A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

This is just how things worked back when unions were in the equation. If you sold TVs or drove a truck for a living, you got a house. If you had a good job, you had a house like this and basically everything you wanted.
We traded that life for a few hundred people having yachts instead.
Union membership in the US was at 16% in 1991. Obviously that's better than today's 10%, but that spread is hardly big enough to be the difference between the presumed worker's paradise of the early '90s and the dystopian nightmare of 2025.
Thing is, you don't even have to be in a union to get the benefit of other industries having them. They raise the bar for everyone.
I'm a Teamster - you don't have to sell me on unions.
