He followed Glenn Greenwald down the "I feel like people don't respect my leftism enough, so I'm gonna join the alt-right" path

As I literally sit here in the cafeteria on my day off rallying for our upcoming union vote 💪

"We need to see pain in the economy"

"There's been a systematic change where employees feel the employer is extremely lucky to have them"

"claimed that shift is hitting productivity in the sector"

This attitude is an actual mental illness. Productivity is killing us, killing our climate. What we need is LESS PRODUCTIVITY and more leisure, more time to care for one another, focus on food production, distribution, healthcare, and education, things that involve taking care of other humans. Why should everyone everywhere forever have to live on the razor's edge of their ability to keep up with life?

"Women are specifically stating that the direct reason they're choosing to delay pregnancy is the fall of Roe creating emergency health concerns."

"I dunno, are you sure you can believe what women say? Did you check the "real" data?"

Am nurse. Can confirm. Scrubs is right about a LOT of things

They think they do. No amount of money will protect a person from the collapse of a civilization. Never has, never will. Their plans are very much predicated on the assumption that markets will somehow magically continue to function after the general populace has lost all faith in them

The pandemic IS over. Covid has become an endemic virus just like we always expected it to.

You ever try to draw from a syringe while you're hypotensive, gasping for breath, and panicking as you're about to pass out? That's the primary innovation of the epi-pen. Remove cap, stab through clothes, press button.

Granted, syringe and vial would be better than not having epinephrine though.

I'm a nepo buyer ✋

My American Boomer parents view helping my sister and I out with things like this as a legal early inheritance transfer to make up for how long we expect their lives to go on. In that way, this isn't really different from being able to buy things because you received an actual inheritance after your parents died.

The problem isn't the people who are able to do this. The problem is that other people for generations have been systematically robbed from also being able to do this. We should have government programs to provide this service for those people to make up for that generational theft.

Also: Jesus, Canada, build some fucking housing what the fuck. I knew it was bad, but I assumed it was on par with the US.

Oh, so NOW the feds have a problem with secret corporate ownership.

Maybe let's do something to limit the onshore tax havens in Delaware, Wyoming, Nevada....

He might not look like much, but the man delivers even in the face of Republican obstruction.

"Biden has assembled the most impressive legislative record of any president since Lyndon Johnson. Drawing on his decades of experience, Biden deftly navigated a 50-50 Senate to pass a historic bipartisan infrastructure bill, generational investments in clean energy and semiconductor manufacturing, the first gun safety law in almost 30 years, a bill codifying same-sex marriage, a bill aiding veterans who suffered health effects from burn pits and an electoral reform to prevent a repeat of Trump’s attempt to use Congress to undermine the election. And that’s all without mentioning the nomination and confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman to ever sit on the Supreme Court."

Now if we can get the Senate on lock and regain the House, we'll actually get a lot of serious work done

It's different for doctors and nurses. We have moral and legal obligations to our patients. Giving an end date is often the first attempt. Indefinite strike is always an option that can be deployed later, if necessary.

Plus we're always in a precarious situation with the public. It's easy for a doctor's strike to lose public support, which results in things like strike breaking laws being passed.

There are different ways of striking that can be effective.
