Financial hardship & stress causes an awful lot of problems, including being a major factor in divorce, which is definitely, statically speaking, really bad for kids. Housing insecurity and things like frequent moves between apartments

I occasionally get insight into what unions are and are not doing for some of my friends and their co-workers. A strong union seems to be great . For-sure various abusive or simply needlessly-shitty practices in their workplaces would carr

Teachers' union power varies a ton state-by-state. In mine, both our regional union and the NEA either can't, or choose not to, do anything, really, including in cases of blatant contract violations. I don't think they'r

Yeah, totally, I'm reinforcing your point. Fox News and conservative AM radio (which has many programs with a larger listenership than Democracy Now, I'm sure), not to mention places like Breitbart or OAN, portray unions negativ

They're also largely ignored by the supposedly-not-conservative parts of the media. You get a very different impression of unions (mainly, that they're not very active and/or barely exist) listening to NPR, versus Democracy N

The Wire? A bunch of stuff mentioned here: https://dismantlemag.com/2018/12/03/sorry-bother-you-pro-uni... They're not portrayed a ton in pop culture to begin with, and when they are it's often bad.

I was like "this isn't so bad" but then I got to the photo of all the mis-matched bizarre windows on one side, like someone totally screwed up editing a house in The Sims. Yikes. It looks like the architectural version of pai

Beating a corporate office, as far as the actual work space itself and if we're talking tech work, doesn't require much, is the thing. A small table with a monitor and keyboard and a pretty-good chair, tucked in a corner, is alrea

Hospitalization rate's somewhat higher, and last I checked vaccine drops that to like 10% the unvaccinated rate. That's not death, but being hospitalized isn't exactly fun, and can be damn expensive. Agreed that risk of death

Fox News took a shift toward more alarmism and a bolder, "holy shit things are happening!" look after 9/11[0]. My recollection is that it had another major shift—independent of other media, this time, which shared some of F
