I just realized that the big tech corporations that own the most advanced and convincing AI robots are the wealthiest and most conservative.  Aren’t liberals  duped losers already?

An article by Jane McAlevey in the July 10/17 The Nation reminds us that hope for a turn-around may exist in nationwide negotiations by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the United Auto Workers (UAW), following revitalized teachers’ unions in Chicago and Los Angeles that shone light on the impact of privatization, tax breaks to corporations,  real estate developers and the rich, which have been draining resources from public education, affordable housing, and key social services.

The Federal Reserve’s tendency to suggest that the main driver of inflation is workers’s wage growth instead of executive compensation and stock paybacks enables a two-tiered structure of political and economic power and the two-tiered economy that we are experiencing.  (More than two thousand dollars to attend a show?  Who are these people?)

How many squabbling diversions of attention there are in each day’s headlines, detracting from the clarity and understanding of our two-tiered system!  The Teamsters President Sean O’Brien and UAW president Shawn Fain have signaled  their intention to “show a better, fairer and more just country–starting in the workplace.”
