All because of Francis Perkins, the 1st female and longest serving cabinet member ever.The person who FDR made Labor Secretary & gave us child labor laws, 40 hr. work weeks, social security & so much more. A champion of the American working class. She was at the triangle Waist Shirt Factory fire.
Well. Right now the left sell off the country for free to the R’s so. They don’t act on clear evidence of election freud. There is enough to reject the election same as in Romania. But they just banter about cabinets. A lot of respect is lost the last two days.
My cousin was like, "we won't be taxed on overtime if trump wins". Not well informed, he believed it. He wanted it to be true. It would help him and his family. I explained. Project2025 is pushing a 180 hr work month. No OT. trump just takes your hope, body slams it, then shoots it in the head.
Yes. Why in the name of smartphone information search engines can’t these folks do the “research” they always claim they do for vaccines & Hunter Biden Laptop stories? These plans were clearly laid out in b&w in p2025 for anyone to read. 🙄
Um, first ... NO. Trump OWES billions, doesn't have any money. He is BROKE. You can also verify that by documents turned into the courts. Second.. what he once had, he either inherited (part of it) or grifted believers to buy his garbage and send them their money.
And MANY of us were posting it on Facebook, et Al. They didn't see it because they WANTED to believe Trump and Elon. They MUST be smart they have billions right?
Also women can vote, black people can vote, there are child labor laws, work safety laws…. The list of great things the left brought us through bloody toil is endless
Personally I yearn for my ancestors simple joy of laboring in a field until they were stoned to death for looking at an Englishman’s wife (they were blind ofc)
8 hours of work per day is still a lot but that's okay I guess for the normal jobs.
But I really feel people who work in emergencies and high pressure situations should not be working that long. They should be max 6 hours in ( unless they are needed ).
It's also dangerous because you have emergency workers that end up not being alert and not caring about doing their jobs right. That happens anyway to a degree, but I'm sure long hours only exacerbates the problem.
I’m a member of our teachers union (I’m a teaching aide) and they are wonderful. Never worked where someone actually had your back before, so I now understand the need for Unions.
That’s great! Only 1 thing I would add that people gripe about. An OSHA ⭐️ ornament on the tree. Work place regulations are written in 🩸 & people bitch about OHSA all the time. They just want you to keep your limbs, sight, & go home alive. A thankless job that works for us all while they get 💩 on.
Former OSHA inspector for 15+ years. I’ve seen the progress in workplace safety over the years, due to new & improved regulations being enforced, although most employees really don’t notice.. And yes, it’s truly a thankless job, so I very much appreciate your recognition of what OSHA does :)
The one time I remember OSHA being brought up at work was a guy complaining that the lighting wasn't bright enough by OSHA standards. He threatened to report them if they didn't put in better lighting. They caved.
Much appreciation for your service! My husband was a member of the NC OSHA Star team for a couple years. One thing that came up was how understaffed OSHA is. For all the inspections needed, the number of inspectors is shockingly low. Similarly with NTSB. Another unseen job keeping us safe.
and thanks to the right, we have a rapist being elected and reelected as president, two credibly accused sexual harassers/assaulters in the highest court in the land, and a matryoshka doll of rapey rapists in the incoming rapist's Cabinet. Thanks, I hate it.
Not to mention the right trying to bring back child marriage and child labor in a couple of states. What in the ACTUAL LIVING FUCK is wrong with conservative America?
Re: child labor; they figured once all the immigrants were deported, they'd convince the poors to sacrifice their children on the late-stage capitalism altar next. You watch.
Can we go to the doctor without going broke? Can we have a baby and take time off to care for it and recover? Can we get a fucking vacation for ourselves? Can we afford a home or to retire? The "lEfT" in this country stopped working for Americans long ago.
Radicals were the ones driving those changes, though. Liberals went along with it eventually. I appreciate that there is this weird notion being pushed that you're either conservative or liberal, but that's a fairly recent development.
But the modern Dems still sold out to the NeoLib line of thinking because it's lucrative. For them. Teddy Roosevelt was a Republican who took on Big Biz of his time; we need human oriented progressives. And a new party.
I do not mean to insult/shame MAGA voters and other voters, but voters must have a modicum of critical thinking, research, common sense and realize the current GOP does not care about them. This is not to say Democrats are perfect, but the GOP is insane and perhaps malevolent.
