I'm guessing you're aware that you still haven't answered my straight forward question! Would you like to address the issue?

In the case of the much-maligned Musk,, this would be easy. Stop buying his cars. If Tesla were driven out of business, he wouldn't be able to make money by selling cars, he wouldn't be able to make money by investing in and developing green vehicles, and he wouldn't be able to make money by employing 125,000 people. We could either buy Chinese (though the slave labour element of their factories might be a downer) or go back to petrol cars; the employees could go on the dole.

Yes because there are only 2 solutions in every situation, both bad.

Most of Musk's wealth is in Tesla. To impoverish Musk (or rather, to bring his wealth down to £10m) then Tesla must be made all but worthless. (Or brought into public ownership, which almost amounts to the same thing.)

Don't get the idea that the unions were all on the side of the working man. For example, in Colne in the mid-seventies, a 40 year old cotton worker with two children was sacked because the union insisted. His crime was that for 2 weeks when he was 16 he worked in a non-union factory. The unions might have been supportive of their own members but they stamped on the face of the people they saw as enemies.

Union leaders and members at Ford factories in Argentina in the 1970s were disappeared and tortured. Pinkerton were hired to infiltrate and disrupt organized labour movements across the United States.

Unions have always had to be very careful about who’s around them, there are a lot of vested interests who want to see them fail.

Have you any details of the Colne case? I’m always interested in these things.
