BREAKING: Visual Effects (VFX) crews at Marvel Studios have filed for a unionization election with the National Labor Relations Board.

This signals a major shift in the VFX industry, which has been largely non-union since the 70s.

VFX WORKERS ASSEMBLE!! https://t.co/PIEtqtZPfO

Art is far more than a commodity. It is what binds us. It is part of us and our very souls.

Those who help create it produce an incredible wealth that should never be hoarded, for it was always meant to be shared.

[The Nordic Model 🌹 @TheNordicModel]

While workers of the arts fight for recognition, the reality is their value is without limit.

Art is an expression of our identities & cultures. Of our dreams, realities & nightmares. It's the center of amazing communities. It's in how we talk, eat, laugh, dance, sing & build.

While the actors you recognize on TV and in the cinema tend to be very wealthy, the average SAG-AFTRA actor makes 40K per year.

That's 31% below the US National average.

“As a health economist, you become aware very quickly that we use the healthcare system to treat the consequences of poverty, and we do it in an inefficient and expensive way." - Dr Evelyn L. Forget

The best way to improve public health is to reduce poverty.

@AdamMongrain @jdcmedlock Would love to talk about housing if you're interested.

@JerryTurin @MatthewDownhour The findings from economist Evelyn L. Forget were actually based on a comparison of health outcomes among Dauphins residents v Rest of Manitoba.

[The Nordic Model 🌹 @TheNordicModel]

In the 70s, the small Manitoba town of Dauphin was part of a 4 years long experiment. Mincome.

Wanting to address rural poverty, the average family was assured a minimal income of 16k/year.

The Nordic Model wants to express its solidarity with the over 150 thousand federal government workers currently on strike in Canada.

This is one of the largest strikes in decades for the country. The unity displayed is nothing less than commandable.

Tests all across the world have shown it.

Basic Income programs decrease malnutrition, benefit overall health and result in higher educational engagement among both adults and minors. All of which, without disincentivizing employment in any significant way.

Eden was a longtime friend. She always had a way of making people feel welcomed and supported. To bring laughter into a group.

When her family should've supported her, they sabotaged her instead. They didn't love her. But we did.

Rest in Power, Eden. We love you. We miss you.

There is no solution to poverty that doesn't involve the welfare state. Cope about it.

Happy Valentines Day! ❤️

RFSU (Swedish Association for Sexuality Education) makes sex toys, condoms etc. and use the profits for their sexual education. It has radical socialist roots.

They had an 8% condom market share in Sweden in 1968, now it is about 90%.

Use protection 😘

Wow way to copy our ideas, Bernie 🙄

I will be re-introducing my bill to extend Social Security's solvency for the next 75 years & expand benefits by $2,400 a year. How? By scrapping the cap. Today, a billionaire pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $160,000 a year. Let's end that absurdity.

It was so great they even put it on their money!

In 1942 the Canadian 🇨🇦 government founded the Polymer Corporation which produced synthetic rubber to replace the natural rubber which was in short supply during the war

It was a very innovative and profitable Crown Corporation 🍁 not just serving International security

If the US wants more semiconductor manufacturing domestically then direct ownership is worth considering like France, Italy, Taiwan, UAE and China.
