It surprises me that university workers haven't been unionized since the early 20th century. Is this unique to the uni in question given it's history? Like there were never many commies there?

A turkey in the contract is pegged at inflation, unless they start buying smaller and smaller. Hopefully the weight is included in the writing!

Apparently the data contradicts landlords claims that there were mountains of unpaid rent.

Climate change aside, one need only look at the deteriorating material conditions in places with rcv to see that it's dumb to think this one weird trick will help

Sivart13 posted:care to offer an example? Sure. Australia not only has rcv (or preferential), but voting is mandatory so almost everyone votes. Despite this, it's essentially a 2 party state (acting more like factions of a single party that ultimately serve the interests of corporations and billionaires). It has been a 2 party state for over 90 years, despite having rcv for over 100 years, even though when voters there can often rank 5+ parties, sometimes 10+ in densely populated areas. Despite having rcv, Australia's center left party (not their center right, funnily enough) was the first to begin the neoliberalization of their society. Their public housing system is being slowly dismantled, their public healthcare system is being slowly defunded, workers rights are being slowly eroded (helped by their center left Labor party rofl). Life expectancy has dropped. The gap between rich and poor has increased. Homelessness has increased. Alll the societal gains made in the world wars period and post war boom, similar to all the gains that happened in no-rcv western countries, are slowly being eroded, similar to the no-rcv countries. Rcv didn't stop capitalism from doing it's Thing in Australia. Bald Stalin fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Jan 16, 2024 |

And yet the material conditions are deteriorating in Australia. Not a personal attack, but I don't see how any of what you're mentioning matters when ultimately things are getting worse, not better, with rcv, and how things got better temporarily for some without rcv in other countries. The problem isn't how these government are structured or "chosen". It's the way society is producing and distributing the necessities of Life.

If only there was RCV, you wouldn't need to vote for the lesser of two evils. Then they wouldn't be doing genocide, like Austral.... Oh. Um... Nevermind.

DSA can be a gateway to further education and work in other orgs, like a pipeline. Another org I found out about from them ended up holding a short book reading of literature relevant to the work being done which had underpinnings of historical materialist analysis that I needed to figure out and BAM! rabbit hole and enlightenment

SlimGoodbody posted:Reparations would be a nice start for sure but yeah, the actual scope of evil visited upon enslaved people and any descendant even remotely connected to the receiving end of slave society violence (and its renamed legacy systems) would in all likelihood exceed the capacity for quantification. Like how do you even calculate the monetary value of centuries of... that. It's also so baked into this country that it has been the off-screen suffering press that produces the oil which greases the machinery of America. The only justice I can think of that would come close to approaching a meaningful start would involve the total dismantling of this entire operation. Ya lots of people living under the brutal occupation of settler colonialism been saying this

mllaneza posted:Lyra is a tele-therapy service that we got as a benefit during lockdown. It removes the need to have a therapist that you vibe with locally, so I have access to the entire national network. Pretty cool, and the one I did talk to was good. Lyra itself only works as an employer-provided service, but if there's a tele-therapy service that you can afford that takes private individuals as patients, checking it out to maybe find a good therapist outside your immediate vicinity. This doesn't work for California unless they were breaking CA law and practicing without a state license.
