The state says,
"Labour Day" is in September
So the people won't remember
That corporations, cops, courts and politicians collude to dismember
The People
And yet,
We remember!

Happy Labour Day / May Day / International Workers' Day y'all!!!

If you live in Canada or the US you ought to have this day off.

Brian Merchant: Blood in the Machine (Hardcover, 2023, Little Brown & Company) 5 stars

The true story of what happened the first time machines came for human jobs, when …

Ned Ludd was right then, and he's right now

5 stars

A vividly told narrative of the Luddite uprisings of the early 19th Century. Brian Merchant expertly connects the struggles of textile workers then with workers of every stripe today whose jobs are continually under threat by the bosses using the smokescreen of technology.
