“Companies like McDonald’s cannot on the one hand tweet that ‘Black Lives Matter’ and on the other pay us poverty wages and fail to provide sick days and adequate PPE,”

She will be the first one replaced by a menu kiosk or a hamburger-flipping robot.

MAN!

The American Federation of Teachers is really playing hardball now.

Teachers walking off the job in the middle of July, during a national school shutdown.

Have they no mercy?

The strikers are now unemployed and proven to be unemployable. If they return, they will not work to earn their keep.

If you have the opportunity to talk to a leftist have some fun.

Ask them to list all the workers benefits in union contracts.

When they are done, just say: “You are absolutely correct—and robots require none of those things.”

There are so many useful idiots in this country, yet so many Trump supporters think that Donald Trump has the next election in the bag. Just looking at the opinion polls alone, there is no good reason on God’s green earth that Joe Biden shouldn’t have approval ratings in the single digits.

With 10’s of millions of people out of jobs and these few thousands meaning hundreds across the country will be out of work as they will be replaced.

**The protest was organized by union groups including the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the American Federation of Teachers, United Farm Workers, and the Fight for $15 and a Union, alongside social justice groups including the Movement for Black Lives, U.S. Youth Climate Strike Coalition, and the Center for Popular Democracy. ****

will anyone notice they are on strike? School’s out, business closed up, crops not ready to pick. Others are just the usual do-nothing spew groups.

These people are about to destroy the American way of life and turn us into Venezuela. If only there was some way to show them what life is like in Venezuela, El Salvador and Guatemala right now. The ignorance is appalling.

They aren't ignorant. They just think that come the revolution they will be in charge.

For the first time in my life I am beginning to think they may be right.

To be strictly fair, the Texas GOP should have been having their state convention online and not physical for most of the last decade - even before COVID-19.

“I’m sure that there are immigrants from those countries who belong to SEIU”

You kidding? Those are the ONLY people in SEIU - it’s the illegal alien union!

When everything is still closed down, a strike is barely noticed. I didn’t even know it happened.

Hell, just take them to the ghetto

Any ghetto

If they can’t comprehend how decades of politics has kept the ghetto as ghetto, then they’re beyond hope
