The only hope i feel for the future of this country is workers unionizing. Its the only leverage the poor and middle class have. We need more unions.
At this point it's a race to see whether the workers will band together before the magats go full fascist. This decade is about to get really interesting.
I don't want interesting, I want a decent life, preferably not in slavery to the rich... Is it time to move to Sweden?
Idk.. recently I read about a guy that actually moved from there to America...I was perplexed 🤔.
Grass is always greener to some people.
I have two philosophies in life.
Same thing happening here. 20% of people voted for the fascists last election. Now they're trying to pass a law forcing teachers, doctors, nurses, etc. to report illegal immigrants to the authorities.
Also, massive cuts to welfare, scrapped environmental goals. The list is expanding
Maybe workers should have more power to influence government decisions as opposed to the current situation where the people with money have the most influence in government?
Individual and collective laborers negotiating their contracts with businesses was always meant to be an integral part of a healthy capitalist society. This idea that individuals were meant to accept any shitty contract a corporation gives them and roll over happened because the government failed to do it's job of regulating corporations from abusing their power.
