Strengthening union power with migrant workers.

To mark International Migrants Day, the ITUC organised a webinar, in which trade unions from every region shared their experiences of building union power with migrant workers. The webinar highlighted the importance of ensuring democracy at work for migrant workers, including the effective exercise of their right to freedom of association and collective bargaining through trade unions.

Overreach Review Audible: Russian Economics & why countries need Stabilization plans?

Written by Ashton Deroy Currency reserves are being withdrawn, Imports are down and exports of Russian Oil are down. It would stand to reason if you studied standard Economic theory. Russia is going broke! That probably isn’t the case. Isolationism isn’t ideally for any country. However if it had to be done somewhere? Russia is one of the better countries for handling this type of isolation.…

Apologies, I’m justifiably livid and will be for… who knows how long.

Before I can find a way to put that to good use, here’s an equally angry sketch.

Rage against the dying of the light.

Metaphor: reFantazio really stares you dead in the eye and says 'democracy is not some magical system that ensures moral good. Even if you could take away all the barriers and practical difficulties, even if you could guarantee beyond a shadow of a doubt that the entire nation voted, and the vote could not be tampered with, and that it was a genuine expression of their true belief of who was most fit to rule with no other concerns taken into consideration- that still would not keep people from elevating strongmen and demagogues and tyrants. Their is no promise that the 'will of the people' will always be the most moral, the most practical, or the most wise choice. People are short sighted and easily swayed and ruled by their biases and instincts, and more then that they often lack the time energy and understanding to make the most wise choice.'

And then as you are staring into the black void of hopelessness it keeps going and says 'And that's okay. People have lived beneath unjust, imperfect systems since the dawn of civilization. All these things, from Republics, to Theocracies, to Monarchies, to Dictatorships- they are all human creations and so reflect human flaws. It's okay. It doesn't mean you stop living, stop helping other people, stop trying to do the best for those you care for. It doesn't absolve you of your duties and responsibilities to others. Dream of a better world, and do what you can for the people you can and you might just make the world a better place, the same way everyone throughout history has- one day a time, and one choice after another.'

Dear liberal women:

Hating ALL men and refusing to date ANY men because SOME men voted for Trump is only going to push the men who voted for Kamala to the Republican side. Stop hating those who support you.

The men who supported you want to love you and to be loved.

Let them. Share it back.

vetinari is fascinating because the patricianship really does not work with anyone else. like. it IS a seat of absolute power. he IS a tyrant. but he genuinely has the objective interest of the city at heart. he can hardly be self-serving as a leader because to him being self-serving means serving the city (insert that one post that theorized that vetinari was like the anthropomorphic personification of ankh-morpork, i can't remember who the op was). he's manipulative, he's an Assassin, he's purposely threatening and he has almost no true friends, AND he can also push the city in the right direction with such self-sacrificing directive that it shifts from the ankh-morpork of night watch to the better ankh-morpork of going postal (or the 'present' of night watch; idk, i think going postal is the latest version of AM i've read so far). in the hands of anyone with even a fraction of a percent more selfishness, the patricianship becomes a true tyranny. but because vetinari is such a weird bastard, what's broken starts to be fixed, rather than be built into something that consolidates his power. si non confectus, non reficiat, but also whatever the latin is for i'm on an altar for this monster of a city

Concept: One of the Bat kids starts a "Let us kill the Joker" petition on change.org and every single person in Gotham signs it except for Bruce Wayne

Looks like the overwhelming best ATLA character is Sokka, Katara, Toph, and Zuko's best friend! Who is of course Avatar Aang!
