We now live in a wannabe principality, but it is really an autocracy run by an oligarchies under the guise of what we think is a democracy. It is all about the money and how it buys power through government, which can make laws or can get rid of laws and so they can gain more money and power.
For people who still will need to work and are lucky to have a union, they need to understand that the GOP government is hellbent to destroy the unions for they still have some power in membership and money. At this time the government wants to get new laws that prohibit unions and street protests. If the GOP can neuter the unions, they will control the people.
There will only be gig jobs with no living wage, no benefits, such as healthcare, or pensions. The workers will be a wage slave working and living hand to mouth and just one job away from the street or one sickness away from bankruptcy. Even people with pensions and healthcare are seeing their pensions stay the same amount while the cost of living goes up, like fuel, energy bills and food.
Then healthcare is dropping their payments to where providers will not take their insurances payments. One physician charges $70 for an appointment, but the insurance will only pay $23 so she stopped taking that insurance. How are doctors to pay their employees and provide for their own families by taking a fraction of the amount.
Guns and god are ok, but you can’t eat them or pay your bills with them. There is the Have Nots, Have Littles, and Used to Haves, which one are you? Where are you? If you still have a good job, which might be union with benefits, how are you going to protect what you got? Voting for the GOP sure as hell won’t do you any good. Remember the GOP is against Social Security, Medicare, unions, minimum wage, healthcare, reproductive rights, all labor laws, environmental laws, anything that makes life easier and better for the 99 percent of us.
At this time, the U.S. Supreme Court is decimating labor laws and making laws where we will not even be able to protest on the streets. Something the International Workers of the World fought, died and eventually won in the free speech fight years ago.
The 2020 election could be the end to our country as we know it today unless all retirees and workers stand together and vote for what is right to save our jobs, create new jobs and ensure our benefits are safe, and not the corporations, big mega churches and Wall Street.
It is the 99 percent of the time to win. The 1 percent have more than enough.
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...
