Thanks to Republicans

The US basically has legal bribery in the form of lobbying so unless a coalition of people can get together to outbid the automakers, oil companies, and other businesses interested in keeping cars on the road, there’s a fat chance that We the People can do jack shit.

WE HAVE THE LOWEST INFLATION IN THE WORLD.

I hate how this discussion always seems to be framed as if American’s just really love gas guzzling ICE cars. Like yeah, some do. But then there are the rest of us that just have a massive daily commute and no other option to make the 25 miles to work and back. There’s no bus or train that goes to my job, and I can’t…

“My personal beliefs mean that I can object to treating a patient.”

We’re in a pretty intense moment of worker organizing and unionizing, between the current strikes (75,000 healthcare workers just started striking against Kaiser, SAG-AFTRA, UAW, etc), union drives (Starbucks, Amazon, etc) and so forth.

I’m a pharmacist, which I think qualifies as a white collar job. Are you suggesting that my colleagues and I shouldn’t get worker protections?

What?

We ALL deserve more. A LOT more. Even your co-worker “slacker Jackson” who never does his fair share of work.

Well said. I have been union for 25 years and 6 of that a union steward and have talked to a lot of young men, filled with youthful overconfidence, that thought they could negotiate better than a union, did not need a union, Etc. When they saw first hand union protections from idiot, bad, bosses, they end up very…

Whenever there is a strike, these websites should do a write up about some of America’s most impactful strikes in our history. Pullman, Blair Mountain, and many more. 

Wow just wow, the 40 year war on unions have brainwashed so many into believing that collective bargaining is evil. Negating abuse by saying the abuse could be worse is not healthy. Unions gave us so much. Time to get them into more non union shops.

One nice thing about electric mowers (I have a push one for my small yard) is that they don’t idle. You push start, mow for a while. Let go of the safety bar and it shuts off as you pick up a tree limb or whatever. Go back push start and go back to mowing. It’s a 100x nicer than having to worry about having the mower…

If I have 30 items and you come up behind me in a checkout line with 2 items, I’ll definitely offer to let you go ahead of me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Again, a better analogy would be:

Have you considered having less grass? What do you do with all that lawn? What might you do with all those newfound hours of freedom if you got rid of it? (I’m not being a dick, I’m sincerely interested.)

I have a mowing service so that’s not an issue, but all my lawn tools are now battery and it is SO MUCH better. I love being able to grab my blower from behind the garage door and blast everything off the patio in about two minutes. No cord, no gas. Even better for hedge trimmer and weedeater.

I’ve been planning on replacing my 14 year old lawnmower with a battery version when it dies, but it just doesn’t seem to want to. My electricity comes from a coal-burning plant, so it might be a wash environmentally, but I’d enjoy having something quieter.

Whenever I read one of these stories they are always missing the critical information of how the woman voted (or didn’t as the case may be). I want to feel bad for her but without that I can’t.

Idaho state Rep. John Vander Woude, chair of the House Health and Welfare Committee and a co-sponsor of the state’s ban, told NBC he and his colleagues didn’t predict the varying ripple effects of their law.
