While Biden impressed many labor leaders, he falsely claimed that he worked to repeal β€œright-to-work” in Delaware as a young 30-year-old Senator in the 1970s.

Contrary to Biden’s claim, the anti-union law was actually repealed in Delaware in 1949, when Biden was only seven years old.

"Look, I've been cookin' hotdogs on the grill a long, long time, okay. I know how things work and how to get things done, jack. Remember - do not forget - when I forced him to make a truce then I created first one. That was C-3PO - nah, nah, nah - that ain't ain't it. That was later - so much later. I'm talkin' about CPTO - the Corn Pop Treaty Organization.

pretty much exactly why the craft unions weren't completely destroyed in the last century

keep friendly unions in key industries to prevent any more radical organizing of those industries? mire those union bureaucracies with the same flaws and deadlock and such as the state political system. A state within a state

I guess it checks out but god its depressing

but you can do cool summer trips to camp with comrades in military compounds, and then murder some vendor in the farmer's market, then blame the russians/chinese/koreans/iranians. Sounds fun, right? fedposting

Definitely worth taking this with a few grains of salt, but learning that one of the Brabant Killers apparently fled to south Florida and just so happened to teach flying lessons at the same school some of the 9/11 hijackers attended, fucked me UP.

Mr Biden, my boss is making unlawful encroachments on my peoples' free time and infringing on our sovereignty with work meetings. Please send us F-16s and billions of dollars in aid for our liberation.
