Keep in mind, Amazon workers rely on food stamps while Amazon posts record profits.
When corporations like Amazon and Walmart don’t pay their workers enough to live, and those workers are then forced to rely on government subsidies like food stamps to survive, you the taxpayer are essentially paying their wage ON BEHALF of that corporation.
That should make you very, very angry at the corporation that’s screwing both you AND the worker whose tab you’re forced to pick up.
On this day, 15 August 1911, prison vans containing 90 of those convicted for involvement in the Liverpool transport general strike were attacked as they made their way down Vauxhall Road to Walton Jail. The convoy was being escorted by 32 men from the cavalry unit the 18th Hussars, yet bottles and bricks were thrown at the soldiers and rioters grabbed the reins of the horses. The Hussars opened fire on the crowd and two men were killed. On the corner of Hopwood Street and Vauxhall Road, John Sutcliffe, 20, a carter, was shot twice in the head. A docker, Michael Prendergast, 29, was shot in the chest at close range by a soldier. Three other men suffered gunshot wounds during the fighting.

On this day, 14 August 1944, 29-year-old Italian resistance partisan Irma Bandiera, aka ‘Mimma’, was murdered by the Nazis. They had blinded her and tortured her for seven days, however she refused to give up the names of her comrades. Her body was then dumped in the street outside her parent’s house. Today there is a street named after her in her native Bologna. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1500737263444752/?type=3
Stuff like this makes me want to ban all liberals from interacting with me. How the hell are you going to try to silence people criticizing OBAMA because “we need to vote for whoever is better, who cares if they’re not exactly perfect?” Like Obama isn’t running? The fuck?
Liberals, please learn that Democrats fuck up, they do bad things, and people have a right to call them out on it and to want them held accountable. Stop silencing anyone who isn’t a centrist!
These are the people who expect us to believe that they’ll hold Biden accountable when he’s in office, but they won’t even let people hold Obama accountable after he’s retired lmfao
