Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Hear me out. After they get fired, other essential workers should also go on strike. Every. One.
Getting them to all do it at once is the hard part. If only some do it, they sacrifice for little to no results. That's why things are the way they are, to minimize organization and maximize the risk.
Doesn't help when they made life so unlivable that you're constantly worried about everything. Really good system for legal slavery.
Unionization and strikes are fully doable with the means provided, especially given large unions that could assist with their strike funds. We do not live in legal slavery yet, and being willing to make the small sacrifice today for a better tomorrow is necessary to keep it that way. Sign up for a union today, organize your workplace tomorrow, and prepare for a general strike.
Unions and strikes are the symptoms of a failed system. I have a really bad feeling the moment everyone realizes the aristocratic society wanted this economic system the sooner we can switch to a real economy that doesn't have socialism. Capitalism works but most companies should've died in covid not being able to make it. The fact that all these companies saw record profits means its a controlled market and no longer capitalism anyways.
This is the result of capitalism, caused by it. Capitalism inevitably brings about a failed system.
But, unions are also a part of capitalism . They allow every to bargain. Otherwise, everything is captive to the rich
Not getting paid anyway is motivational.
