by NoahHappy Labor Day!Let's not forget that too many of our fellow citizens have lost their jobs this year due to the cavalier psychopathy or sociopathy of those in Washington who work for wages paid out of my taxes and yours, even if we no longer have a job. As I write this at the beginning of the Labor Day Weekend, such lowlifes as those in the White House are touting a just received August jobs report that says the citizens of America gained over 1 million jobs last month. However, decent, moral people would not try to pass off American citizens going back to their jobs after months of being shut out of their workplace, as having gotten a "new job," especially when we are still 20,000,000 jobs in the hole if one bothers to look at the 40,000,000 jobs lost this year. Really, not even a "similar" job or one at reduced pay shouldn't count as a new job either. It's cynical and disingenuous to the max to not provide an honest context, but, republicans in Washington are known to say, "I really don't care, do you?" Yeah, Mr., Miss, or Mrs. Repug, I do care. Go ahead and call me a Marxist, a trouble maker, or whatever your favorite word of the week is but you, Mr., Miss, or Mrs. Repug can just go fuck off!I obviously chose tonight's meme because it reminds me that, as the school year begins, our teachers are facing a new danger this year; not one brought about due to the increase in violent weather due to ignored climate change dangers or the failure to act on gun safety issues, but because the mass murderer in the White House and his accomplices willfully chose to ignore the dangers indicated in early coronavirus reports that they had in their possession as early as December of 2019. Now our teachers are being asked to face yet another threat to their lives and the lives of their students and their families. Not only that, but our teachers are not even being given so much as an extra dime of hazard pay.
