Believe it or not, you can criticize the sitting dem president and not think Trump is better. If a president has claimed to be pro-union, but appears to union leaders to not be doing enough, that’s a valid critique.
I absolutely agree, but in this climate any vote swayed from Biden is a danger for the entire planet. I don’t particularly like a two party system, much less a one oarty system.
It’s not just climate at stake, there are basic liberties and some level of worldwide stability that we used to give for granted, which are going to be a thing of the past if Trump goes back to office.
The point of no return was maybe citizens United, or when Bush stole the election from Gore. Every month has been the hottest month ever recorded for like the past year dude, we’re cooked.
Of course good ol Bernie Sanders is out there in the crowd with the workers. He’s the only authentic, legit politician I’ve ever seen.
Amazon sued the NLRB, arguing that the agency was unconstitutional and deprived the company of its First Amendment rights
Companies don’t have first amendment rights, motherfucker! They’re not people. IDC what some dumb ass Regan era law said. People are held accountable for their actions, and American companies are not. No rights without accountability.
Read the article, it links to another explaining Chris small’s own union complaining about his refusal to hold elections, they’ve asked a judge to force an election because Chris smalls refuses to do so after changing the union charter without a vote…
“I met Joe Biden,” Smalls said, referring to the 2022 meeting where the president referred to him as “my kind of trouble.”
Smalls was less enthusiastic. “I met [Biden], I met a lot of these politicians that we thought would be looking out for the working class. And y’all — there ain’t no cavalry coming. I met with Joe Biden for an hour, and I don’t remember the conversation — it was that bad. When I left the White House, I felt empty.”
Six months after that meeting, Amazon secured an $8 billion loan from the federal government. “And that just told me right there that, once again, if we don’t organize, nothing’s going to be given to us. Nobody’s going to be held accountable,” Smalls said.
“So it’s a must. It’s our duty. Because we’re at a point of no return. We have to organize ourselves. Because no amount of money in the world can stop the power of people when we come together.”
I get that. What I don’t get is why our government would be involved in loaning them our tax dollars. Usually the government borrows money through bonds, or backs loans. They don’t usually directly loan our tax dollars out to wealthy corporations.
Also why in the hell is a giant corporation like Amazon, with pockets do deep they exceed the GDP of many countries, getting a loan from the federal government. Make it make sense.
That part seems wrong. Amazon has to announce stuff like that. SEC filing on the loan has a list of all the lenders and none of them are the government.
Maybe what they meant was that it's one of those things the government had to approve, similar to when big companies merge and the SEC has to weigh in first. Just a guess.
