It's all about The Prisoner's Dilemma. The rich and the powerful have too many of us convinced that, if we join a union, we will never be either rich or powerful ourselves.

Fact is, most of us will never be rich or powerful no matter what. By joining together, we can be better off than we are, by quite a bit. But that's a hard sell in a world where it is possible for a grifter to become the president, and a jack-ass to become the world's richest man.

@rbreich

Professor, you are one of the few voices of reason and wisdom I will always listen to in this day and age. But, please, particularly when you are posting images with nothing but words, so more people are able to know what you have to say, add the alt text some folks depend on.

#AltText

@Professor_Stevens @rbreich

Or just copy& paste the text to this platform.

@rbreich

They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn,
But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn.
We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learn
That the union makes us strong.

@rbreich Look what happened to Target when people boycotted. Mass power will win.
@rbreich Love your work but if you’re going to paste text as an image in order to game the user interface, you gotta add alt text

@rbreich

Robert, you're only four years older than me.

Please, find out how to use #AltText and use it.

@rbreich it's all a matter of supply and demand
How much would people pay to be a billionaire? How many people can afford to be a billionaire?
And the other question is, what is the currency involved?
@rbreich
“We are the many, they are the few.”
The US diverse working class to
paraphrase an old Joni Mitchell
song should put the oligarchs
In a museum “And charge the
people a dollar and a half just
to see ‘em.”

@rbreich Yeah, but if you side with the worthless parasites you might get a leg up on all the other workers struggling to get by. Any family man would be silly to pass this up. You do want a legacy, yeah? Or do you want to let your children get eaten by men strong enough to do what needs doing for theirs?

So that's how you think and act and then they laugh when you build their palaces for them. "Look at all these idiots giving us parasites the world just because we said someone else might!"

@rbreich And sheep outnumber farmers by hundreds to one. If only those farmers didn’t have dogs!
@rbreich Please consider adding alt-text to the pictures you upload, in that way people with a visual impediment can also take part in the discussion.
@rbreich "a huge margin", like on the order of 10 millions to one?
@rbreich That’s the point of the drones being perfected in Gaza…
@rbreich The problem is all the media tells workers that uniting to make things better is bad and evil
@rbreich yep. we outnumber them 2 million to 1. if even one percent of us went after the rich, they'd be doomed.

@rbreich

People who can see outnumber the blind, so Reich never bothers with #AltText. He also never bothers to engage with replies. I think he has some underpaid person doing his comms for him.

@rbreich

this wil never happen

workers love to be oppressed by superrich minoritys instead of being social with their poor neighbors and do real politics by themself
