  • US and EU comrades should see Argentina as a warning for what is going to happen in their countries.

  • That's not anything over 8 hours being overtime. I can work three 12 hour days and not get overtime if I work three hours another day.

    I once had a (non-union, no less!) job where every day where 8 hours was surpassed, everything over that was overtime, regardless of whether there were 50 hours worked a week or 32.

  • You are responsible for the bill, period, unless you get a grant or judgement in your favor. Or gofundme.

  • I'm seeing a salient parallel between the USA and Erdogan's reshaping of Turkiye, although Turkiye seems to get eight paid holidays and an additional six, after a year employment with a company.

  • the reason we chant “Slava Ukraini!” is because the US’s share of LNG shipments to Europe rose from 5% pre-war to 27% now and still climbing.

    OMG. Zalinsky is between a mortar shell and an exploding pager for this. I want to laugh and cry simultaneously. What is he getting out of it, if he survives?

  • This is an excellent post, and reminds me of when I asked here, of how did Che and Fidel get wealthy donors to finance the revolution, and was basically told they didn't say they were fighting for communism at the time.

  • One of the great forgotten classics of the twentieth century is Vance Packard’s 1960 book The Waste Makers, which anticipates our era of consumerism with an almost haunting prescience. Modern economies, it argues, both create wants and fulfill them, in order to make a throwaway culture. It's a process that neatly frames the mindset to empty the wallet. Packard notes that the postwar economy, humming on a hair trigger, was akin to a runaway train where the only way to keep the wheels turning was by forcing people to buy things they did not need with money they did not have. The game plan was to manufacture products that were designed to fail, the so-called planned obsolescence; then, through advertising, instill a psychology of obsolescence in which people were made to feel ashamed of their outdated possessions. This two-pronged strategy became the corporate solution.

    Ed Bernays shares some no small part of guilt in this with his psyop marketing techniques. His so-called "torches of freedom" got women hooked on smoking, paying for the privilege of slow, gruesome suicide. Also, clothing were no longer marketed on quality cuts and long lasting, breathable, moisture wicking natural fabrics, but on "self expression." And I'm fine with that but quality began deteriorating about the same time.

    I would, however, be interested to know whose idea pink-taxing was. Why do I have to pay as much for tailoring a two-piece suit to fit my height and shape as the suit itself, which isn't inexpensive off the rack, and between the two, while not being in the same price point as haute couture, still cost several months' salary, even when I'm fully employed, while a man's equal quality three-piece is tailored as part of the cost of the suit?

  • Or worse, this is the oil that was stolen from the oil tankers in the Caribbean that were heading to Cuba.

    That's my guess. I really hope Madam Acting President isn't doing wrong.
