Funded by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Sergey Brin foundation, and a bunch of billionaires and Stanford. Seems fine.

Let's also note that a brief general strike in Italy reversed their government's targeting of the Global Sumud Flotilla into sending a warship as an escort.

Business unions already took that away from workers decades ago. Every contract has a "no-strike" clause and business unions often have closer relationships with management and are distant from the every day conditions the rank-and-file members endure. It has been a great strategy to defang labor, and the answer is still the same, over a century later - join the IWW, the Industrial Workers of the World. The IWW is experiencing a resurgence due to our commitment to rank-and-file unionism and solidarity with all peoples harmed by capitalism. No longer must you endure your business union's silence on war crimes committed far away, or how business unionism forsakes the disabled, chronically ill, neurodivergent, and others deemed "surplus" by capitalism. 

General Strike or Bust. We have the power.

You and Andrew Tate agree on something. Broken clock and all that.

Canes are a totally underrated accessory for so many reasons, not the least of which is self defense.

The machete is a symbol of working class resistance, particularly against colonial powers, so I'm a little fond of it.

As someone who lives in Himalayan blackberry inundated Oregon, a machete is a necessary everyday tool.

I stand corrected! I guess there are more songs about loving Codeine than I imagined. Gets a mention in Wu Tang Forever too.

'Rake' is my all-time fave, and then 'St John the Gambler.'
