NYT warns the 'workers' that Trump really doesn't have their best interests at heart
2017-09-05
[American Thinker] There is something actually touching about the profound detachment of the New York Times from blue-collar America, once you get past the condescension and perceive the underlying naiveté of the know-it-alls. Steven Greenhouse, the longtime labor correspondent, uses the Labor Day weekend Sunday Times to ask, "Is Trump Really Pro-Worker?"

I love it when progressive intellectuals throw around the word "worker," as if it were 1917, not 2017. It reeks of nostalgia for a lost vision.

The arguments he marshals are what you'd expect Times readers to value. The graphic deployed by the Times actually depicts Trump as factory effluent, from a circa 1917-looking factory:

#1  Unfortunately recently the top brass of major corporations have taken on the role of social justice warrior. And they target employees with propaganda such as the letter the Chase CEO sent to all of his employees about why he left a Trump committee. This letter was nothing more than a propaganda letter support certain politics that in the back of every employees mind, "he signs my paychecks".

Years ago at a major corp an executive walked up to two employees discussing politics and stated that there are two topics forbidden for discussion on the company's facilities, religion and politics. That was wisdom.

This is idiocy at the highest level and these people have shot themselves in the foot.
