"A partial truckers strike — not all truckers are Teamsters — would be problematic.
Buy more food now! PING! "
In my town, we have managed to pay real estate taxes, register our cars, and license our dogs while the local government is on paid vacation. These people better be careful or we may discover they are all NONESSENTIAL!
Great! I think the Union’s should step-up first and give any union member automatic seniority over any other skin color member. That is the thing to do, then make your demands on everyone else.
We need more school choice. Period.
My son is getting on board with that as he’s been reading a lot and seeing the handwriting on the wall.
However, my d-i-l is not there yet and rags on him about stocking up on food.
“We stand in solidarity with Jacob Blake and his family, and all communities fighting to defend Black lives from police and vigilante violence,” Milwaukee Teacher’s Association president Amy Mizialko told the AP.
“Are we striking tomorrow? No,” said Racine Educator United president Angelina Cruz, who represents teachers in a community that abuts Kenosha. “Are we in conversation with our members and the national labor movement about how we escalate our tactics to stop fascism and win justice? Yes.”
The Nonprofit Professional Employees Union, which represents several hundreds of professionals working at more than 25 civil rights groups and think tank organizations, told the AP it signed onto the union statement because “the fights for workers’ rights, civil rights, and racial justice are inextricably linked.”. . .
"Today, Black workers are more likely to be unionized than any other segment of the workforce as a result of decades of collaboration between labor and civil rights activists, said New York University professor and civil rights historian Thomas Sugrue. . .
Public and private employers are faced with a “Which side are you on?” moment due to growing support for the BLM movement, said Maurice Mitchell, national director of the Working Families Party and a leading organizer in the Movement for Black Lives, a national coalition of 150 Black-led organizations.
Your daughter-in-law's 'Normalcy bias' is a true human condition that we tell ourselves
that everything will continue to be the way we are used to experience.
This is a fallacy for the following reasons :
We have never before ever seen such a Socialistic insurgency as now proposed by a political party, with dramatic, sudden, and tramatic changes.
Food has never been as cheap as it is today, despite national floods, locust plagues, infectious virus, and other natural catastrophes.
The recent broken supply chain of food, pharmaceutical, and manufactured products demonstrates exactly how dependent the grocery stores on re-supply
since the amount of in-store inventory has diminished and needs resupply about every three days.
Now imagine what happens if the field laborers, fuel supply production plants, or truckers go 'on strike'.
There will be no fresh produce, no fuel for any delivery trucks, and what deliveries there may be
will go to selected areas where trucks can re-supply fuel to get back to their distribution centers.
Can you imagine imagine society and commerce as your grand-parents had in their day ?
That is what one can expect in a broken supply chain , disorder and chaos and experience runs on the market supply whatever is immediately available.
The supply chain is completely dependent on cooperation among different occupations; if one occupation goes on strike, the entire supply chain breaks down.
Not only as cheap but as plentiful as well.
People are too used to thinking that meat and milk come from the supermarket, already pre-packaged.