Elections have consequences and getting the wrong people (e.g., criminals, nincompoops, sociopaths, and so on) in office cannot only be embarrassing but also dangerous/deadly. Vote wisely America from now on or do not be surprised when people from other countries keep laughing at us.
No. That’s why our parents were able to. Many today need to work two full time jobs and get no weekends off and have no time to spend with their families.
Thanks to the right. The US still doesn't have parental leave, 28 days minimum holiday, a minimum wage that can buy more than a pack of peanuts every hour.
A bit too rosy an image as most contracts are 40hrs and it's not that you can't be fired but also mostly yeh, we have more rights, e.g. harder to fire without good reason
I want to thank the people who are left still and want freedom and democracy, but we are getting fewer! Humanism and solidarity are disappearing, hatred is gaining ground, not only in the United States
. the interwebs are just making it more obvious that its there
humans have always been stupid throughout history and people have always fought back, won, and then the stupid folks find a whole new way to be stupid. rinse. and. repeat.
The concept of 'mental health' in our society is defined largely by the extent to which an individual behaves in accord with the needs of the system and does so without showing signs of stress.
Thanks to the Right, you have not starved, you have a job that matches both your desires and abilities and can improve yourself through hard work - rather than being a drone whose success goes to some amorphous ‘collective’.
Not at all. Prove me wrong with facts. Capitalism is responsible for just about everything you have in the. World. The ‘socialist’ attempts have all died off which shows how good they were.
Incorrect. Most in o actions are done entirely in the private sector. You are just looking at defence and assuming it’s all the same. Capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than any alternative system you might propose.
Makes me sick that all my union "brothers" voted for this asshole and all his friends, all of which certainly would love to see the destruction of everything unions have fought for over the last 100+ yrs 😔
I was just gonna post that. Project 2025 wants all of it gone. Check out Chump's tacky white supremecist Qanon dog whistling nationalist bibles. The Constitution inside it is missing all the Amendments that made all that possible. It was telling us his intention to remove those Amendments.
Southern schools that bought a bunch of those Bibles want kids to see a Constitution that does not include Amendments that gave anyone but white men rights. They want to erase them as if they never happened.
There is no hope, I saw a video yesterday where 25 Gen Zers couldn't find the United States on a world map. Until education standards go back up we are doomed
Didn't Henry Ford come up with the 40-hour workweek because he speculated that his workers would be inclined to buy his cars and put their pay back into his business if they had more free time?
It's still not enough, God. Still not enough. We should have a 32 hour work week, and we shouldn't have to worry about the right to marriage being taken away if you're not heteronormative.
Nah, thanks to the people we have that. The current left is in truth a center-right party, they e proven they lost the plot. Let's replace them with an actual left party.
or you could go further left where your value is not determined by any amount of work you do or do not do and you don’t need any state institutions to sanction your love for another human being.
Pittsburgh Steel unions just found out. Get loud and stay loud. Mid-terms will be here before we know it. Until then, fight them in court and through peaceful protests

Time to do away with your right hand.
🚬😎
And you COULD not die from spawning your crotch goblins. Then the right fucked that up
Almost every good thing came to them because of democrats.
These are all socialist policies.
So why is socialism bad, pray tell?
Idiots
But I really feel people who work in emergencies and high pressure situations should not be working that long. They should be max 6 hours in ( unless they are needed ).
There needs to be more rotation.

Make the case and stop the hate v liberals over last 40+ years
I remember middle class jobs back in the 90s.

The only thing capitalism does is decide who profits from them.
Look up who was first in space if you think capitalism is best lol.
I understand your intention...
...but I'd like both parties to block one particular group from the whole marriage issue...
... particularly as divorce is only accessible at 18+

🤔
... One side does seem eager to remove rights from minors.
Removal of Reproductive rights.
Restriction of travel (ie Idaho)
😶
😡
Also min wage never gets two days off in a row
Pay attention, people. We’ve got a fight ahead.
