bring this more in-line with OP’s question:

What if we had a general union that represented all workers generally and could provide support for things like general strikes?

Maybe make it a parent body made up of unionized/federated unions specific to each trade/discipline.

Something like the IWW or the AFL-CIO, but that represents all people by default. I’d argue that such a body could/should replace most of what the government does, and then membership is just citizenship. This could guarantee several worker’s rights within the union and enshrine democratic principles/practices.

They’ve moved to chapo.chat.

Here’s their statement.
