We're cucks for good PR!

That's a little less than 10% for you math people out there

Covid to be solved in Florida due to the tropical storm

I wouldn't have as much a problem with "defending Europe" and being their allies if the bases weren't supporting and launching pads for endless war in the middle east and africa. That and we spend hundreds of billions on overseas bases while people are cast to the wolves here at home.

Wow

Bring them all home

I'm sure @osxmatt can help you find Dinesh's greatest hits, they're buddies

He's really running for dumbest congressperson and it's stiff competition

He died with alcoholism, not because of it.

The most polarizing man on the planet coming out against fair housing: probably a good thing

Good thing Biden is polling 50+% then and that's before anyone undecided on trump (who can go pound sand because it won't really matter) make a choice

He did not go to the gym, hoyer clarified later he was talking about Rand Paul who did go to the gym

I'm really curious how this process works.

https://www.thedrive.com/news/26727/tesla-had-3-times-as-many-osha-violations-as-the-10-largest-us-plants-combined Unions change the culture of the companies they work for, for better safety, regardless of the laws on the books. https://www.technologyreview.com/2018/04/16/143870/tesla-says-its-factory-is-saferbut-it-left-injuries-off-the-books/ To act like the laws and regulations on the books is the end all be all for workers is fucking stupid, and shows a real commitment to hackery and a denial of reality. And I have friends who are safety managers who say that OHSHA enforcement under Trump is...well...lacking. and this matches reporting on the subject As for relating this back to the thread at hand: who do you think disproportionately works in unsafe places for substandard wages without unions?

Spoken like someone who had never paid attention to union negotiations with local government. Unions are well aware of the financial and political situations of their employers! When times are tough, the union can negotiate higher healthcare costs, increased pension contributions, etc by their members instead of job cuts. I've seen it happen! That's what a union can get you.

Wrong.

They're not a bad acting union, they're a good, functional union (in that they forcefully and unapologetically fight for their members) where they differ is that they have the power of the state (and capital) behind them. Their actions do not align with the goals of teachers, nurses, mine workers, etc. That's why they don't belong in the American federation of labor. That said, they still deserve a union, as do all workers. They may not have solidarity with others, but an effort to weaken unions anywhere threatens workers everywhere. That doesn't mean you belong in the big club though!

It's the difference between working with management and capital, and working for them.
