          He started pushing for worker friendly regulations and enabling general strikes before he was assassinated.

          Executive Order 10988 is a United States presidential executive order issued by President John F. Kennedy on January 17, 1962 that granted federal employees the right to collective bargaining. This executive order was a breakthrough for public sector workers, who were not protected under the 1935 Wagner Act. Passage of the executive order forestalled the legislative Rhodes-Johnson Union Recognition bill, which would have given more power to federal employee unions, possibly creating a union shop arrangement. Executive Order 10988 was effectively replaced by President Richard Nixon’s Executive Order 11491 in 1969.

          MLK was also pushing for a general strike before he was assassinated.

          JFK flipped on the mob (who claims they killed him, but they are known for saying stuff) he wanted to shut down the CIA and possibly the FBI, He was clearing out the nut parade in the joint cheifs who were seriously suggesting to a WWII war hero that maybe indiscriminately bombing the US as a pretext to war was a great idea! He was also making in roads with Russia behind the scenes, and he had signed the withdraw papers to end The Vietnam War by the time he was assassinate. I don’t know who killed him, but I can tell you it was a busy week for the large amount of people that would greatly benifit from his sudden demise.

      Apparently, during the last Trump administration the pharmacy at the White House handed Adderall out like candy to all the staffers. Every accusation is a confession.

        Seriously, was he not a good guy not that long ago? Either he wasn’t and I wasn’t paying enough attention to the man, or he was and I’ve missed something where he changed.

          He’s known for his work as an anti pollution lawyer, helping poor communities get justice from big corporations. He’s also known for believing + spreading vaccine disinformation and various other already debunked conspiracy theories. Probably a good guy to know on a personal level because he cares about people, but still not someone that you want to have in charge of policy making because he’s a gullible tool.

            He advised Somoa to not take a vaccine… and they had an outbreak (surprise). Things went downhill from there… he doubled down and took the crazy path.

              He’s been in the news cycle a lot lately for bonkers ideas. It’s genuinely concerning that he is in control of health policy and its almost a certainty that his bonkers ideas will cost many lives. This is the view of thousands of doctors that signed a petition in opposition to his appointment.

                I’ve noticed that, that he’s in the news much more. I think that’s why I’m just now catching up. He’s not someone who really interested me much, so I would listen to just snippets before.

    republicans are silent on this. groceries cheaper yet?

    defunding huge amount of government agencies. where is that money going? into the economy? or musk and trumps pockets?

    why do republicans support giving even more money to the wealthy at the detriment of the rest of the country?

    I’m going to create these wellness farms where they can go to get off of illegal drugs, off of opiates, but also illegal drugs, other psychiatric drugs, if they want to, to get off of SSRIs, to get off of benzos, to get off of Adderall, and to spend time as much time as they need — three or four years if they need it — to learn to get reparented, to reconnect with communities

    Yes I too read A Scanner Darkly dipshit. I’m absolutely sure you can’t wait to send people to the New-Path farming commune so that you can profit off of their altered state in hopes that “one day” they’ll be able to rejoin society.

    What a fucking dipshit. They just all honest to god want modern slaves. Like good god, there’s no veil to it any longer, they just want free fucking labor.

      Don’t worry, they’ll make sure to “protect” your loved ones if you keep working hard. Protect from what, you ask? Well, just keep working hard and you won’t need to worry about it.
