    That conversation gave me such a headache around the rail strike.

    “They need sick days and proper pay”

    “I recognize that”

    “that’s why they’re on strike”

    “well if they’re allowed to strike the economy shuts down”

    “if they’re so important they should probably get fair pay and benefits shouldn’t they?”

    “Well yeah”

    “that’s why they’re on strike”

    “well if they’re allowed to strike the economy shuts down”

    🙄

      Fuck the economy. The fact that capitalist society runs on nothing but greed and the desire for infinite growth is an issue, not the economy being “bad”
