Like Netanyahu keeps a genocide happening to stall his judicial and legal reckonings, it's really looking like Trump is gonna do the same with a war with Venezuela.
Gallego: "This is the Iraq War 2.0 with a South American flavor. I'm hoping this doesn't happen, but I'm telling you - if you look at what they have down there, all the assets they have down there, all the actions they're taking, this is absolutely an effort to get us involved in a war in Venezuela"

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.
Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

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.

What garbage.
So govts"can't create wealth"?!
Who built this country's roads,hospitals,hydro dams,transmission lines, schools,telecommunications,coastal shipping,rail,interisland ferries,AirNZ,etc?
And if it wasnt wealth created by the State - why did Douglas and Richardson privatise much of it?!
