We fought hard for this contract because we love our jobs. And now, thanks to our members and support from our siblings at #NYGuild, #NewsGuild, CODE-CWA, CWA District 1, the New York City Central Labor Council, New York State AFL-CIO and all of YOU, we have a historic deal.

Brutal takedown by @pluralistic of the prepper mindset that has infected many.

The world has a collective action problem, and this for many issues (large and small). We've been individualized to the core, and this is indeed reductive. Societies of people are more than the sum of their parts. This historical truth of solidarity is consistently denied and leveraged by the select few for their personal gain.

Long thread/6

Bosses are Bizarro-world Marxists. Like Marxists, your boss's worldview is organized around the principle that every dollar you take home in wages is a dollar that isn't available for executive bonuses, stock buybacks or dividends. That's why you boss is insatiably horny for firing you and replacing you with software. Software is cheaper, and it doesn't advocate for higher wages.
