@earthstepper@davidsirota They have no sick days. Not paid ones, sick days, at all. They want to be able to call out sick without being fired. The operators want them on call 24/7 365. They threaten to strike and congress intervenes in a labor dispute to strip them of legal protections for striking.
@DragonflyMama7@davidsirota@fake_biden Do you see yet how this is dramatically pro capitalist and anti-labor? If a strike occurred it would be short. Operators know one is unlikely since congress will come to their rescue so they arenโt negotiating. Meanwhile 60% increase to energy prices because the Ukraine war ๐

@TravisZarelli @davidsirota They would still not be doing the right thing, but at least they would be giving the workers some of what they are asking for and putting the actual people responsible for the strike on notice- railway operators enjoying record profits who know Uncle Sam will break a strike.
@TravisZarelli @davidsirota They are asking for 14 days unpaid sick leave. They can literally get fired for ever getting sick right now. If the dems had made 7 days unpaid leave part of the contract they forced on the workers instead of breaking it into a separate bill they know would get voted downโฆ
@WilliamMatt22@QuintonMurdock@davidsirota @DallasFoodBlog Utilizing a century old law to protect the rail industryโs record profits from paying for unpaid sick days is draconian in its anti-labor implications. If the strike happens it is because an industry enjoying record profits wonโt negotiate. Stop blaming workers.

By the way, one day after this massive story about the US Govt directing Big Tech censorship was published by a Dem-friendly site, with a popular left-wing figure as one of the reporters, neither CNN nor MSNBC invited them on, and no Dem politician has mentioned it.
Why is this?
I've literally promoted nothing except for that the CPC letter was a good step and shouldn't have been retracted.
You guys are nuts. Keep trolling. I'm stronger than the CPC.
I appreciate you drawing attention to my podcast tho!

Just in case folks don't know Adams has declared a war on homeless, fed into the lie that NYC is extremely dangerous, given cops even more money, and literally defunded schools. Don't elect cops.
Congrats Americans,
You've been conned into spending more money on Ukraine than Russia spends annually on its entire military budget.
To further the celebration, a good chunk of that money is going to our weapons manufacturers who will reward our politicians handsomely
So this is where we are in this damn country now. These hateful bigots have put so much fear into people that they are trying to gender police public bathrooms.
Tell me at what point in this person's experience would it have even made a difference?
@AnimalJayson I would but... i heard they eviscerated the difficulty, and I'm trying to play EP after this ( had it but was too hard for me as a kid) so i figure i should learn the battle system in the first game to prepare me for the gauntlet i know is coming. love it so far besides this.
@AnimalJayson i mean i get it could be like " ha ha look high school kids are immature and homophobic" but it wasn't funny when it was happening to me as a kid and i dont wanna have to relive it. kinda wish this translator would take it out.
@AnimalJayson its an invention of the fan translation. roughly half or more of the students at 7sisters call rival school "kasugayama" K-ass-u-gay-ama". Which i feel like... why put casual homophobia in this game i came to this game to avoid homophobia and they ADDED MORE IN
