Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak for me."

Nobody is "coming" for anyone here.
I'm happy to see Hollywood fail because I don't like Hollywood.
I'm happy to see these strikes from women fail because they're demanding an end to the wage gap (aka, they want to work less and get paid the same) and yet even more draconian "safety" laws.
I wish the auto workers the best, but their cars suck and they should all be out of business.

Imagine being so colossally stupid that you think researchers don’t account for ‘hours worked’ when they investigate stuff like the wage gap…

When they do, along with other controls, the wage gap largely disappears.

Oh, so because of the decisions of a small group of investors, all the workers who work on the factories just to survive are to blame and should be unemployed? And women that want to have EQUAL rights (go look up the definition of the word, if you can't figure out it's meaning) should fail because of your false opinion.
God, I've seen a lot of pathetic people, but you fit in one of the lowest levels I've seen.

Ideally they'd find jobs at companies that don't make shit cars when people in mass stop buying the American ones.
Like I said. They want to work less and be paid the same. They don't want equal rights, they want special privileges.
Happy to be pathetic in your eyes. The alternative is be a thoughtless pushover.

You clearly do not, in fact, understand what the word "equal" means. They want more pay because they're paid less. But I know me explaining to you won't end your self-centered attitude and misogyny.
