I took a front-row seat at Spain’s purity ritual: flamenco hairspray, nationalist cosplay, and a lineup of future citizens armed with nothing but paperwork and hope. The barbarians are already inside.

Torrejón no es un escándalo: es el plan
La privatización sanitaria no busca curar, sino monetizar la enfermedad, convirtiendo a los pacientes en activos financieros y la salud en un lujo. El modelo de negocio es claro: tu vida importa menos que sus márgenes.

US Ambassador to Canada: But let me tell you, I go around the country and people will say, “Pete, you just don’t understand why we’re so mad about the 51st state.” And it’s kind of like, “Yeah, you’re right. I don’t.

From Ludlow to Haymarket to Flint, the 20th Century gave us the 40-hour week, discretionary income and ultimately the American middle class. We will accept the slide back into subsistence poverty or we will have to fight the 20th Century all over again.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
