To Save The World & Ourselves

To save the world from itself there needs to be less greed, which would lessen wage and life inequality. Less greed would curtail climate change, which would save our farming land and farmers of the world. As the rains leave a region, the people leave the land and travel to cities and other countries looking for relief. This is what happened to a lot of the Syrian people. Then we need to expose and understand the ideology of radical religion and how it controls the masses and who benefits from it and why it works. When refugees have moved to another country, many times those refugees are segregated to a specific area and not given opportunities to assimilate by being hired for jobs or other ways to better their lives. The young people become discouraged and are more susceptible to the allure of fanatical groups, like Daesh, to feel like their lives matter. Unfortunately, these groups use these young idealists as fodder for their machine. Their lives are not valued by these groups any more than the countries they left. The masses must understand the capitalist system and what drives it, which is spending, at 67 to 70 percent, and is driven by greed. The corporate greed is also the result of the decline of unions, which has driven down wages, pensions, and the training of apprenticeship workers, which has dumbed down the trades. All of these things are coming together, which is exasperating the demise of our world and countries as we have known them. For example, large corporate construction companies hired undocumented workers to build their housing developments, bypassing the skilled union workers. Today, those undocumented workers are returning to their home countries and leaving a gap in qualified workers to build the corporate housing developments. The only way out of most of this current situation will be people-driven. Will we elect educated leaders who will have the support of the proletarians in getting changes and laws that will correct the path our world is currently on. We, in the U.S., need a minimum wage of $15 to $18 an hour, single payer healthcare, an end to our endless wars and getting our greedy corporations out of countries where they exploit their people and raping and pillaging those countries’ resources while leaving nothing but the cleanup. These corporations hoard the money in tax havens and spend it here in the U.S., leaving the countries they’ve plundered to figure out how to care for their people on their own. Our country would not tolerate other countries’ corporations coming into our country and running amok so why should we get upset when the people of other countries’ rebel against U.S. corporations ruining their counties and stealing their resources? Consider the U.S. and Canadian companies meeting resistance from the people in El Salvador, Argentina, Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador, as the companies try to ravage their country sides for its resources, such as gold.

It's Time To Pick A Side

It’s time to pick a side. You want to have and keep unions with good wages and pensions, then it’s time to pick a side. You want to keep Social Security for yourself and family, it is time to pick a side. You want to get or keep Medicare and Obama’s Affordable Care Act, then it’s time to pick a side. It is us against the billionaires. The very rich got that way off the backs of workers, and now want to strip everything away from those workers. It’s time to pick a side. The very rich can buy countries, then make the people get on their hands and knees and grovel and beg for scrapes that usually go into the dumpster. It’s time to pick a side. Is this what we want for our family and our future? It’s time to pick a side. Get ready to fight for you and your families’ lives. There is no middle ground with these greedy people for they want it all—all the money—all the power—all the land so where does this leave us when they have all the commons, like water, land and airways? It’s time to pick...

Time for an Offense

There are three phases of a general strike and unions must plan for one. Those three phases are: 1. general strike in an industry 2. general strike in a community 3. general national strike We need to move away from being on the defensive and move toward a good offensive. The American Federal of Labor (AFL) could not have held a general strike if it wanted to because they had thousands of different contracts that expired at different times of the year. This was done deliberately so that there is no consolidation of power for a general strike. Also, nowadays, there is no law agency that will support labor, except the National Labor Relations Board (NLBR), which has been under attack and in decline for years. This leaves the burden of change up to unions, and unless unions work together, little will change. We essentially have a combination of job trusts, which are not as strong as contracts, and the courts can break easily because the NLBR will be further weakened and essentially elim...

Senator Bernie Sanders & Team

The AFL is with Senator Bernie Sanders and it is the people’s only chance to push back against Elon Musk, who wants to dismantle our government. Musk family is said to have left South Africa because they could no longer exploit The native/black Africans so he bought Trump and now he’s laying waste to America in the name of progress. With Senator Sanders’ leadership and backing of all labor unions, we could put together the whole of 99 percent of the people and beat back the 2 percent destroying we what once had and stood for while also saving Social Security, healthcare for all, elder care, child care, while working on the climate change crisis (we are running out of time, as the weather is showing us). The workers need to go big, such as a four-day work week like other countries have; universal basic income (UBI) and Medicare for all for unhoused people, which would help get them off the streets. UBI goes right back into the local economies, which supports jobs for the other working p...
