Flesh clinging to unraptured Soul

Scorched by Sun, Smothered by Moon

Earth clawing at Divine Will

A Holy Soul, bathed in fate

Baleful and Grey, He wails and cries

Screams haunting and rocking, Drums beating Eternally

Give the God your final breath, and Speak only in His Voice

LAW AND ECONOMICS BABEYYY

headspace-hotel

not "I hate it here" as in "I want to leave" but "I hate it here" as in "this is a list of the 50 counties in the whole united states with the lowest life expectancy and Kentucky is 14 of them"

headspace-hotel

this was jumping off from recent kentuckyposting, but if you're american this list should radicalize you. It's just a parade of the evils of this nation

The US county with the lowest average life expectancy (as of 2014) is Oglala Lakota County, South Dakota. It is a Native American reservation with a 92.9% Native American population. The average life expectancy there is 66.81 years.

If it were a country, it would rank below 150th in worldwide average life expectancy.

The second county on the list is Union County, Florida, at 67.57 years. It has a high prison population—one-third of the county's population is incarcerated.

The list is dominated from there on by Native American reservations, counties in Mississippi with a 70%+ Black population, and Eastern Kentucky and West Virginia coal country.

These areas in the USA have a lower life expectancy than incredibly poor countries without basic health infrastructure, without access to a clean water supply.

In Union County, the fact that 1/3 (one-third) of the population is incarcerated brings down the life expectancy so much that it might as well be a place without hospitals or plumbing. If that doesn't fucking haunt you I don't know what would

I wish I'd saved the titles of the books I read about the United States prison system. However bad you imagine it is, it's worse.

Like I will never be able to erase some of that shit from my head. Nightmares. Crimes against humanity. The only reason I haven't posted more about it is I don't even want to look it up again

Prison abolition sounds crazy and radical and then you read a book

Going to prison in this country literally ruins your life. Like every prison sentence should be thought of as a "life sentence" in some way, because in many ways there's no healing from it. It quite literally traumatizes people beyond the ability to be a "useful member of society" it's not rehabilitative in any way, it sets people up to reoffend because they have been abused in every way in an incredibly violent and coercive environment.

Prison CREATES crime in a lot of ways by traumatizing human beings with every form of violence, violation and dehumanization to the point that they...don't have the ability to be with other people in a peaceful society.

It's completely abhorrent that prison is an option for crimes that don't even harm other people. It's not just having your freedoms restricted or whatever, violent abuse is par the course

And people will say "What about murderers?" but you're like...to be entirely honest I don't think we should treat murderers like this are you reading this

I am dead serious: If you are a Walmart employee, at any level and in any store — like if you are a high school kid with a part time job stocking shelves — message me any question you have about unions. Like ask me “What’s a union” if you want. I will explain it to you. I am a grievance chair for a white collar union whose workplace only unionized within the last five years and whose management fought as every step of the way, but in the end we fucking won. It can be done, and I can tell you how.

Unionizing is our wet dream I promise you.

I like how it’s described as a union could “cripple American Capitalism” when more precisely it’s just that a union would be so powerful as to force WalMart (or any other company) to pay their workers like human beings. That’s not going to break Walmart. They’ll barely notice.

They’ve successfully convinced us that the unions are the greedy monsters. For so many years, the companies have painted unions as “we want you to pay janitors three million dollars a year and if you don’t we’ll set your stores on fire”.

But it’s more like “We want you to take an almost imperceptible fraction of your bountiful profits and use it to make your employees’ live marginally better, and maybe give them medical benefits, y’know, so they don’t die”.

Big companies did not stop hiring ten year olds to work in coal mines because they just woke up one day and said “my god, we’re monsters”. They did it because their workers stood together and said “really, enough of this crap”.

Companies are not going to give people raises unless it’s economically necessary that they do so. Anything they can do to lower their expenses, and raise their profits, they are going to do. And no one person can stop them.

But thousands of people, millions of people? Better chances.

To anyone that wants to claim it wouldn’t work:

Just another reminder that Walmart Germany was a spectacular fail because of ver.di (which is a national service trade union that has it’s control over almost all trade and service companies in Germany) among other things.

Like, ver.di essentially came up to the CEO of Walmart Germany and was like “Hi, welcome, we wish you the best and that we can work together well :)” and the dude was like “hahaha no” and tried to pull the american concept here so ver.di pulled out a list of all the breaches of german law that Walmart was doing (underpaying workers, trying to avoid paying health care by using part-timers, trying to be open for more than 80 hours per week, firing people on short notice without warning or exit payments, etc) and long story short, they got some massive hefty fines for it. They also set up a list of demands for the workers and organized national strikes to push them through, making the employees of 85 hypermarkets neatly stand in front of the store doors with signs, whistles and chants (and certainly not the “Wallmart! Wallmart!” chant). In the end, that plus other things caused them to bail after 9 years with a gigantic loss (almost a billion just from sales) from one of the best retail markets in the world.

So all those issues like “no healthcare” or “work full-time and need food stamps” or “work on sundays and holidays” and shit? Unions are there to set their foot down against that for you. They are there to keep you safe from the corps wrath while fighting for your rights.

Cause if you, an individual, complain, they just fire you and laugh about it. A union is a collection of hundreds up to MILLIONS of people, supported by lawyers, going against employers for you.

In Denmark, due to union negotiations & refusal to work for slave wages, the McDonald’s basic pay comes out to about $20 US / Hour. The big mac there costs about 60 cents more.

Actually crippling capitalism is good and cool anyway

Reminder than Walmart won’t even be paying time and a half during thanksgiving and Black Friday to their employees. They only give them a DISCOUNT On two specific days. Shit pay and their only “perk” is to give the money back to Walmart by shopping there.

Fuck Walmart. Unionize. Burn the waltons down.

hey man, nice insincere uquiz. i like the part where you said it only took 20 minutes to make, if you said any longer we might thing you cared or something. I like the hostile tone and the part in the pick a song lyric question where you say how lame these kind of questions are, not in yours though, your taste in music is super good. not that you care or anything, I can tell you don't bc of how aggressive and demeaning my results were, it really hits hard. You're a stone wall in this, you're not projecting anything at all about yourself because the ironic and detached writing style hides it so well
