I would love to be in Kyiv when the last Russian leaves Ukrainian soil. Holy hell, what a nation-wide party will be held! Afterwards, in honor of the fallen and the legacy of Jimmy Carter, I would to strap on a tool belt and help rebuild. #SlavaUkraini #DefendDemocracy #NATO #NAFOFella #JimmyCarter

But even massless energy can't get to the bottom of a black hole. Enter time dilation. The higher the energy state/the faster one moves, the slower time passes relative to the observer. From our perspective time stops within a black hole at the point were C is exceeded. And infinity is born.

I do not think American workers have a culture problem.

I do think American corporations have a culture problem.

Since 1978, CEO pay has skyrocketed 1,085%.
American workers are fed up and are saying
"enough."

Meanwhile, workers on H-1B visas have strict employment rules that limits their ability to leave their employers, which opens them up to exploitation: lower pay and more outrageous productivity goals.

This is about corporations squeezing every last penny out of anyone and anything they can.

The ruling class does not want working class Americans of all races, identities, and political affiliations talking to each other about our economic struggles. When that happens, Americans start to realize we are all being exploited in similar ways by the ruling class.
