Capitalism *intentionally* eradicated common land to profitize all human needs, including shelter/housing. Thus, its foundation is literally forced homelessness, which it uses as a coercive mechanism to compel the masses to sell our bodies/labor to capitalists to survive.

At 10am, as a direct response to the company's refusal to bargain, and their escalation of retaliation & unilateral changes, union workers at the Convention Center BV launched our first ULP strike of the year. The company's HR has racked up 8 ULPs so far. gofund.me/3c76c5fd

Good to see the labor movement in this country getting back to its roots
Two buff doges. The left is workers then saying “they’re trying to break our strike. But we’ll fight them in the streets and burn down the factory if we have to.” The right is workers now saying “there’s a lot of ways to lose a house”

An old bald man with a long beard says "in solidarity with the writers and actors, ol' Jimmy's going on strike." He holds up a sign that says "Ol' Jimmy has had enough!" A group of arrogant businessmen give each other derisive looks. One says "pfft, we can easily get along without Ol' Jimmy." 2 months later, the businessmen are begging in front of a stalwart Ol' Jimmy. One says "please Ol' Jimmy, come back. We'll agree to anything!" Ol' Jimmy confidently says "well well well, looks like Ol' Jimmy holds all the cards."

Dropping rents are good actually.
CNN: "Remote work risks wiping $800 billion from the value of office buildings in major cities worldwide by 2030 as the post-pandemic trend pushes up office vacancy rates and drives down rents, according to a new report" graybox1313: "This idea that wealthy land owners aren't allowed to lose money ever and that somehow regular people need to make this their problem and bend over backwards to secure these profit margins for them is old fashioned and tired. Your property valuations aren't my problem. Hope you get ruined actually."

When legislators say they're fine with children being raped and forced to give worth, there is nothing else worth debating or voting on. They should not be treated as legitimate lawmakers, nor regular people, to be frank. We cannot and must not continue with this status quo.
Iowa Starting Line@IAStartingLine11 Jul 2023
WATCH: During the Iowa House debate on the new abortion ban bill, Rep. Timi Brown-Powers (D-Waterloo) tries to add an amendment to exempt children from being forced to give birth. Iowa Republicans vote it down.

Laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic-ethnic group in a given nation. It’s just the promise of violence that’s enacted, and the police are basically an occupying army. You know what I mean?” - Brian Lee Mulligan

Fun fact abortion bans in the United States got started due to the declining birthrate of white people in the early 20th century, fuck the Iowa legislature for continuing this tradition among the other anti choice reasons Fuck white supremacy
