I agree. What’s the long plan on this accumulation of wealth?? It’s not like people wake up one day and say, hey, I wanna go live out on the streets, from here on out…They simply can’t afford to have a roof over their heads, & people act like its all because they don’t work hard enough or they are on drugs. Not true. Usually get on drugs after being down and out for so long to drown out the emptiness and suffering that has been overwhelming for them all. What do they want us all to do????? What’s the plan. Gates communities, everyone else roaming around the cities. It’s sickening to see these billionaires have no empathy.

Government should be afraid of the people not the people afraid of the government! Ladies you want to know why republicans struck down Roe vs Wade? Red States and republicans have been passing weakened laws for child labor. Letting kids do dangerous jobs for half the pay of adults and many have died. When public school is abolished and poor people can't pay for charter schools corporations will have all the cheap child labor they want! We will be a 3rd world country like China and countries in Africa and Asia. READ "Agenda 47" what they have planned is a nightmare for our children and grandchildren!

@@Silver-jv1us "Taylor is articulating the Patriotic Millionaires’ core message: a rigged economy is bad for everyone. The destabilizing effects of this rigging have left an entire nation feeling insecure and vulnerable. That insecurity often starts as malaise but morphs into something altogether unbearable as time goes on. Even as macroeconomic indicators show an indisputably rosy picture, it’s clear that workers themselves don’t feel like they’re experiencing economic boom times. On the contrary, they feel more squeezed than ever. We are beginning to see the status quo buckle under the combined pressure of crippling inequality and a fundamentally rigged economy. The effects are all around us: extreme politics are on the rise, xenophobic scapegoating is rampant, and our institutions are in a state of utter paralysis, incapable of meeting the moment (or worse, co-opted by oligarchs). But there is reason to be hopeful. The insecurity workers are experiencing - so incisively described by Taylor - has triggered an immune response in our body politic: organized labor is striking back." patrioticmillionaires.org/2023/08/24/economic-anxiety-and-the-labor-immune-response/

Donations to politicians needs to be banned. Also a publically funded fund needs to be set up for campaigns. I think political campaigns is something that tax money should be spend on. Also if tax money is spend like water during campaigns maybe it might raise a few eyebrows. Instead of it being overrich people who have more money than they know what to do with. A speech in the EU recently bashing US democracy said that there is a 2 billion dollar price ticket on the seat of president and I think that is very much true.

My husband voluntarily paid double dues to the UAW because I benefitted from everything the union won for him. Even after retirement, he paid double. The UAW won us a good pension, excellent health care (including help with dental and vision care) and life insurance. The Uaw Retirees' Trust has been spun off as a separate entity, always ready with help for any problems we encounter. I'm afraid younger employees don't have this same level of benefits, but I hope future contracts can win them back, as unions regain strength.

One of my first jobs as a teenager was in a fast food sandwich restaurant. The person hiring me convinced me not to join a union while I was doing the on boarding paperwork. He told me that unions just take a bunch of money from you and don't do anything for you. I was a stupid, ignorant teenager and believed him. Months down the road one of the managers started making unwanted advances. I repeatedly rejected him. Then out of nowhere they started scheduling me during hours that I specified I couldn't work because of school. I told them multiple times those hours didn't work for me. I also stated my availability before they even hired me. Eventually I was fired for not showing up to my sheduled shift repeatedly. At the time, I shrugged it off and accepted that as a normal thing in life. Wish I knew the importance of a union back then.

Channel GodChristLord: Thank you Dr. Reich. As I lived in the upper Midwest, one can see just how advanced and modernized that region is compared to other regions in the United States. Those are places where organized labor and labor unions took root.

Regardless of if the Supreme Court's decision or even it's legitimacy, workers have the power to refuse to work. Or to be the investment risk.

"Labor" is a Cost Line Item on the Quarterly Reports; so corpo's will do anything to eliminate it: The Confederacy was devoted to it, in fact... 💀

It's extraordinary that so many working people actually vote against their own interests, by electing politicians that support the rich getting richer, and policies that erode the welfare of average citizens. In effect, it is the antithesis of democracy.

The French invented a machine in 1789 that fixes this problem in a snap!, or I should say a CHOP 😊

It's not just organized labor you would support but freedom of speech, freedom to assemble and under the constitution, all men are created equal with the inalienable right to the pursuit of happiness. What is your goal as a person of great wealth in our country and world? That is, if this is a legit argument and these are the feelings of Bezos & Musk. Is the interpetation that one mans happiness may be greater than another and ..................? I support the idea that when we want to speak up for an unfair way of life, we are not threatened to be some how punished or deferred from voicing and acting in our interest as a people. I've never been in a union but have a little understanding of it.

How often have you heard a politician say something about getting back to the golden age of the 50's? They mean the 1850's.

STOP critizising MUSK for anything worker rights related: I was emoloyed by Tesla for two years - like my colleagues, WE HAVE NEVER BEFORE earned so much for the position, had much more convenient software and hardware to use than before, EVEN EARNED stock, which made some of us RICH in the meantime, and I've never had such a fair and fun work environment before or after. WORKING AT ANY of Elon Musk's companies IS KNOWN to be much better than anywhere else. STOP THE BULLSH*T!!!

Why do I need to be part of a union? If I don't like my pay, benefits, working environment, etc., I can just find another job. If too many employees are leaving, corporations have no option but to make changes. If employees are staying, that means they accept those conditions. Unions are unnecessary in a free market society.
