Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If you can hold the entire economy hostage, you’re not getting paid enough.
Yeah people really quick to blame essential workers.
100k a year? What a joke. Unless you already bought, you are never gonna get a house near a major docks with that salary.
All workers really.
When the extremely wealthy hold the economy hostage it's the "invisible hand of the free market" and when labor holds the economy hostage they're selfish and greedy free loaders. Really sad how that happens.
We’re out here with the highest wealth inequality ever seen and you’re mad that a few folks actually have enough power to demand their fair share? Fuck off you 0.1% apologist.
A 77% increase over 6 years is 9.15% per year, which is quite good, but I don't think it's unreasonable.
Especially considering inflation will eat half of it.
You think thats bad, wait until you hear about the shareholders. They dont even have to pretend to work and they'll be paid far more for their lack of trouble. The shareholders have had well in excess of a 77% pay rise and, despite that, want even more.
Crazy right? I bet that's got you really annoyed, considering those are worse than the exact thing you were complaining about above....
Right?
This attitude lack of understanding and general mindset are all that is wrong with humanity. You should be ashamed of yourself but we all know you’re not.
Agreed! This UNION is so Unreasonable! All they want is a couple Hundred Million Dollars more to buy a new Jet! Sorry I was thinking of the CEO, the UNION is the Problem!
This guy would walk into a contract negotiation, see they are giving out pretzels. Sit down, anxiously waiting for a pretzel, and say, "anything you want just let me have a pretzel already!"
We don't allow ableist slurs. The rest of the comment is on point though.
