actor john cusack on unions & strikes: "The oligarchs want more - they want it all -"







john cusack:

It’s all the same thing -
Writers actors Amazon workers Starbucks workers ,nurses ,airline workers - ( add list for another ten pages )
Everyone who’s striking - they want living wages - the system is so unbelievably insanely corrupt -
Jamie Dimon can get 12 billion cash - 100 % cents on the dollars for the money he lost in his derivatives scam - he gets an absolute bailout - for his criminal banking disasters -
So - one set of rules for elites - and another for workers - meaning normal people get the shaft -
People who get sick or want an education - are fucked - the money lenders want you in debtors jail or bankrupt - you lend someone money and they rig it so you can never pay off the loan
3 4 5 6 10 times the principal - that’s USURY. Yet routinely
They “ forgive“ billions to oligarchs - free money whenever they say so . And if people and workers just say stop the usury pay a living wage - healthcare is a human right - the same overlords and their hired bullshit - SAY
WHAT ?? WHY THATS SOCIALISM ! Or spew out various other nonsensical bullshit -
So socialism for the .oooo1 %
Savage predatory capitalism for everyone else .
That’s why we have to strike in solidarity with every worker - we need absolute solidarity on race gender issues
So we can address CLASS. The oligarchs want more - they want it all -

Our greatest power is our collective voice! -


the retweet from warren gunnels
(Majority Staff Director for Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee Chairman
@SenSanders
Blatantly Pro-Union
AKA: Chief of Receipts):

While 95% of SAG-AFTRA members earn less than $25,000 a year, last year the CEOs of Apple, Netflix, Amazon, Disney, Paramount & Comcast were paid over $280 million, their companies made over $115 billion in profits & they spent over $104 billion on stock buybacks. That's gross.

When asked how much would be enough, his answer was "I want it all." When they tell you who they are, believe them.

Now he has his share, six feet long and six feet deep. Ya can't take it with you, but guys like old Charlie would if they could. Buried with them just like the pharohs.
