This is a union job that starts at $14/hour.
The UAW was the last anarcho-syndicalist union in America with any power when Walter Reuther was assassinated. What would Reuther think of the UAW now?
This UAW member at Ford's Kentucky Truck Plant, who makes $16/hr working in a trash room with no fans and no water, told me his parents were able to raise a family of 10 from the wages of just 1 auto job.
The UAW conceded all that! Rank-and-file committees need to take it back.

So let's tie this secret army in with another lose thread, shall we?
A whistle blower is telling Ron Wyden that NCIS (the Navy's cops) purchased a web monitoring (read hacking) tool with access to 90% of the web. What could go wrong?
New: the US military has spent millions of dollars on a powerful internet monitoring tool that includes browsing data, email data, cookies, more. Data is worldwide, covers 90%+ of the internet, harvested from ISPs then sold to military by private company.

“Cops murder prisoner with forced OD.”
Amended autopsy report reveals Elijah McClain, a Black man who died after a confrontation with police officers in Aurora, Colorado, in 2019, died because he was injected with ketamine after being forcibly restrained.

Elon Musk believes "the woke mind virus" needs to be "eradicated" to save civilization. Can we afford not to take that seriously?
@TheEclecticRad
I tend not to take people that say things like that too seriously. It goes under the Tin-Foil Hat Squad Ramblings for me. But I agree that I might be down playing it some. So you're probably right in retrospect and it is extremely problematic in the general pop.

I find it weird that Jimmy Dore is sarcastically mocking the idea of stripping Pfizer of its patent protections at the same time he's claiming that Big Pharma wants to get rich off the vaccine. If he's worried about profiteering, shouldn't Jimmy support stripping the patents? 🤔
@trotskybaby
@TheEclecticRad
Wait, the dude actually defends Pfizer keeping its patent? LOL this is what I mean when I say anti-vaxxers are a boon to big pharma.
Here are a few lobbying disclosures from 2021 for client: Pfizer.
Note the issues the company is lobbying on: IP/patent protection

Capitalism is an economic system and the liberal democratic political system is capitalism's good cop, so that capitalists get what they want from society.
If capitalists feel threatened by liberal democracy, they call on the bad cop: fascism.
So how do you beat fascism?
