#Working class

[richo1915]

For anybody who is interested in action against the state.

Handy for Union Members as well. If the Libs get up in the election, we’ll all be back on the streets again fighting for the Working Class.

Fourth in a series I of comics about protesting safety tips I made with @this.is.ysabel . This one is about the dangers of police surveillance and how to avoid it if possible. Keep being safe when you go out. Don’t get snatched!

The production crew at the Atlantic Theater Company in New York City has been on strike since January 12 because our management refuses to negotiate in good faith. We first unionized a full calendar year ago, and we’re fighting for our first contract.

Last month, our bosses suddenly attempted to impose non-negotiable conditions and threatened to cancel upcoming shows, nearly 100 workers UNANIMOUSLY voted to authorize a strike in response.

As Workers we’ve been clear on our priorities, including industry-standard wages, fair scheduling, and healthcare benefits for all employees. Unfortunately, we’ve now waited 24 days for the Atlantic Theater to provide a counterproposal, and counting…

Can you take 20 seconds to sign and share the petition to urge the Atlantic Theater Company to end the delays, drop the union-busting, and negotiate a fair contract?

I need y’all to understand that every time that somebody who makes $10,000 a year thinks that somebody who makes $30,000 a year thinks that somebody who makes $50,000 a year thinks that somebody who makes $100,000 a year thinks that YES EVEN somebody who makes $150,000 a year is the real enemy

…a billionaire wins and we all lose.

And every time that somebody who makes $150,000 a year thinks that they’re better than somebody else who makes $100,000 a year thinks that they’re better than somebody else who makes $50,000 a year thinks that they’re better than somebody else who makes $30,000 a year thinks that they’re better than somebody else who makes $10,000 a year

…a billionaire wins and we all lose.

Privilege and comfort rises with income, obvi. It’s not all “the same.” But please zoom the fuck out and look at the whole picture. The WHOLE picture.

for fucks sake. this is why we must boycott, support workers on strike, and take action.

They can’t even give a straight answer.

There's something you need to know about US health insurance

While the topic is still hot I want to mention something I think is important. I have made a post or two before but it bears repeating.

I once worked at a call center of one of the leading health insurance companies

The corruption and coddling of "the rich" is REAL.

None of the executives of Facebook, snap chat, twitter (any social media or tech company) pay deductibles

YES THE RICH DO NOT HAVE DEDUCTIBLES

Not only that but ELECTIVE SURGERIES (noes jobs, boob jobs, face lifts, tummy tucks ect.) for these people was also covered in full.

And these are RICH people. Not your neighbor who collects fancy watches with the lake house. Not the guy with the loud shiny car or the lady with fancy clothes. Oh no those neighbors might as well be paupers cosplaying as rich compared to these people.

The other thing that I need to tell you is this: the children of the rich are walking pharmacies. All the party drugs normal people go to jail for "abusing" yeah these kids have a script even if the medications don't make sense to prescribe together.

One of the most radicalizing moments in my time there was:

I had one call with a RICH person and let them know their elective rhinoplasty and boob job for their wife was covered with no deductible. The plan they were on was like $250 a month, for a billionaire, for the whole family.

Right after that call I had to tell a young woman that her medically necessary abortion would not be covered.

Walking out of that job was not difficult. Keep in mind, the call center reps have no control over what insurance will and will not pay for. They cannot "do you favors" and push a claim in faster. I have plenty of stories from my time there, from people loosing their minds to actual threats to completely incompetent supervisors. But the thing that stuck with me the most is that the unfairness and corruption is baked into insurance from the start.

It's designed to keep/make you as poor as possible

Let's collectively reflect on why Luigi's alleged manifesto has not been publicly released and why every other mass murderer and school shooter has their manifesto released within days.

Let's reflect on the manifestos that have been posted on reddit yet they are censoring there and across the news media.

This is a class war and they're censoring information to keep influence in their favor.

The life on the road is difficult, but not without its rewards. One is picking up horny hitchhikers like you and using your body as payment for the ride, usually more than once.

Start the clock before 1960. Workers had riots about wage stagnation in 1940s when the war boosted the economy (and the corporate/factory/big business pockets, and not the wages of the worker. The real crime, though, is the lack of an income cap or company reserve fund. The businesses that needed to be bailed out over and over have made truckloads more money than we handed them for free, teaching them they can continue to hoard not just our individual wealth but the wealth of the country and so they did it harder. If the bubble bursts it won't be their problem. It should be, though.
