If not now when?

“I ask the political economist and moralists if they have ever calculated the number of individuals who must be condemned to misery, overwork, demoralization, degradation, rank ignorance, overwhelming misfortune and utter penury in order to produce one rich man” Almeida Garrett. 1799-1854

Productivity standards inherently punish/discriminate against and disadvantage anyone with a disability or period.

If everything is down to the minute, this only seeks to punish the disabled and those who menstruate. It’s discriminatory.

It’s time for the 32 hour work week!

Anything over 32 needs to be recognized as overtime. The current 2 days off 5 days on is NOT sustainable for modern life. We will have a healthier, happier society if we are fairly compensated at 32 hours/week. Let’s put the pressure on! Prop up businesses, restaurants, schools, healthcare facilities, etc., with this set-up who also provide fair wages/benefits. We can make this happen.

Not sure if this belongs here but, I HATE that “he/she did well for him/herself” is exclusive to monetary success.

Link   so they took 500 Billion of OUR tax dollars.. allocated it to wealthy corporations.. and IMMEDIATELY sold that along with 200 Billion in mortgage backed securities to The Fed for 850 Billion in loans (received by these…

Had a terrible terrible experience at McDonald’s this week and emailed the CEO about it. Be a squeaky wheel, if you see employee mistreatment, say something.

Inflation tied to record profits with price increases beyond inflation… and the White House just covered it up.
