Is there anything you'd be willing to fight a war for?

[Eric the Green]

Maybe some US workers are no longer so willfully ignorant anymore, and so willing to passively accept all the increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the reduced benefits, the longer hours, and the end of overtime, and the vanishing pension that disappears the moment you go to collect it. And maybe they are not so willing to let the members of the BIG CLUB of wealthy owners and CEOs take their social security retirement money and give to their criminal friends on Wall Street. Maybe they won't be so accepting of the big red, white and blue dick that's being shoved up their assholes every day. Maybe they won't be quite as willing to vote against a Democratic President in midterms by at least making the margin of loss less this time. They may not vote in such great numbers for the politicians that don't care about them but only about the owners. The system that threw them overboard 30 (now 40) fuckin' years ago may not be able to deceive so many of them so they don't even notice or care. They are more willing to resign and demand a better job with better pay or join a union. Maybe they are not quite as asleep as they used to be, especially maybe the younger ones who were never brainwashed 30-40 years ago by the Reagan neoliberal slogans.

Anyone who wonders why people have quit their jobs in record numbers just needs to watch this. George is dearly missed.
