@prageru Capitalism and freedom are inherently incompatible as you have to work 40hrs/week for a master in exchange for a wage to live indoors and eat food.
Your landlord decides if you can have a pet.
Your boss decides if you can have a vacation.
The rich decide our government.
Strikes must be contagious, because pilots at American Airlines voted to authorize a strike, and Southwest could be next.
96% of the AA pilot's union came out to vote, and 99% chose YES.
The Southwest pilots union started their vote Monday, and it's expected to pass easily.
Hey Chicago!! If you still havent casted your vote for @Brandon4Chicago, try to get it done today or early tomorrow! My plan is to vote tomorrow before I have to go to work, and before the weather is supposed to get gnarly. If you're voting tomorrow, do it in the morning!

If the rail industry can afford to spend $25.5 billion this year to buy back its own stock and hand out huge dividends to its wealthy shareholders, please do not tell me it cannot afford to guarantee paid sick days to its workers and provide them with a decent quality of life.
Full sellout from the White House for the majority of rail workers who rejected the deal the President brokered, preemptively denying them the right to strike.
