Can you provide me some more information about this? Because you made it sound like Biden was sitting in the Oval Office rubbing his hands together, waiting to tell these workers to get fucked, which IS disingenuous, when the OBEW themselves have issues this statement. I'm not a rail worker, they are, I'm going to listen to what they're telling me about their experience.

Unless that's you, you're an IBEW worker affected by this deal, I'm not gonna do a 'trust me bro' on this.

Biden got the rail workers what they asked for, this isn't quite right.

"We’re thankful that the Biden administration played the long game on sick days and stuck with us for months after Congress imposed our updated national agreement,” Russo said. “Without making a big show of it, Joe Biden and members of his administration in the Transportation and Labor departments have been working continuously to get guaranteed paid sick days for all railroad workers."

You might be surprised! This type of change is usually automated and centralized, so an administrator shouldn't ever have to even touch any of those Chromebooks. Might be worth having a chat with your school administrators.

You know you can use the word 'gamer' on the Internet? Why would you come into this thread and wish other people to be unhappy about a hobby they like?

Can you link me some reading material about this?

we literally suffered 9/11 because of Israel

I've never once heard Israel come up in the story of 9/11

Look stranger, no one is saying you're wrong to call out the problems with the economy. Everyone is on your side there.

They're saying that you personally made a mistake, and that's one that other people can and should avoid for themselves. If after 45 years you REALLY TRULY only have like $2k USD in your retirement account then you messed up somewhere. That's almost impossible the way compounding interest works.

Many 401ks are not actually invested by default, it's up to the account holder to assign those funds themselves. Guessing that's what happened to you. Unfortunately this isn't widely known for some reason and companies don't bother to educate employees about it.

If you'd like to read it (and almost any other article) without paying I'd recommend this:

Unrelated tangent, but I would urge you to suggest to your wife that she shop at other places. Shein is among the worst companies on earth in terms of the scale of their pollution.

Additionally, "a documentary by the U.K.’s Channel 4 found that Shein employees were working 75-hour shifts with very little time off."

Fast fashion is pretty gross.

Actually the source is Axios, and the headline is not wrong even if it is from an obviously biased organization. You can see the original coverage of it here:

I don't think the issue is them "dealing with the problem", they've been doing exactly that, which has been reported on repeatedly since these shenanigans started. Remember Martha's Vineyard? NY/CHI/etc are upset because Texas is not communicating any of their actions to them, and misleading (trafficking) the migrants under false pretenses. I don't know how you can be on Texas's side here...

This is correct, and everyone who is "disappointed in Michigan" should really try harder to understand the laws they're talking about. The party primaries here are not under the authority of the state, the court was just following the rules.

The court has however left the door open and is willing to hear this case regarding the general election ballot, which is under the state's purview. I suspect they will rule against Trump personally but this is just rage bait for the moment.

How far do you take this perspective? As a lefty that doesn't sound like a very leftist take, rather it sort of completely eschews the principles of solidarity and reason-based argumentation...

I do agree that feminism is about helping women (and that's great!), but should mothers not advocate for better mental health resources for their sons? Should I not advocate for better access to birth control for the women in my life because I'm male or for Ukrainian liberty because I'm not Ukrainian? Denying someone access to public discourse about a topic because they're not suffering the consequences of the topic seems a bit silly to me. And of course, men do actually suffer under patriarchy, albeit in a different way than women obviously.
