DSA candidate Tim Denson tries to sell the crowd on “democratizing the workplace” and says Walmart should belong to the workers.
Big mistake. The guy 6 ft away from him grew up in Venezuela. And he’s heard this communist fairy tale before.
DANIEL DI MARTINO: “So you want to take it [Walmart] from its owners and have the workers do what?”
TIM DENSON: “I want the workers to own it and get paid better and have better benefits and be able to provide better lives for their families.”
DI MARTINO: “We can buy shares in Walmart right now. In fact, all of the SpaceX workers became millionaires overnight.”
“You can start a workers’ cooperative right now. It’s legal, but under a socialist country, you’re not allowed to own your own property and start your own private corporation.”
Denson tried to refute Di Martino’s point. Then Di Martino dropped this line on him:
DI MARTINO: “It’s very easy to be a socialist in a capitalist country. It’s illegal to be a capitalist in a socialist country. That is the difference.”
[audience applause]
Then it got personal:
DI MARTINO: “When I had to go to the grocery store, Tim, I had to put my fingerprint in a scanning machine so that they would tell me what I was allowed to purchase.”
“And I could only go Mondays and Saturdays because we have to ration food, because that’s what happens when there’s no profit motive and the farmers, their food is confiscated because they had to sell it to the government and everybody else at the price the government tells the farmers.”
“My mom made chocolate bonbons for parties.”
“Well, people have a right to chocolate, so we had a price control on chocolate.”
“So my mom had to buy counterfeit chocolate, put it in black bags as if we were cocaine drug dealers. That’s what socialism was in Venezuela. That’s what worker ownership of the means of production is.”
“Where has it ever worked?”
Denson had no answer. Because there isn’t one.
Mark Ruffalo, I’m in SAG-AFTRA just like you. Our union dues are capped at the first $1 million in covered earnings. That means high earners like yourself don’t pay work dues on earnings above that amount.
Why not voluntarily contribute more to help fellow actors who are struggling to afford healthcare and make ends meet?
You’re criticizing Elon Musk over wealth, taxes and accountability. Maybe start by looking at the system you benefit from. Sound familiar?
Blaise Bradley might be out of a job..
can't imagine Maurice Blackburn Lawyers will be to thrilled with this....
Promoting & celebrating the murdering of conservatives on social media might violate his employment contract.

🇩🇪🔴 Migrants in Germany openly admit they want to rob, fight, and f**k during "Gen Z" youth protests.
Migrant youth 1: "We just want to rob stores."
Migrant youth 2: "We want to fight with police officers."
Migrant youth 3: "We want to f**k Leipzig!"
They prove time and time again that they are not protesting for “better schools,” but instead openly admit they want to loot, fight the police, and destroy the cities that opened the door for them to move in.

🚨🚨 Police say that the psycho who attacked @basedinmalibu HAS BEEN LET GO
Prosecutors refused to hold despite the fact that she made terroristic threats, brutally assaulted Liz, smacked @teameffujoe in the face, tried to punch me, and resisted arrest.
2 beautiful golden retrievers arrived this week. We got them from a life of neglect an abuse.
This is their full story and the early medical outlook. Hard to believe how they remain so happy.
A longer watch but one that shows you exactly what a complicated rescue involves ❤️
🚨WHAT ON EARTH?!!
A Nashville TEACHER OF THE YEAR walked away from her career because she says the district ORDERED HER TO FABRICATE A STUDENT’S GRADE.
She refused, so they went into the system and CHANGED IT THEMSELVES.
According to the teacher, a student didn’t finish a project so Hardcastle (the teacher) gave the grade the student earned... a failing grade.
Then a parent came in and SAT IN THE OFFICE FOR HOURS until that grade changed.
Three administrators huddled up and decided the AWARD-WINNING TEACHER was the problem.
She still refused to change the grade.
So they overrode her and changed it ANYWAY.
She quit in May and put all of it in a three-page resignation letter. It’s public. Read it yourself. She calls it GRADE FABRICATION.
And then she stood up in front of the school board and said the quiet part into a microphone: “Statistics are being skewed to protect the district, not our children.”
Our kids can’t read.
Can’t write.
Can’t do basic math.
...but the SCHOOL METRICS LOOK GREAT.
AND SHE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE.
WSMV4 Investigates pulled the internal emails of Diana Wills, a math teacher at Overton High.
Administrators told her she had to give FAILING STUDENTS a PASSING GRADE because she "hadn’t notified their parents first..."
She put her refusal in writing: “What is being done is unethical and could very well be interpreted as illegal.”
THE DISTRICT SUSPENDED HER.
She’s suing them right now.
At MNPS, when a teacher and an administrator disagree about a grade, THE ADMINISTRATOR WINS.
Not the person who taught the class.
Not the person who graded the work.
The bureaucrat whose numbers go UP when your kid passes.
