The 8-hour workday, fair wages, safe and healthy working conditions, paid sick leave, collective bargaining rights, and guaranteed breaks are only some of the things that workers have thanks to union members striking and getting beat and killed by police officers sent by capitalist who, if they had their way, would never give workers those things.

@calsnoboarder @georgetakei problem is that #striking is de-facto a privilegue as >75% of all households [in the #USA!] cannot handle a surprise $400 expense [due to lack of savings!] and > 95% cannot miss a single paycheck!

Most people can't even affird existing!

Ah, the #EU flexes its bureaucratic muscles 💪 by slapping a 530 million euro fine on #TikTok for #privacy #violations. Because when you can't figure out how to make a decent app yourself, just penalize the ones from China! 😏 Meanwhile, #drones are #striking #targets, but hey, priorities! 🚀

TikTok fined $600 million for China data transfers that broke EU privacy rules

European Union privacy watchdogs have fined TikTok 530 million euros ($600 million). They say a four-year investigation found that the video sharing app’s data transfers to China breached strict data privacy rules. Ireland’s Data Protection Commission also sanctioned TikTok for not being transparent with users about where their personal data was being sent and ordered the company to comply with the rules within six months. TikTok, whose parent company ByteDance is based in China, has been under scrutiny in Europe over how it handles personal information of its users. TikTok said it disagreed with the decision and plans to appeal.

A fleeting moment during a trip to Roslin Glen a while ago - the thick clouds, falling virga and bright sunlight from the side all came together in this quasi-abstract pattern of tones.
