The law of the jungle works both ways though. Maybe we'll go back to Teamsters removing kneecaps from bosses too.

Yeah the NLRB was in part a way to defang the militant labor movement. Taking it away is not exactly a big brain move.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Me and the crew rolling up to the last Amazon Warehouse in the American Wasteland
119th anniversary of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle
we have learned nothing
I'd prefer not to play nice with the bosses too actually. Bring it on porkie.
Bring it on porkie 
It's called we do a little PROPAGANDA OF THE DEED 
Yes
SpaceX quoted James Madison in The Federalist Papers: “The accumulation of all powers legislative, executive and judiciary in the same hands” is “the very definition of tyranny”
Somehow I don't think we should be accepting commentary on what constitutes tyranny from someone who owned slaves
Also the whole "being dead for 200 years" part. I'm not listening to some dead nerd.
Listening to dead people is fine, treating their word as gospel is not.
This is a good reason to get involved with radical labor organizing right now! We will need all the tools and experience we can get for the increased destruction of union legalism.
Please keep in mind that historical naive class consciousness developed in the US into radical organizing via a decades-long process with a far less developed propaganda machine. It's not inevitable that proletarianization leads directly to this class consciousness again, as our own ability to organize may be effectively hampered by the state and whatever the new Pinkertons are (maybe it'll just be Pinkertons again lol). To avoid a period in which we fuck around and get crushed, we need to get ahead of this as much as possible by being aware of what's coming, how to organize, why we organize, and how we educate.
Good. The major unions have become parasitic tools of the state and finance capital due to the NLRA model. A new regime of labor law would undoubtedly be a sharp blow against American workers, but would also force them to actually exercise their power in ways they haven't in years.
Oh look, there goes one of the only real differences between Trump and Biden
The NLRB is kinda trash for us anyway.
Guns n Rose's etc
Don't threaten me with a good time!
A really good time to see where the security cameras are in your parking lot at work for unspecified reasons
You mean we're not there already?
And anyone who speaks positively of "muh law of the jungle" should just go and unironically return to monke 
if that's what you really, really want.
spoiler
how far off are we, anyway?
