It was always a bad name. Then covid happened, a crapload of people suddenly became aware of their working conditions and had an immediate reason to look at labor practices in general.... and a flood of liberals and conservatives who just wanted to gripe about their lousy jobs showed up. Most people did not use it to organize or learn. It's a shame, a lot of wasted potential.

The "good" news is the exploitation remains, so there will be more chances

Yeah but government financial support has run out. Corporations will be getting the upper hand again this year. Democrats squandered two years and the best they could come up with was a child tax credit.

I cant wait for Niel Young to get cancled when the libs discover this song

Chris Brown is still on Spotify too! And David Bowie and Jimmy Page and the list goes on and on, until eventually we all just go back to 'obtaining' the music on our own

I won't give up. There's still signs the awareness remains in some. Starbucks workers organizing, for example. And I think the Amazon workers get another pass at it in Bessemer soon, iirc

Starbucks raises prices because of inflation and supply chain breakdown while making 20% more profit in 2021

That's kind of the scenario I am hoping for, as I do not have any faith in our political process at all anymore

I don't think it will really get started until trucks stop shipping goods and shelves are empty, the old no revolution on a full stomach thing

unfortunately I think the smartest people on the planet agree... and so they are starting the apocalypse so they can use it to take control of the world instead of letting it happen naturally letting John Connor can rally the people.

Yeah, that's not the one I am hoping for but it's kind of the one I suspect is coming. All them rich folks building compounds and using access to food and water for the families of their security personnel armies in line while the rest of us duke it out over scraps
