🚹 THE ECONOMY, UNIONS, AND YOU🚹

"Let's be clear. After this report, after this study, after all of the information we have seen, after everything that has gone on the last few years... When politicians are anti-union, you need to remember that they're not actually anti-union.

They're anti-YOU.

Because its YOU that's paid less. Its YOU that has less benefits. Its you that is so easily replaced."

This is how I'm feeling in this after stealing some time during work hours to prep and drill holes in the wall to hang the IKEA cabinet that I assembled yesterday after waiting 20 days for the fucking delivery. đŸ’Ș

I feel like more people should be aware and talking about this

These big tech motherfuckers that are trying to take control of everything on the internet need to be burned to the fucking ground at this point. The internet is the last bastion of freedom we have left and these corporations want to rip away our rights to squeeze more money out of us

We MUST prevent shit like this from being implemented at all costs

Mom tried to call me, but my phone is acting up. Microphone won't work on any phone program, despite permissions granted.

Turns out she needed a ride to Urgent Care. Drove 30 min. to her place, 30 min. at Urgent Care, then 30 min. to ER (knew this would happen).

And because of the glorious American health care system, we sat on our asses for four fucking hours (5 min. blood panel, 5 min. CT) and they couldn't find her doctor anywhere.

Only awake for an hour and already deeply annoyed by all the corporate bullshit happening in the world.

There's this Dutch tech site called "Tweakers", used to be rad, but these days they just post "news" about Twitter all the time, and if you call Elon a fascist in the comments, it's deleted, because it's not "constructive" (read: it's not good for their advertisers).

But at the same time, they make money by platforming that same fascist.. ugh!

“The purpose of the chief repressive institutions within the totalitarian capitalist state is clearly to discourage and prohibit certain activity, and the prohibitions are aimed at very distinctly defined sectors of the class–and race–sensitized society. The ultimate expression of law is not order–it’s prison. There are hundreds upon hundreds of prisons, and thousands upon thousands of laws, yet there is no social order, no social peace. Anglo-Saxon bourgeois law is tied firmly into economics. One can even pick that out of those Vital Statistics. Bourgeois law protects property relations and not social relationships. The cultural traits of capitalist society that also tend to check activity–(individualism, artificial politeness juxtaposed to an aloof rudeness, the rush to learn 'how to' instead of 'what is')–are secondary really, and intended for those mild cases (and groups) that require preventive measures only. The law and everything that interlocks with it was constructed for poor, desperate people like me.”

--George Jackson, Blood In My Eyes

Here is n idea to improve our world:

Every time a useful software/service/app reaches a certain amount of users the company becomes state owned.
The founders get a handsome compensation and can move on to the next project.
Wouldn't that encourage founders to create valuable businesses if such sweet exit would be an option? No? Why not?

“What will you do with the lazy ones, who would not work?'

No one is lazy. They grow hopeless from the misery of their present existence, and give up. Under our order of things, every men would do the work he liked, and would have as much as his neighbor, so could not be unhappy and discouraged.”
― Emma Goldman

made this last night, a system that places people into a daily grind without any hope of freedom to follow passion and improve the lives of those around us is slavey.

It’s why I joined the IWW and it’s why we need to rethink how a good society can focus on need, rather than constant growth for the very rich.

Workers make everything, yet they have no power to control production. Workers of the world unite!

Remember earlier in the year when the government said your energy bill was a necessary sacrifice to help Ukrainians win the war against Russia and anyone who disagreed was a traitor? Well, you’re going to need to sit down for this one, but it turns out this was bollocks. normalislandnews.substack.com/

Loblaws and SDM quarterly profit up to $508 million

Revenue across all of the company's businesses came in at $13.7 billion — an increase of $891 million, or almost seven per cent.

The company says the growth in its food division is led by discount stores, as consumers continue to push back against stubbornly high inflation.

Aaaand I was not laid off, but the rest of my team was. Should have played the power ball, since my luck is apparently up.

But seriously:

Here's an idea, open your bitcoin mining farm up as a cooling center in these record-breaking temperatures.

Just kidding. If you wanted to help people you wouldn't be mining.

Hey

If you think you cant unionize or join a Union

Guess what

Yes you can

Fuck what your contract says

Form a union

Do you think they want the bad PR and fallout of firing a bunch of workers because they formed a union when unionization support is increasing? And go through the hassle of replacing all those jobs while losing profits trying to fill them?

If you have the numbers you DO have the power

Businesses know this and it TERRIFIES them
