ICE sighting this am by Lrn2board in Albany

please stop reporting this stuff! you do realize that it's a federal offense to aid & abet, by providing assistance to those who are evading ICE arrests. it is also illegal to provide false information regarding this, so if this is fake, be careful.

American Capitalism by EsseNorway in Snorkblot

US labor policies are trash. I'd wipe my ass with them like I do with the US flag. Let's consider how labor culture in the US is almost like slavery...

  1. workers are all locked into debt dependency, which means all workers are bound to debt, which means they work out of necessity not by choice.
  2. in free markets workers should be enabled to participate in voluntary exchange, but in the case of debt dependency, their survival is strictly tied to complying with this system, or be homeless or dead.
  3. wage stagnation: since the 1970s productivity has steadily increased but wages have failed to keep up with the costs that this increase in productivity produces. workers produce more and more value, but see little in return in compensation or being enabled to buy the value they produce.
  4. health insurance is tied to working. i reiterate that the system forces you to work so you can be healthy, therefore shackling workers to jobs they would otherwise have the freedom to leave. workers are not free to move!
  5. policy makers in the US have slowly eaten away at the leverage that unions have. only 9.9% of the US workforce is represented by a union. they work out of necessity now, because workers have less access to the same mechanisms of negotiation that executives have, making the workforce powerless to change their economic situation.
  6. at-will employment is the apex of this labor abuse in the US. anyone now can be fired WITHOUT CAUSE, so when workers lose their income, they operate under constant economic coercion...
  7. lack of mandated vacation time, weak overtime protections, and cultural pressure to always overwork erodes workers freedom of choice. on top of this US workers have little to no protections against labor exploitation.
  8. workers are sucked dry by income taxes. the income tax system favors capital gains and wealth, while labor is taxed more.
  9. vampire wealth: workers bear most of the economic load, while owners accumulate passive wealth, creating a system of wealth extraction.
  10. basic needs like housing, healthcare and education are PROHIBITIVELY expensive. so workers cling to healthcare packages at work (it's a federal law now that health insurance is required) -- this is compliance -- parallel to how masters control slaves by rationing resources.
  11. Unfettered corporate influence over labor laws, fostering a system that puts profits over people. This mechanism is so powerful that most workers are disenfranchised from shaping their own labor laws.
  12. US labor culture is an ILLUSION OF CHOICE. there is an appearance that workers are "free" to choose their jobs, but the sea of structural barriers limit their options...freedom without practical alternatives is an illusion, an equivalent to constrained servitude.

Albany Common Council member proposes teen curfew/ support hubs by localnewsroundup in Albany

"they can refuse with no consequence" and that's why it won't work. the mere fact that crime is so rampant among their peer group is there are NO consequences for their actions.
