My only complaint about the kneelers is, they were doing it on company time. They've also got the entire off season to kneel and protest. Where are they now, out spending their giant NFL paychecks, or protesting against discrimination?

A company's time or your company's time. If its your company, do what you want. If its another company and they allow it, oh well. Companies also have freedom. I surf the internet and post here on company time. Have a problem with that?

I stumbled upon this talk a few days ago. Highly recommended. I doubt most will be bothered to sit through an hour and a half talk, but put it on while you're cooking dinner or something.

As a pro labor union member here, I resent him making organized labor look bad.

And being a union supporter, it is only honest that I also occasionally post articles where unions do crapola, which of course they do at times.

This country needs Bernie Sanders. Now. Yesterday. Last year. Ten years ago. 20 years ago. 30 years ago. Hurry. Before it's too late. AGAIN.


Well, watching that was waste of time. What the country doesn't need is Bernie. We may need to change some things, but we don't need a radical leftist like him. He has had seven pieces of legislation that he was the primary sponsor of get enacted since he came to the Senate in 2007:

S. 885 (113th): A bill to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 35 Park Street in Danville, Vermont, as the “Thaddeus Stevens Post Office”.
S. 2782 (113th): A bill to amend title 36, United States Code, to improve the Federal charter for the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, and for other ...
S. 893 (113th): Veterans’ Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2013
H.R. 5245 (109th): To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1 Marble Street in Fair Haven, Vermont, as the “Matthew Lyon Post Office Building”.
H.J.Res. 129 (104th): Granting the consent of Congress to the Vermont-New Hampshire Interstate Public Water Supply Compact.
H.R. 1353 (102nd): Entitled the “Taconic Mountains Protection Act of 1991”.
H.J.Res. 132 (102nd): To designate March 4, 1991, as “Vermont Bicentennial Day”.

Re: Richard Wolff

This was after 2016 the election. Sounds like the Marxian economist for the easily owned, got Trump’s message.

Corporations: “We don’t need the American working class, who we overpay, and we’re out of here.” “We’re leaving.”

“Capitalism over the last forty years has abandoned the countries where it was born and reached its maturity.”

“Where did it go? “China”

“Our capitalism is declining.”

This is a real economist:
