@CapitalOneCafe You sent me a new debit card recently, and now I can't get cashback from the grocery store. This is after you closed EVERY location on Staten Island. What kind of scam makes it impossible for customers to get cash w/o fees?

In my first piece for @nybooks: Restoring the promise of US labor law requires amending the NLRA to override unfair court precedent and reassert the NLRB’s supremacy over judges on routine enforcement of labor violations.
