Oligarchs know politics is about power, and they know strong unions don’t just deliver better wages and benefits for their members ... Unions also build the kind of real democratic power—for all of us, not just union members—that keeps oligarchs in check.

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days.
The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years.
‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades.
So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?
