No. That's fine. But also, if anyone knows where I can contribute to make up the wages of workers who can't afford to take the day off, lmk.

When are we striking and what are we doing to support workers without paid leave?

Once more for the people in the back:

You cannot commit "violence" against property. Violence is harming bodies.

FOH with your "Won't someone think of the billionaires!" Google gonna be just fine, bruh.

I don’t know whether you’re willing to have a conversation. Think about the ways a negative income tax is better than a minimum wage.
- can target households (my teenagers don’t need a living wage)
- no dead weight loss (driving down employment)
- shifts the burden onto all of us, not just employers

Not angry, but I do believe the EITC is a better method for helping low wage workers.

We all should have an opportunity to be betrayed by the Republicans and radicalized.

Cops who stand up and refuse to follow illegal orders are fucking heroes and will be remembered.

What can the rest of us do to support them? Are there legal defense funds for hero cops?
