Today’s headline US Senate committee clears Boeing lawyer’s stalled NLRB nomination marks almost exactly 51 weeks since the Democrats alley-ooped the NLRB to the Republicans for a slam dunk. Here’s a reminder of how that happened (under Biden, too). Republicans keep swallowing political institutions whole in the U.S., and anyone who has their faith placed in the Democrats must be completely delusional, especially after the recent government shutdown disgrace.

I would say that now the U.S. is officially under corporate control (yes, I know it was before but I mean now it’s legally locked down), what with the NLRB and Supreme Court in the Republicans’ pocket. Labor doesn’t stand a chance anymore.

… Prove me wrong???

    Biden raised wages more than even pretty punishing inflation

    Well, you’re certainly willing to give him credit for workers leveraging the reduction in size of the workforce due to covid.

    This isn’t true, but by shifting the focus to this instead of the gains in the NLRB and labor issues specifically during Biden’s term

    You’re giving biden the lion’s share of the credit for work that union leaders put in just because he didn’t stand in their way all the time.
