Striketober: America's workers are rising up

https://conversationalist.org/2021/10/28/striketober-americas-workers-are-rising-up/

For months, the media has been reporting on a “labor shortage” that has purportedly left employers unable to fill jobs. Fast food restaurants have posted signs that read: “We are short-staffed. Please be patient with the staff that did show up. No one wants to work anymore.” Small business owners and corporate CEOs alike have gone on cable news to complain about the hundreds of thousands of people who prefer to live on government assistance rather than find a job. But the truth, said Kallas, is that there’s no shortage of labor. Rather, employers can’t find people to work for the wages they’re offering.

Saturation coverage of the labor shortage has come at the expense of amplifying the human cost of the government’s having cut unemployment benefits for 7.5 million workers on Labor Day, while an additional three million lost their weekly $300 pandemic unemployment assistance. Time magazine called it the “largest cutoff of unemployment benefits in history.” Just two weeks earlier, a flurry of newly published studies showed that states that chose to withdraw earlier from federal benefits did not succeed in pushing people back to work. Instead, they hurt their own economies as households cut their spending to compensate for the lost benefits.

Since Biden was elected, the media talks about how all of the special elections are bellwether for

the midterms. So far each time the democratic candidate has won, they move on to the next special election, dragging out those same tired talking points. Only for the election results to prove them wrong time and time again.

It's time for a general strike.

These corporate assholes and their flying monkeys in Congress need to understand we are done being their pawns.
We can’t have dental or vision insurance when we get old because rich people will have to pay taxes. Do they even hear themselves? I really need to get off this ride now. I’m in another universe.

Democrats want to repair and strengthen the villages across America for all Americans.

From Joe 6 pak to the poor souls without a roof over their heads.
70% of the country agrees that it’s high time the wealthy and corporations pay taxes. They benefit from the broken down infrastructure, they must contribute to its rebuilding. We can’t sacrifice the workers or poor people in this country to save a tax cut for some rich asshole.

If we allow republicans to decide who gets to count the votes. Democracy will die.

A process in government cannot be allowed to destroy itself. We need to demand that our reps do what republicans would have done long ago. President Biden knows this. That’s why he’s willing to change it.

House republicans just voted to delegitimize the House Of Representatives.

They do not view the branch as a separate but equal piece of government. That being said, they cannot possibly uphold their oath to the constitution. How many times will they vote against our founding document before it’s a universal understanding that republicans are not capable or interested in governing?

Mary Trump's lawyer says dump is about to go through some things.

I am paraphrasing, of course.
The depositions have begun and from the sound of it Trump did what trump always does. I hope dump finally finds out what happens when you fuck around. Let’s see what happens next.
