Just a shocking number of people donโt even know the 2022 bivalent boosters โขexistโข.
Folks, there are newly formulated vaccines as of this fall.
If you got your last before Sep / very late Aug, you should get a new booster.
Itโs available for kids 5 and up.
Itโs free.
It will protect you โขโขmuchโขโข better against the newest variants, which are hospitalizing people en masse.
Tell your less-online-than-you family, friends, neighbors. Publicity has been terrible.
1) Don't ask Black users to CW discussions of their own racism.
2) Don't be on a server where mods mistreat Black folk.
3) Support the mods on your own server, financially and otherwise.
4) Don't engage with sea lions that say "Mistreatment? Here? prove it!" There have been enough threads shared on Black folk receiving racism. Individually convincing each one is exhausting, and expecting that is a tactic of bad faith actors.
911 a joke in your city?

๐ด๐ป"A strike that's too effective, is bad for the economy. The government must step in to discourage this strike! A labor market that's too good for employees, is bad for the economy. The government must step in to weaken that labor market and drive up unemployment! Wait... did I just say all that out loud?! I mean... no fair! You're taking me out of context! Of course it sounds bad when you say it like that!"
And this is the democrats! ๐คก
@mekkaokereke @joseph fundamentally, a big problem with politics in the Anglozone seems to be that the mainstream left have, for decades, been conservatives in the sense that they broadly want to preserve the status quo, while the mainstream right have embarked on a revolutionary project to remake society.
Mainstream democrats - by which I mean those in power, not necessarily Democrat voters - genuinely would prefer the status quo to AOC. And it is baffling to them that the mainstream Republicans no longer go along with their conservatism.
I think this has been a big cause of the rise of the populist right - the status quo is pretty shitty for a lot of people and, as the right-wing project advances, has been getting worse. โWe promise not to make anything fundamentally better!โ isn't a great rallying call for anyone below the comfortable middle-class.
I'm sorry, but I still can't find an answer.
Can someone tell me why we keep asking the workers if a few sick days are worth shutting down the economy?
Shouldn't we instead be asking the railroad companies why they are threatening to destroy this country in order to deprive their workers of a few measley sick days?
