What Do The Rich Know?

The billionaires of Silicon Valley and government people are scared and building bunkers and islands in anticipation of society’s collapse. The danger of government people and the very rich having these new 500,000 to 1.5 million bunkers is that they now think they will be safe if and when the big boom drops or the 99 percent comes after them with pitch forks. They may think nuclear war or severe climate change will not effect them and that in the event either of these should occur, they will be better off than the rest of us. These are not just a couple of fringe groups. There is real money behind this movement, hundreds of millions of dollars. These are the richest and smartest people who are probably in the “know” so what do they know that we, poor people, don’t know? Then there are all the so-called rich preppers are buying islands and land in New Zealand. If all government and the 1 percent rich are safe, then do you think they fear earth’s ruin by climate change or a nuclear war with North Korea or Russia, and would these people want to push the button first? There is, at this time, rich people refurbishing 575 munition storage bunkers in South Dakota, a 700-acres $330 million mostly subterranean developments, called Trident Lakes in Ector, Texas, equipped with DefCon 1 preparedness. It will have amenities, like a hotel, an athletic center, a golf course, and a polo fields with 600 condomeniums. People do not spend this kind of money unless there is some type of worry. The 99 percent must keep vigilant or start digging their own holes. What would start this kind of panic? Perhaps taking people’s healthcare, busting all the unions, taking away Social Security, using technology to eliminate jobs, striping pensions away from people, striping people’s voting rights, eliminating the minimum wage, forcing women back into a subservient roles, taking women’s choice away from them, and threatening a country that is in possession of a bomb. If is just the poor with pitchforks, they will have retired Navy S.E.A.L.s or Special Forces just shoot us, which, ironically, we, as taxpayers, paid for their military training. A lot of former military personnel have gone to work for the likes of BlackWater, which became Xe, which became Academi, and were established as a private military company originially founded in 1997 by former Navy S.E.A.L. officer Erik Prince. This is just one of many private military companies. If a bomb drops, these oligarches think they will just ride the consequences out in Trident Lakes and again shoot us if we try to get in. They’ve already said this by hiring their their own army. But what if their army turns against them. I wonder if these people have even thought this possibility since the hired army is already among them with evrything they need so why keep feeding and protecting the spoiled rich? History has shown the private armies work for the most advantagous for the hired hands. Should we all be preparing for the apocalypse?

Union or Project 2025

We have an election in two months, where the hell are the building Trade Unions? Members and organizers should be touting their wages, benefits and seeking out new members and union shops. So far, I’m only hearing crickets. While the Trade Unions sit back, the UAW have been striking and winning big benefits for their members. Then there is the Teamsters, who have taken on the Holy Grail—Amazon, the corporation. Again, just crickets from the Trade Unions. Then there is the Minnesota State model—-we can win more together than we can on our own. So why are all unions not working together? Why are all unions not talking with each other? There are two months left until the election—an election that could conceivably be the death null of unions. If we lose this election to the GOP, Trump and Project 2025, our unions will be destroyed and we’ll be back to the days of trying to make ends meet as the GOP will cut our wages, benefits will be eliminated and there will be nothing we can do abou...

David vs Goliath

Labor’s war is a David vs Goliath fight, but sometimes Goliath wins the battle but ultimately David will win the war, and here is one way it can be done in rural areas. Small towns that sit 40 to 50 miles away from larger cities have power for the low-wage workers have power for the low wage workers have nothing to lose for they have nothing, so they can and should use that nothing, which is a power, for better working conditions, such as good wages, regular working hours, healthcare—maybe even childcare. Employees can withhold their labor or just move. Businesses don’t have that option. So, labor in small towns should stand together for a good minimum wage and benefits. Wages should be $26 per hour. Given the income corporations are raking in today, they can well afford to pay their employees better. Healthcare workers, food workers, house keeping and any worker in town can join the town union (as the UAW has shown) and the unions could be the ones to join: fire, police and country ...

Set Aside Grievances and Vote Blue

International Brotherhood of Teamsters are following the United Auto Workers in making history with the groundbreaking joint employer decision against Amazon. Now, the Longshoremen have gotten a groundbreaking contract, as well. This is very telling on what labor can do if they all pull together. These are some of the best deals in the last 30 years. However, all can be lost in the next election if our members vote for the wrong candidate. It is not hyperbole, but history, to say Republicans hate unions. This election, all must set aside some of the “piss me off” things and vote for the people who will stand up for unions and the working people, union or nonunion. The richest 1 percent have half of the worlds wealth while the rest of us only have 0.75 percent. Since 2020, this 1 percent have taken 63 percent of all the wealth. In the U.S., 800 billionaires have more than half of the nation’s wealth while the bottom half of our families have 2.5 percent. Do you think these rich peop...
