Our leaders want war

I would rather my labor not go toward funding this kind of thing. Is there any hope for a national walk out?

At Blair Mountain, in the summer of 1921, 13,000 armed miners fought against corporations, corrupt police, and the US military for fair treatment after their government refused their requests. Hundreds died in the Coal Wars. Remember them.

My sister told her boss how it was

My sister started her first ever job 3 months ago at an electronics boxstore. For the first month she quite enjoyed it but now she’s pretty sour about it. She says the managers throw their weight around, treat staff awfully and she experienced blatant sexism. A new manager started at the store recently and last week she was called to the managers office. He said to her “the previous manager said you were friendly, bubbly and enjoyed your job. I’m not getting that from you now; what we can do to improve your experience with us?”.

It’s wild that most Americans live under a despotic authoritarian regime but will fall all over themselves to defend it.

Most people spend over half their waking life at work and are governed by minor despots and tyrants who can destroy their livelihood, strip them of healthcare, and subject them to abuse and harassment, all on a passing whim. Your boss governs more of your life than the government. Your working conditions have a far greater material impact on you and your family than congressional committees. Do you get to vote on your wages? On your boss's wages? Do you get a say in what the company makes, sells, or who it does business with? Is your existence as a human being recognized in any capacity in the decision making of your employer? Absolutely not. You live in tyranny. You live under an authoritarian regime more pernicious and harmful than whatever boogieman conservative media is trying to sell you. The rich live in “liberal democracies.” Workers live in fear.
