On paper, we can strike and we can actually try to do something. In practice, well, the "Good Ol' Boys" down at the Union Hall are too do-nothing to actually make anything happen. I've worked a number of Union jobs, and it's the same problem here that I've seen elsewhere; people who've been around since before the Berlin Wall fell and really don't seem to accept that times have changed. The new generations of workers aren't really down with Foremen who are pricks, or a work environment that shaves two days off your life every day you work. There's a recognition that we're almost literally the only guys you can actually get to work a job like this anymore, that most people would prefer a service job or welfare, and without us it would come crumbling down. We just want the Company to give us the safe working conditions they have always claim we are supposed to have because we know we could just leave and get it elsewhere.

What's bothersome is that we all saw what Joe Biden did when the Railworkers were going to strike. There's a real risk of us getting fucked too as @Snekposter mentioned. That being said, historically we have striked, but the days when that kind of thing were tolerated might be over. The Government is growing less tolerant of us proles acting out after all. I can't imagine how bad it is in other jobs, we at least get paid decent, as far as I can figure, a lot of places don't even have that going for them.

The sooner an actual Workers' Movement can be restarted, the better it will be for all of us Workers in this country. Unfortunately, the low-level organization we do have is too limited to actually achieve much yet, and I'm afraid it's going to take a lot to convince enough people to cut out the DEI shit and get focused on the actual problems without entangling race and gender into it.

Do whatever you can, and try to make sure these idiots don't get away with it. If you can, hit them where it hurts, their wallets, but don't discount other strategies. Also don't forget a job isn't losing your life over. Good luck.

Mitch's...issue, looks like a TIA or transient ischemic attack to me. It's kinda like a temporary mini-stroke (but not really) that has to do with blood flow to certain parts of the brain and sadly is typical in older adults and nothing to really be worried about.

Shame

But wtf do I know, it's not like I was a paramedic for 30 years or anything.

He does look bad, and is a clear example of "the fall" when it comes to an older person. Hopefully in Kentucky they will replace the dem governor this November.

Daily reminder that these are the people in charge of our nation.

As if that would improve Kentucky as a state.

Kentucky has always been sus. They went both ways during the Civil War.
 
While it's fashionable to bash Mitch, just remember that his departure from the Senate would royally fuck the GOP big time.....

1. He came through for Trump to get him acquitted TWICE when Democrats brought their trumped up charges against him but especially the second time, when Mitch could have betrayed him then and there for the Uniparty

2. He's the rule lawyer supreme and that sort of talent is utterly absent among the rest of the Senate GOP rank and file; but especially in Ted Cruz (who's not as clever as he thinks he is)

3. Mitch's pet project, IE the court system and getting conservative justices installed, isn't there in mindset the rest of the GOP.

Even factoring in his issues with Trump, without Mitch, you have Ted Cruz in power over the GOP Senate and Cruz would fuck it up in a month.

Wall Street put all that energy into pushing diversity since 08 for a god-damned reason.

Pretty sure bringing up space aliens just makes people think the media has gone full braindead retarded, more than people already think that.

There a pod cast called something like koncrete and they have a diverse group of people on and they interviewed a dude who was talking about bob lazar of area 51 fame.

The guy did a good job poking holes in bobs story, (in terms of his career and shit) and the guy went on about published darpa projects and basically mentions that shit could just be "security by obscurity"

Like cattle mutilations, atomic bombs went off, goverment wants the thyroids of the cows so they fly out butcher a couple of cows here and there, and "ALIENS"

of course they could just buy the cows with a front company.

But it is weird that the 1990s had so many alien UFO shit like the X files etc. and now no one gives a shit.

Like that WKYK bit about moon bases moon bears and space wizards....."wait are we invading IRAN"

The root term of diversity is division. Basically forcing everyone to be crabs in a bucket. Kike bankers kvetched when they saw OWS protesters in front of where they worked for months, which is why banks and hedge funds are pushing this DEI shit the hardest. Basically when they see a crowd forming that they don’t have direct control, they scramble to either control it or break it up.

I think for a lot of people who are old enough to remember the hey-days of UFOs, there's a big disconnect between the oodles of pictures of flying whatsits being taken in the film camera era, but then when basically every living person on Earth got a camera with them 24/7 and functionally unlimited amounts of film, there wasn't a similarly exponential boom in pictures of saucers.

Aliens invade Earth. What does this mean for our Black, LGBTQ+ communities?

Alien Invasions are a Component of White Supremacy

How Trump's 1/6 Attack Contributed to a Possible Alien Invasion.

There, I have three free headlines for such an event.

As a queer black disabled person of size, I am so exhausted by all these white people spending all of their attention on aliens of color.

I was reading some substack articles recently by Matt Taibbi that the FBI was requesting censorship requests on behalf of the SBU (Ukraine's equivalent to Russia's FSB).

How much self respect do the people in charge have left at this point that they did turn the US constitution into toilet paper during the Bush era.

But now they willing to censor their nation on behalf of a corrupt shithole whose corruption ranked higher than many shitholes in Africa before the war by Western organizations.

I don't think they even did this for the Mossad and everyone likes to mock how the US is a bitch to our greatest ally.
