The boss wants to sit down with us troublemakers, and we figure we might as well. It's not going to sway us from our goal, if anything, it will be another chance to slap the boss around again.

Actually I have to say that when I tried to unionize my office togheter with some collegues (we were in the very early stages of trying to figure what we needed to do), the manager requested a meeting with all of us "troublemakers" (only the ones they knew where getting involved in lamenting the low wages) and I have to say that (after a group meeting and some individual meetings) they succeeded in stopping, at least for the time, the "energy" of the movement. Some people just didn't feel anymore like "risking" it.

So, I guess my suggestion is to be careful about who goes in what meeting, especially in the very early stages, because some people might chicken out, and then other people might see those people and feel like unionizing is going too far.

Because of this, we had to stop at getting a small wage increase for our team alone, and now, only after a year, is some of that energy, to do something about the wage and the workplace, coming back.

I just played the demo for Monster Train 2 for the first time (yeah, I'm kind of late, the demo's been out for a while) and I have to say that i like what i see !
(I added "almost" in the title because the full game is not out yet. It's coming out on May 21)

I played the first game quite a bit and i had a lot of fun with it.
What's the popular opinion about Monster Train on Hexbear ? How many people actually played it ?

specter

@DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml doesn't know they are already in a communist country !

Jokes aside, in Brussels there are so many homeless people (I think the most I've seen in an European capital) and, outside of the city center, I've found so many trash bags on the streets. Have they not invented bins here yet ?

Talking about nice things, there are so many red brick building, that's cool, I like them.

Click and hold on the center of the video, then click "save".

But it doesn't let you download every video for some reason.

Just in time for the far-right party afd to win.
I think I saw they are trending very well in polls and Elon Musk wants to intervene in the election campaign to make them win.

I guess let's see what happens but it's looking really bad.

Quoting the article:

“No American should face homelessness, and the Biden-Harris Administration is committed to ensuring every family has access to the affordable, safe, and quality housing they deserve,” HUD Agency Head Adrianne Todman said in a statement, adding that the focus should remain on “evidence-based efforts to prevent and end homelessness.”

Have they forgotten that the Biden-Harris Administration was (and still is), the one in charge ?
How does such an increase in homelessness show the commitment they said they have on fixing this issue ? It obviusly shows the opposite, that they don't care about it.

Is this really where journalism is at !?

Just to make things more clear for people, this is about subcontractors, employed by what looks to be a local building company that is making a new factory for BYD EVs.

I think the article's title really makes it look like BYD is the one withholding passports and wages, but actually they are not and inside the article they say BYD has already asked the subcontractor to improve working conditions before it became news, but they didn't comply.

The article doesn't specify how much BYD's executives knew or if they had the ability to change things by their own choise.

Yes, i think there is a panel where it tells you that some worker for a 3 room apartment pays 10% of their salary. Then they show you a standard 3 room apartment and while going through it I was so surprised because I would never be able to afford anything even close to it.

But all the museum is about how people where oppressed and poor !?

Found at the DDR museum in Berlin. Apparently making childrens play with each other is communist propaganda.

While some parts of this could be seen as a bailout to some of the companies, it is also true that they are building houses for people that already bought them. According to the article they will also cut interest rates on mortgages, which is good for people with a difficult financial situation and "On Saturday, finance ministry officials also announced measures to prop up the property sector, allowing local governments to use funds from special bonds to buy unsold homes and idle land." This seems to also be a good development as the government itself takes back control of some of its land. Instead of a bailout where the government buys debt, they are buying houses and land (that, according to the article, has gone down in price) which is obviously much better.
