Anyone ready for H5N1 avian flu boogaloo

True…but big business still needs us to buy their products, so we are of some use to them

Pretty soon this will be like a school shooting, hardly making the news and no one cares

It hurts him because he knows it is true

They don’t call his supporters white trash for nothing

I wonder if the Senate will do the whole trial part and make the House GOP present what they think is evidence?

That’s what I was thinking… Here come the bots

Fox “News” doesn’t even have to roll out the ever terrifying “migrant caravan” this election season.

I’m sure government agencies buy commercially available products all the time. The problem is that we are no longer just consumers in the market, we are also unwillingly the product.

I might have gotten that if I had my glasses on.

I’ll see the same post on 2 or 3 subs and it will just be something I saw a year or more ago.

I guess there is good and bad with either style. I generally prefer the self checkout because I can bag my own stuff

True. I remember thinking it was a load of crap, but it certainly got the message across that I’d be alone and out of a job if I tried to form a union.

And I also remember lessons in class where the textbook weren’t l went into great detail about the corruption and mob ties of some unions, but very little about anything positive. There has definitely been an effort on the part of powerful folks to denigrate unions.

I remember reading The Jungle in college and getting a much different perspective of labor laws and union value

Depending on where you lived you were plied with anti-union rhetoric. I remember back in the '80s and working at a department store and they had us watch “training” videos about how we were a big family and how unions broke up that family and made us adversaries. I thought it was a bunch of bull, but I’m sure there were plenty of folks that bought into it.

We are likely going to see a rise in infant and maternal mortality rates as well. Most of the states that outright banned abortion are also ones where they didn’t expand Medicaid and have fewer hospitals

The phone companies have been selling our data for their own profit for years now. We are not just the consumers anymore, we are also the product

I am realistic enough to know that if a cease fire was established it would likely not last long.

Medicaid programs are mostly controlled by the individual states and not the federal government. Here they are blaming Biden when it is the state governors that are causing the problem. No doubt if Biden did something, they would have just written an article blaming him for federal overreach.

Developers won’t do it though. Otherwise, we’d already have this happening. What they do now is call it a loss and get a break on their taxes.

They are on the wrong sides of the bottle
