Just what every employer hates ... union talk.

People are slowly waking up to what has happened in America since the 1970s.

Back when the GD occurred, unions and other groups met with FDR and said we have too few people controlling a bulk of the wealth, you need to do something.

FDR went to the wealthy and proposed a substantial tax on the wealthiest and the corps of about 70% with the height in the 1950s reaching 90%.

From that tax money FDR began to rebuild the country and put working people to work (unemployment was about 25-30% during the GD) and he did that with Federal Programs known as the New Deal or as some like to call it SOCIALISM. Too much wealth and power in too few hands isn't good for any society or country.

The New Deal gave us: Social Security, Unemployment Insurance, Minimum Wage, Workman's Comp etc etc and that lasted for about 40 years then those people began to resent their high taxation and they began in the 1970s to undo all of those New Deal support systems for working class and poor people and that's where we're at today. None of that had ever existed prior to the New Deal ever in America.

Well, those wealthy people and the corps who opposed it have used their wealth and power since the 1970s to hijack a Court and a political system by loading the Court with pro corporate Justices.

They have squashed Unions and any other resistance to their wealth and power to the detriment of fellow Americans with huge dark money donations and complete control of every branch of the government.

Whatever to the guy who started this company? I think his name was Trevor something but then it came out that the company and his claims were fraudulent then he disappeared. His semi trucks were supposed to run on renewable energy namely hydrogen I think.

I recall he raised eyebrows when he tried to buy a $37M dollar home somewhere in Utah.

Really? This is getting really sad when a person can't eat a burger in their car without getting shot.

Uh no!

I own about 6 or 8 pairs of bluejeans.

Geez man please stop with the nonsense with the libs and gerrymandering. No one has done more damage in regards to voting than the GOP and dark money donors like the all time kings of polluting, the Koch brothers.

These like minded people have been trying to repeal the Voting Rights Act since Nixon so please stop.

The current Supreme Court has been captured in a long running scheme orchestrated to turn back the clock on Roe v Wade, Voting, Affirmative Action etc etc and the list goes on.

The last 3 Justices were nominated by guess who, Donald John Trump.that were handpicked by the Judicial Crisis Network, an ultra conservative group ran by Clarence Thomas' former law clerk Carrie Severino and funded with untraceable dark money.

JCN handpicked Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barret and Trump fell in line and nominated all three and those dark money donors and the ultra conservative right have now captured the highest Court in the land as well as some lower courts with sole purpose of dismantling rules and laws and regulations that corporations hate and to suppress the voting privileges of people that they know won't vote for them.

Follow the money! Uh well you can't because it's all being donated by unnamed sources for front groups.

That's the reason Citizens United was passed so that these people could get on the Court and make decisions and rulings on favorable corporate matters.

This current court has ruled against labor unions, abortions, etc etc since it's been in place so this Court is doing exactly what the people who put these Justices in place was designed to do and that is dismantling the parts of the Constitution that conservatives do not like.

I do every once in awhile. Just steam them in white wine butter shallots diced red pepper with some crusty buttery garlic bread and french fries.

Well, in other news, the Supreme Court gets back at it Oct 3rd and up next on the stripping the US Constitutional rights of the American people will be Voting Rights and Affirmative Action clearly in their sights.

The super ultra conservative supermajority all the way right SC gets back to abolishing other US Constitutional Freedoms starting tomorrow.

Roe v Wade was just a warm up to what's coming.
