    Toyota executives was greedy and didn’t continue paying their workers fairly and now they are unionizing. They fucked around. Here comes the finding out.

      It’s so weird to see this. Where I live, unions are a default. It should become the norm everywhere, not just in northern Europe.

        In which country of Western, Central or Southern Europe are unions not a default? Don’t know about Eastern Europe.

    While everyone should be able to afford basic necessities like a vehicle and wages need to be increased across the board, the title is weird. You can work at a factory making a thing you can’t afford and not have much of a problem with that. “I build cruise liners for a living. I can’t afford to buy one.” would be a strange statement.

      Is this video about something only large corporations can afford, or is it about something that is necessary for lots of families to have and seen as normal to buy?

          How does that make your bad argument better?

          You say people should be able to afford necessities. Then you compare buying a car to buying a cruise ship. One is a necessity to many people, one is completely unrelated to people.

          Yes the argument makes no sense when you change the subject completely.

            A car is a necessity, nobody is denying that and I state as much. To be clear, I think people should be able to afford cars. I just don’t think it’s weird to work at a factory where you make luxury items more expensive than the average person can afford.

              A car shouldn’t be a necessity. public transport, short transfers, walkable cities and all that. But I agree – it is a necessity, sadly.
