I worked for a company that offered paid sick leave. We were told for each day we used we would lose a certain percentage of our next wage adjustment. The corporations giveth and the corporations taketh away. They later converted our retirement plan into a simple annuity that offered no inflation adjustments. This was all done one-sided. I'm cheering for union successes.

Today in the differences between Democrats and Rethuglicans:

Democrats--Worked to avoid a national rail strike, reduce college indebtedness

Rethuglicans--Worked to deny women bodily autonomy, prevent people they dislike from voting

Tell me again why the GQP deserve to be put in control of Congress.

BÖC used to play as SoftWhite Underbelly when they were working out new material (so they could play smaller joints), but you probably already knew that.
