if Biden changed the TSA liquid thing and did a PSA where stars like Chris Pratt bring a giant Cerave face wash bottle in carry on bags, it certainly wouldn’t hurt him

The machine you work with has to be oiled; you have to be fed; the wage is your lubricant, it keeps you in working order, and so you toil and sweat and groan and reproduce yourself in the form of labor power, and then you pass away like a silk worm that spins its task and dies.

Anytime something morally simple happens in the world, people who want to ride Trump’s coattails are left to wonder whether Trump is corrupted or depraved enough to be on the wrong side of it, and it creates some awkwardness.

Isn't the scariest possibility that there won't be any collapse, revolution, slide into dystopia, but that you'll simply live through another five decades of a new Call of Duty game every year, iPhones getting bigger & smaller, pop stars rotating through 70s 80s and 90s nostalgia

In elementary school my team lost unfairly in a game of dodgeball because the other side hit our last man standing in the head and I challenged it and our PE teacher said “In a year you won’t remember this game” and I said “What’s the date?” and he said “April 11th.” Here we are.

Union UPS driver here. We deliver Prime all day. Amazon can offer the same services without killing their workers by hiring more of them, which a union could force them to do.
Telling consumers they’ll have to wait 7x as long for union delivery just sounds like Amazon propaganda

When you think about the balance of power in America, consider the fact that Amazon only finds it necessary to spend about 0.001% of its market value to keep the entire federal government at bay

Facebook is now the biggest-spending federal lobbyist, with Amazon a close second.

Among the essential institutions of class rule is the jail, the prison. The capitalist system could far better spare its national congress and its state legislatures than its county jails and prisons.

Outsource and outspend and outflank the working class, then point to the little they have left, their religious convictions, their few possessions, their way of life, as the reason they are unhappy and disgruntled. The essence of victim blaming is a refusal to look in the mirror.

when Amazon steals $62 million from its employees it's "misrepresenting drivers' tips", when Amazon employees steal $130,000 of products from Amazon it's a "theft ring"
