It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Hot take, and it's kinda tangential to what's going on for Ford right now, but:
If white collar middle management types spent a portion of their time working in at the pointy end of labour, their decisions about and their connection to blue collar workers would improve the way that a company works.
The amount times I've been working as a grunt in an organisation and mid-level or top-end management has decided to implement the most radically counterproductive or even downright destructive changes to the way that low-level workers have to go about their jobs, often to massive backlash, loss of profits and productivity etc., increased workload, workplace injuries etc... it's like it's a constant feature.
Obviously this isn't a lesson for capitalism so much as it's a necessary lesson that we need to learn for an effective circa- and post-revolutionary society.
(There's a whole thread in this line of thought somewhere about why vanguardism is so important, as is the mass line, but I'll probably end up writing some huge diatribe if I start on that path.)
