Our Union has never endorsed a government shutdown before. But we believe we have no other choice.
Management at LGBTQ+ Victory Fund has withheld raises & bonuses from unit members AND refused to bargain in good faith. That is ILLEGAL under the NLRA, so we filed unfair labor practices. We will not stand by and allow discrimination against the workers who make this org run #1u

The only threat that Cuba poses to the United States is that their continued independence is a reminder to every other country that they don't have to bend the knee to Yankee imperialism. It is for that crime that our government wants them destroyed. I know whose side I'm on.

You get a general strikeβon the rare occasions you doβby the long slow slog of building organizing power with those around you in response to local conditions.
Also obviously c) tax cuts and other incentives to private corporations take money out of schools & other public services.
Anyway, it's a fun new sleight of hand to keep an eye out for!
These things could theoretically drive prices down, except a) we have enough monopoly & cartel behavior that prices can be kept artificially high and b) with deregulation, externalities won't be priced in β cutting red tape usually means hidden costs to workers & communities.
