If the company gives you a hard time about wanting to have your attorney review the document, ask them if they had their attorney review it, and if so, why they feel they are due legal representation but you are not. Don't give them an inch.

So apparently some companies are trying to put policies in place to reduce employees' pay by the amount provided to employees by the likely soon to be passed federal stimulus package

If you are asked to sign something like this by your employer, tell them you'll sign it after your attorney reviews it

I am not an attorney, but I can tell you it smells like a bullshit tactic and it should not be allowed to happen, so if you have any ability to push back, please do, on behalf of yourself and the many workers who will not be able to push back for whatever reason

hold the fuck on. you're saying that google, the advertising company that pioneered the current wave of extracting as much "harmless" data from everyone as possible in order to more effectively market toothpaste to people based on racial profiling, and exists solely due to profits from said advertising... doesn't value my privacy

Folks, you really need to understand the level of precautions needed to keep healthcare workers safe during this crisis. Look at what the healthcare workers you know are getting: nothing even CLOSE to these steps. But this is what we ACTUALLY KNOW to be effective, based on experience in China. This is where we need to be. Ask yourself why the government is failing at this basic, basic stuff:

"we can't have price controls because we need people to invest"

expropriate that wealth. give it to projects experts recommend. the investors shouldn't have it in the first place.

All this talk about helping out people who just lost their work recently and *very* little talk of helping people who didn't have any damn work to begin with

Trump doesn't need to flip young people, he just needs them not to show up. The DNC has done most of the work there, they can pretty much just runs ads of that clip of Joe Biden saying "I have no empathy for young people" over and over on Twitch and YouTube and kill youth turnout.

cultivate empathy. cultivate radicalism. build community. listen.

Steampunk without commentary on the exploitative machinations of imperialism is not steampunk.

Cyberpunk without commentary on capitalism's efforts to buy the world out from under us is not cyberpunk.

Solarpunk without commentary on how to grow a brighter future for everyone instead of submitting to gloom is not solarpunk.

These three make a trifecta of how capitalism took over, what can happen if it continues, and how to prevent it from doing so. What was, is, and still could be.

The correct response to price gouging is eye gouging.

While we're all focused on the Corona crisis the US government is quietly pushing an internet #surveillance bill that is aimed at abolishing message encryption:

We should probably pay attention to this and spread awareness even if we are not American: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/03/earn-it-bill-governments-not-so-secret-plan-scan-every-message-online
