So Putin has been paying Nazis to fight Nazis and some of those Nazis are planing a coup against him.
The West has also been supporting Nazis to fight Nazis.
And now in America Nazis are coming out again and are doing Nazi things.
As someone who lives in Illinois “I hate Illinois Nazis.”

The top 10% owns 76% of the wealth. The bottom 50% owns less than 1%.
No shit.
Conservatism exists to keep the status quo and protect the wealthy elites.
Even though in America our benefits are lousy those were fought for and people died for that stuff.
-8 hour work day -Weekends -12 week unpaid maternity leave -Child Labor Laws (rip) -OSHA -Unions
And civil liberties. -Ending legal segregation -Voting Rights Act -Civil Rights Act -Women’s Voting Rights -End of Slavery -and everything else I’m forgetting.
Modern protests haven’t worked in a long time. I believe the reason is there are the people who want to reform the system. Then there are the militant groups fighting for the same thing but in a far more radical way want to burn the system to the ground. In history we had both groups. Today we do not have the militant flank. We only have the reformists. There is no militant radical group that makes the reformist option palatable. There is no threat to the bourgeois.
We must somehow organize a cohesive United Labor Movement regardless of political affiliation. A movement that reminds the elites that we have the power. Frankly they need to be terrified of us. Make them fear us. If they do not enact legislation to better our lives then they need to know we will go after them.
I don’t know how or where todo this.
This is just my arm chair former redditor criticism of the system while not actually taking action.
There is a 3% tax added specifically to cover extra pay for Airport Workers. Why are you being asked to tip for a self service kiosk.
I hate this. If I don’t tip I’m an asshole. If I tip I let companies pay their workers like garbage.
Dear companies. Pay your employees more. Frankly I’d be less insulted if they just rose the price by 20% then asking me to tip. IMHO if they employers did this they would just pocket the difference.
And I’m guessing bus boys are paid even less than the server.
This is amazing. Love it. Cables are managed too.
I don’t believe so.
Privatizing the gains and publicizing is the most American thing I have heard of.
We were told we needed the unit replaced because it needed Freon that was no longer available.
Somehow my dad has a guy who came to the house and filled it up and left very discreetly.
I hope to. This gives the same vibes and works far better than the Reddit app and website.
The covid national emergency is declared over. Potentially up to 15 million people will lose Medicaid expansion. Florida already kicked off 600,000 people. An 87 year old who had a daily care taker lost access even though they were qualified after the cut. A 7 year old boy will now die because they took access to his leukemia treatment. About half the people still qualify but they are making everyone reapply.
My dad some how affords stupidly expensive healthcare. Premiums are $4,000 a month. ER copay is $1000. ER deductible is $18,400 per family. My mom is now on a medication that costs $1400 a day. With other meds her medication is $15,800 a month for the rest of her life (she is 59). With insurance it goes down to $28 She has had $100,000 in medical bills. She has some super rare condition. Our insurance said one of the out of network doctors was covered. My mom verified multiple times. Now they don’t want to cover that doctor so we are stuck with a $25,000 medical bill. My mom says she will put it on the lowest amount a month for the rest of her life.
In other words if my dad couldn’t afford this insurance she probably would be dead now or in a few months.
Crazy is that we are all Canadian and if we lived there we could go on OHIP plus extra insurance for a few hundred bucks a month. For those who say Canadian’s have wait times, so do we. The difference is you will be seen and will not go medically bankrupt or denied care because you are too poor.
The excuse is that Canadians come to America for better doctors with lower wait times. They do. But when you realize they come to the States they don’t have long term insurance. Meaning they pay out of pocket. So it’s wealthy Canadians that can afford insanely high prices.
All my family in Canada says my father is pissing away money. He is.
God Bless American Healthcare! /s
TLDR Doug Ford can sod off and go to hell.
