The mounting social inequality is fueling protests around the globe. The global ruling class is determined to prevent these protests from employing the weapon that can bring them down — strikes.
MIT provides this database of modest livable wages. They are calculated n’y metro areas and household size. They bear no relation to the pay being offered. Without unions to fight for workers, thèse living wages will continue to be ignored. https://livingwage.mit.edu
Margaret, by the time the data is in and processed we will see that America, as football fans often shout-out -- "We're #1", We're #1", We're #1" -- because by 2023, America will have the proud leadership of being "We're #1" in the GINI Coefficient of Wealth INEQUALITY.
That's right. In the recent past the GINI Coefficient of Wealth Inequality Record was held by Russia at 0.879 --- but with Russian Oligarchs being reduced, and Russia's sovereign wealth funds being blocked by Treasury --- America will surely pass Russia and be the highest/worst GINI Coefficient of Wealth Inequality at or above the Golden Goal of 0.90.
BTW, the GINI scale runs from 0.0, which equates with all people in a country sharing the exact same wealth, and up to 1.0 GINI, where one single greedy bastard holds and controls all the stolen Wealth in the country.
China's GINI Coefficient of Wealth Inequality is below the mean of all countries at 0.70 --- while America's GINI score is now 0.858 -- but sure to over 0.900 by 2023! --- so "We're #1", We're #1", We're #1" in Global INEQUALITY of WEALTH.
I wonder if there are limits on Press freedom. We are having an election and it is a terrible to pay price to have a free press. In Quebec the Press must censor itself and the press wants to know our most intimate secrets.
Like, whether our Provincial Prime Minister is feigning Alzheimer's or is really senile. He is nine years my junior and I am not totally sure of myself.
Yes, Chris, "Strike, Strike, Strike" is "Right, Right, Right" because there can be no "Cooperation without Representation" --- which means that "The Quiet American Empire" is a virtual monopoly of power only 'posing' as this Vichy facade of being a duopoly of faux-parties --- both of which are nothing but a quickly metastasizing cancer of EMPIRE.
BTW, I commented yesterday in your alma mater that "these 'TIMES' they are a-changing" with respect to whether "the long arc of history was curving" toward, or away, from any progressive thinking in the 'media-Empire', and wrote:
Quite honestly, IMHO, trying to sort out any of these 'Big Lies' seems to be in the eyes of the beholders.
However, the only hopeful thoughts that I have are reflected in the various double-sided demonstration signs which have evolved over many years of tortured, or possibly insightful, social political-economic thinking — which I have hopefully done justice to:
LOVE
OVER
VIOLENT
EMPIRE
and on the other path or side:
LOVE OVER
POWER, MONEY,
HATE & EMPIRE
All of which only leads me to one simple confidence, that the first to choose violence, will lose.

I woke up this morning to The Guardian and this editorial. I wonder how many people might die if it appeared in The Miami Herald or the NYT.

Better than Bulgaria but not as nice as Cuba

He promised to retire at 65 and now he wants to be President for Life.
