He makes a good point.

Mitt Romney: “I will not be voting for former President Trump. I must admit that I find sexual assault to be a line I will not cross in the people I select to be my president.”

Remember when COVID happened and many workers died?

Remember when the workers that remained started demanding better pay and conditions?

Remember when workers, even unorganized workers, had the leverage?

Remember when there were more jobs than workers? (No one wants to work anymore! 😭)

None of that has changed. We're still there.

Remember when business leaders said they had to fire people & squeeze them & take losses in order to gain back the upper hand?

That's what this is.

I remain unconvinced that the wave of layoffs in #tech over the past 2 years are due to “overhiring” during the (still ongoing) pandemic. In any office where people are overworked, there is no such thing as “overhiring”.

It’s just another weasel marketing term like “unskilled labour” designed to deflect blame from the naked predatory greed of corpos.

And so now the #NHScrisis in all it dimensions lies behind another health scare: this time the surge in #scabies across the country.

Lets be clear; you cannot defund the #NHS, attack & demean in staff while engineering the environment for failure (to push #patients into the arms of private #healthcare) and not thinks you will see a series of crises in public health.

Where the #Tories always go wrong is thinking they can buy their & their chums way out of danger!
