as in Australia, unions have pretty much turned their backs on the working class:
1 Sept; Peoples World: American Federation of Teachers endorses Green New Deal
At its recent National Convention, the 1.7 million-member American Federation of Teachers (AFT) passed a sweeping resolution in support of the Green New Deal. With this action, the AFT becomes the fourth national union in the U.S. to take this step. So far the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the flight attendants (AFA-CWA) and the National Nurses United (NNU) have signed on in support...
It is true that the response was not all positive. AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka acknowledged the need to address environmental issues quickly, but stopped short of endorsing the GND. Also, the presidents of ten national unions in the energy sector went on record in opposition to the legislation as it was then written. But when we consider that Cortez (AOC), a first term Congresswoman with no seniority in the House, gets serious mail from ten national union presidents, it should be clear that her words and proposals are resonating outside the beltway.
Other union members have been more positive...

If JFK had the same politics as he did in 1960-63, he would have to be a Republican.
On the gin note - I hear old Ted's BAC finally got down .2
Well it took a lot of research. But I finally figure out who he was running against. And that it was a democrat primary. To bad no one knows how to write good articles anymore.
They could make sandwiches...
just noting how the Federal Govt in Australia “surprised” everyone when they won the last election, all because of workers in coal country switching their votes to the “conservative” Liberal/National party coalition:
never forget the “manmade gloBULL warming” is a $100-trillion, a generation in the making. this mob don’t give up easily. Bob Carr a well-known China apologist from the leftwing Labor Party writes:
2 Sept: Guardian: Joe Biden’s bold climate policies would leave Australia behind
by Bob Carr
(Bob Carr is a former premier of New South Wales and foreign affairs minister of Australia. He is professor of business and climate change at University of Technology, Sydney)
Australia may be sailing perilously close to being cast by Bidens team with other climate resisters Brazil and Saudi Arabia.
This month the US Democrats wrapped up polling in Pennsylvania, a north-east industrial state that four years ago went to Donald Trump by 44,000 votes. Among other things the polling found that voters didnt like Trumps deregulation of methane. Voters supported a phasing out of fossil fuels.
This is happy news for Democrats given that Biden has already committed to impose aggressive new methane limits on gas and oil operations by presidential executive action on day one of his presidency. This was set out in his clean energy and environmental justice plan. It embraces decarbonisation as part of an economic rebuild.
During the primaries he spoke about $1.7tn over 10 years. But in a 14 July landmark speech he crammed $2tn into a mere four years, pitched in terms of more high-paying union jobs generated in a swiftly decarbonising economy...
Biden is pledging no carbon at all in the power network by 2035 phasing coal and gas out of the system rapidly and the hugely ambitious target of net zero emissions by 2050...
Yet even Chinas status as coal-fired enthusiast could be altered by the new dynamic of climate diplomacy.
At present China has embraced coal-fired power plant construction as part of its economic revival. But this coal snapback can be overtaken by the process of the next five-year plan hauling Chinas policies back to nuclear and renewables...

the so-called “conservative” now Bob Carr’s old job, to the dismay of many of her party’s supporters:
3 Sept: Guardian: (New South Wales Liberal (conservative) premier) Gladys Berejiklian says reaching net zero emissions by 2050 is achievable and would be ‘the stuff of dreams’
The NSW premier has said it doesnt take much to reach net zero by 2050 in a webinar with former British prime minister Theresa May

Britain has been urging other countries to follow it in adopting the mid-century net zero emissions goal before it hosts the next major UN climate conference in Glasgow, citing scientific evidence, but the (Federal Liberal/conservative) Morrison government is resisting the push...
