More power to yah, my friend. I imagine you can only point to anecdotal evidence to support any of your claims. Let me know if you need me to do some research for you on all the studies that show unions have an overall positive effect for all it’s members, and non members who just complain. I get that some union leadership might suck, but I would point you back to the first post where maybe you should do something about it.
I won’t even make you pay dues for the first link
I can respect some aspects of that. Not everyone is meant to or even cut out to lead. Good on you for realizing that about yourself.
What I don’t understand is how you see the obvious benefits of a union, and how a small portion of your pay check could go a long way to making your own benefits better including increasing your overall pay so that union due are less of a burden on your budget. No one said you had to be in charge. Find one other person who agrees that unions can be/do better and get them to run, because not ever person out there wants to be a greedy mob boss style union leader. A union is about to be the only thing standing between you, and that CEO thinking you’re little more than slave labor, because this administration is dismantling as many consumer and worker protections as it can.
Be the change that you want to see. You point out all these things they are doing wrong, have you tried running for a union leadership position and changing the things you see they are doing wrong?
If only there was a name for a group of employees getting together to ask management for some collective bargaining or something.
Sugar, water, purple!
What was Ronald Reagan’s famous line about “most terrifying words"? Something like “I’m the republican government, and if you need help you can go fuck yourself”.
I think you mean non secular state, secular means without respect to religion.
Edit: or are you saying the state should not be neutral to religion (definition of secular), but dismiss it entirely?
Behind the Bastards does a great podcast about that. Called “How Conservatism Won”.
It was an incredibly interesting piece about how Think Tanks are behind the shit show you see before us today. A literal playbook shadow written by a future supreme court justice nominated by Tricky Dick Nixon. It was well worth a listen much like most of BtB stuff is.
I was thinking the same thing about the blades. I don’t think there would be enough upflow of air to spin them fast enough for control.
There is a lot of actual control that goes into an autorotation as well as a lot of variables that have to be taken into account. It’s not like a plane where you can glide for a while before hitting the ground. You’re going in hot either way. Not sure it would slow a drone down that much even if they could.
About as straightforward as DizqueTV
Hahahahahahahahaahahahaha
Oh wait, you’re serious, let me laugh even harder
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH
But really, why can’t they/trump be more like that Jesus fellow they all claim to follow?
I don’t personally consider someone who is a centerist to be progressive at all. Maybe just me though. She is exactly as progressive as Biden which is why her messaging after Biden announced he was stepping down didn’t involve and real progressive moves other than some minor tax cuts and legalizing cannabis. She lost because she is just the woman version of Joe Biden. Not that she gets much say until she is elected, but she could have come out swinging a lot harder to the left instead of joining up with Liz Cheney who also isn’t known to be that progressive. She is exactly who the DNC wanted running, which is why they didn’t hold an abbreviated Democratic primary for 2024.
She was not progressive at all! I think the person was saying that she lost because she was too progressive as a misconception to why she was one of the first out in 2020.
She wasn’t too progressive for the DNC to put her second on the ticket, a heart attack from a very old man away from being president. That’s exactly why she was on the ticket. I am pretty sure she was one of the least progressive candidates, dropping out before 2020 even started.
I’m not smart enough to know what that means.
She lost the first primary bc she had progressive ideas. The DNC wouldn’t allow that.
Literally from what they said
Yet her being a progressive was not what lost her the 2020 primary, contrary to this person’s original point. You just expounded on my point, thanks. At no point did she lose something because she was too progressive.
How does someone who has made it all the way to Lemmy to post a comment not have an ad blocker these days? If you have the motivation to post, why not use that to look up how to block ads?
You didn’t clarify anything, especially not the incorrect point you were trying to make. I hope you have a more enlightened day.
Isn’t that how it already is? The companies pass the expense onto the customer by raising prices? Unless there were some executives taking pay cuts that I’m not aware of, but that seems unlikely.
This sounds like it’s basically doing the same as taxes are where corpos get to not pay their fair share for trickle down “reasons” while also reaping all of the benefits they don’t deserve. All while continuing to make record profits.
