The forgotten dead of the nations that 'realpolitik' devastated are still crying out for justice.

mattstoller.substack.com/p/c…. Read this! Writers aren't just striking for themselves. They are trying to save the industry, and by going after the oligarchs, maybe democracy in the process. @LAANE @WGAWest @adamconover

via @NYTOpinion. Good article. Once again the Fed is undermining worker power using inflation as an excuse. nytimes.com/2023/03/31/opini…

When the Federal Reserve uses interest rate hikes as a blunt tool, American workers are the inevitable casualty.

And back to wages and Powell's argument that the job market is "too strong". The federal minimum wage is still $7.25. Nuff said.
What's worse, is NPR, repeating the assertion like it's a fact. Why aren't we talking about profit margins for major corporations, being too high?! Or check this out theintercept.com/2022/12/12/…

The Pandemic and War — Not Government Spending — Caused Inflation, According to Nobel Prize Winner

A new paper by Joseph Stiglitz and Ira Regmi has huge implications for everything about who holds power in American life.

The Fed continues to blame workers for inflation. This is a lie. Inflation is rising faster than wages, which were and continue to be unsustainably low for most Americans.

Aargh! I am sick of hearing the lie that inflation is connected to wages. Inflation went up faster than wages. Let's talk about corporate profiteering for crying out loud. Exxon's profits the highest ever

NEW: REI workers in California are unionizing. They’re the first REI store to file for a union election following @reiunionsoho’s victory. REI claims to be a progressive company but employees say it’s a facade. They’re understaffed, overworked & face racism from managers.

Why REI's Marketing Is a Sham
