Today’s headline US Senate committee clears Boeing lawyer’s stalled NLRB nomination marks almost exactly 51 weeks since the Democrats alley-ooped the NLRB to the Republicans for a slam dunk. Here’s a reminder of how that happened (under Biden, too). Republicans keep swallowing political institutions whole in the U.S., and anyone who has their faith placed in the Democrats must be completely delusional, especially after the recent government shutdown disgrace.

I would say that now the U.S. is officially under corporate control (yes, I know it was before but I mean now it’s legally locked down), what with the NLRB and Supreme Court in the Republicans’ pocket. Labor doesn’t stand a chance anymore.

… Prove me wrong???

    WAAAAAAHHHHH THERE’S INFLATION WAAAAAHHH THERE’S INFLATION

    How centrists phrase people not being able to afford food.

    What he did was the break the strike, then had his refurbished NLRB keep working the issue after no one was paying attention and get the rail workers a lot of what they were asking for anyway

    What the workers got was the deal they rejected, forced on them.

    Why do you think he hates workers?

    Because I don’t buy “behind the scenes” lies from people who call betrayal a win for workers.
