“The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth and truth be defamed as a lie, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world — and the category of truth versus falsehood is among the mental means to this end — is being destroyed.” — Hannah Arendt, “Truth and Politics”, The New Yorker, (25 February 1967)

Demand for hazard pay spreads on West Coast. Kroger threatens closures -
By Scott Scheffer
There are corporate-sponsored billboards atop buildings and along the highways, from Times Square in New York City to the freeways of Los Angeles, thanking and honoring frontline workers for putting themselves in harm’s way during the pandemic.

On this day, 1 March 1962, rioting broke out at the Mt Bentinck sugar factory in Georgetown, St Vincent, after British colonial police tried to bring in non-union scabs from other districts. Factory workers had walked out demanding paid holidays, and were joined by cane cutters – many of whom were women – who were demanding a union closed shop system on the plantation. The manager eventually agreed a settlement as it was costing too much to bring in scabs from elsewhere. However the owner of the estate rejected the agreement, and instead decided on 12 March to close down the factory.
