Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The willow is too close to the house.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

Giving up is unforgivable.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Organized Labor in America

by | 5 Comments

This post is in: 

Briefly:

I am running a series on organized labor in America over at The League. A number of guest authors are contributing (though I am looking for more). The first post in the series is live today. It’s by mutualist writer, Kevin Carson, author of Homebrew Revolution. He talks about the ways the government has suppressed labor in this country going back to Taft-Hartley and FDR, and suggests ways that unions can operate today given the laws we have in place. It’s worth a read.

I also have a slightly updated version of my Death and Life of the Great American Middle Class piece up at The League (added some links and graphs/pics to the post mainly).

More posts in the Organized Labor in America series will appear in the coming days, and if anyone is interested in submitting a post for the series, shoot me an email.

    Does anybody have any good links to articles regarding labor unions in Germany?

    My understanding is that labor enjoys greater power and prestige vs. capital there than it does in the US, and is treated as a true partner in managing the corporation, yet this doesn’t seem to have hurt their manufacturing sector (to put it mildly). A comparative analysis of the position, influence and struggle of unions in the US vs. in other OECD countries would be helpful and Germany seems like a good place to start, but I’m not an expert in this area.

    Keep up the good work E.D. These posts are very helpful in educating what unions actually mean in terms of their check on unfettered capitalism and there role in the marketplace.
