Get it?

Yes, usually when my partner is in the mood.

Listen, the system will not allow itself to collapse

Usually it gets to a point where collapse doesn’t ask system for permission.

Do you need a definition of the word?

A quick Google search will get you that.

it seems reasonable to anticipate visitation by ACAB.

I don’t know, the optics of police literally going into people’s homes and pulling them out and forcing them to work doesn’t seem like something the government would want, no matter what.

Optics? Seriously? Do we live on opposite sides of the television screen?

You really think it would be a positive optic to see on the Evening News policeman going in the house and dragging people out and forcefully driving them to work and making them work at gunpoint?

Which side of government would care? The coproratocracy or the facists?

The side that wants to get reelected.

I’m speaking more towards if workers stay at home en mass, etc.

A peaceful general strike would lead to military intervention in about 45-60 days I think.

But at the end of the day, how do you task society to forcibly work?

Everyone can just start taking sick days, what’s the Army going to do, go to door?

An interesting read, thank you for sharing.

The anti-communism slant in the law was slightly humorous to read, as it shows you the times in which the law was written.

Interesting that it was a Republican sponsored bill, and voted in by a Republican Senate and House.

Also interesting that the President Truman had vetoed it.

What the hell are months even?? They don’t serve any purpose other than

They used to be used to note the change of the weather from one season to another, in a general range (not a literal single solstice date) sort of way.

However it does seem like the seasons are slipping in comparison to the calendar, Summer starting later and ending later, etc.

The leaders of capitalism are just “capitalists.”

By the leaders of capitalism one could mean the CEOs and/or upper management, the c-suite, etc.

And they don’t read CNBC.

They sure watch it though, as well as the Sunday morning shows.

This is an article written for middle-class office drones, because it’s one of the few websites that isn’t blocked by the company firewall that has something approximating entertainment on it.

They’re usually too busy to watch videos on their web browser at work because they are trying to keep the place from burning down project wise, but sure, it could be for them as well.

If you’re unfamiliar with the concept of constructive dismissal, it’s where an employer skirts termination laws

Thank you for the education. I had not heard of that tactic described using that term before.

Also, not being able to own or manage housing property other than your personal residence

IANAL, but that seems to cross a legal ‘free will’ line that most people wouldn’t want to cross.

Other forms of punishment without losing ownership would be the more established go to alternative.
