The rich are only rich because the money they possess can be exchanged directly or indirectly for people's labour. Without it, the money is valueless and the rich cease to be. It's also one reason why labour strikes are so effective and the rich have had to create militias to prevent them.

Troubles in the region began a month ago, when the local banana workers union joined a nationwide protest against proposed pension cuts and declared a strike.

In Bocas del Toro, the unrest has been largely led by workers at a Chiquita Brands banana plantation.

Banana workers get pensions these days? Wow Chiquita has really let itself go hasn't it.

Plot twist: board replaces the whole exec layer with CEO AI, keeps the difference, gives nothing to the employees, line goes up, employees now threatened both at the top and the bottom of the ladder, work-work!

Yes, and the workers risk nothing, or something like that, I'm told. 😂

Start company.

Run it into the ground.

Go bankrupt.

Buy it back.
