    The only hope i feel for the future of this country is workers unionizing. Its the only leverage the poor and middle class have. We need more unions.

      At this point it’s a race to see whether the workers will band together before the magats go full fascist. This decade is about to get really interesting.

        I don’t want interesting, I want a decent life, preferably not in slavery to the rich… Is it time to move to Sweden?

          Same thing happening here. 20% of people voted for the fascists last election. Now they’re trying to pass a law forcing teachers, doctors, nurses, etc. to report illegal immigrants to the authorities.

          Also, massive cuts to welfare, scrapped environmental goals. The list is expanding

            Grass is always greener to some people.

            I have two philosophies in life.

            1. Love where you live despite the flaws
            2. It’s easier to fight from inside the belly of the beast than outside it

        Maybe workers should have more power to influence government decisions as opposed to the current situation where the people with money have the most influence in government?
