Megyn Kelly should of course NOT be fed into a wood chipper feet first for the crime of advocating for child predators. That would be over the top.
But I don't expect I'd ever place myself between Megyn and someone who DID think she deserved to be fed into a wood chipper. That's not my business.

I get it, but that's how death works and it's why it's extraordinarily important to embrace those you love while they're around. This is ALL WE GET, even if some dipshits in a tech incubator are trying to sell you a workaround.

From Ludlow to Haymarket to Flint, the 20th Century gave us the 40-hour week, discretionary income and ultimately the American middle class. We will accept the slide back into subsistence poverty or we will have to fight the 20th Century all over again.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
