the best moment in film history

Fast food workers in NY just won a $15/hr wage. I’m a paramedic. My job requires a broad set of skills: interpersonal, medical, and technical skills, as well as the crucial skill of performing under pressure. I often make decisions on my own, in seconds, under chaotic circumstances, that impact people’s health and lives. I make $15/hr. And these burger flippers think they deserve as much as me? Good for them. Look, if any job is going to take up someone’s life, it deserves a living wage. If a job exists and you have to hire someone to do it, they deserve a living wage. End of story. There’s a lot of talk going around my workplace along the lines of, “These guys with no education and no skills think they deserve as much as us? Fuck those guys.” And elsewhere on FB: “I’m a licensed electrician, I make $13/hr, fuck these burger flippers.” And that’s exactly what the bosses want! They want us fighting over who has the bigger pile of crumbs so we don’t realize they made off with almost the whole damn cake. Why are you angry about fast food workers making two bucks more an hour when your CEO makes four hundred TIMES what you do? It’s in the bosses’ interests to keep your anger directed downward, at the poor people who are just trying to get by, like you, rather than at the rich assholes who consume almost everything we produce and give next to nothing for it. My company, as they’re so fond of telling us in boosterist emails, cleared 1.3 billion dollars last year. They expect guys supporting families on 26-27k/year to applaud that. And that’s to say nothing of the techs and janitors and cashiers and bed pushers who make even less than us, but are as absolutely crucial to making a hospital work as the fucking CEO or the neurosurgeons. Can they pay us more? Absolutely. But why would they? No one’s making them. The workers in NY *made* them. They fought for and won a living wage. So how incredibly petty and counterproductive is it to fuss that their pile of crumbs is bigger than ours? Put that energy elsewhere. Organize. Fight. Win.

i’ve seen an appalling amount of news stories regarding the rise in anti-semitic hate crime and threats over the past few months, yet here on tumblr i follow TWO non-jews who blog about it regularly, almost always reblogged from myself, and one who blogs about it sporadically. not sure why goyim seem to think they can defeat nazis when they are willfully ignorant about a primary target of nazis.

there have been 48 bomb threats to jewish community centers across the country over the past two weeks and the only blogs i saw posting about it were jewish bloggers. according to the fbi, in 2015, over HALF of religious-based hate crimes were anti-jewish, yet this stat has only been brought to my attention by other jews. a man drove cross-country to my hometown with an explosive compound to “desecrate” my temple this summer. this is real, it’s happening, and it always has been.

raising awareness is the easiest thing to do in the age of social media and instant information, so goyim, it’s time to step it tf up.
