“It’s intimate to talk about race and identity,” said Duff. “That
creates a vulnerability, and to have consultants come in and say, ‘Hey,

In 2011, Pratt Logistics opened a new plant in Pennsylvania. The company
brought in a man who only identified himself as an efficiency expert
named “Jay.” Jay went around conducting one-on-one interviews with
workers, asking them about what problems they faced, their values, and
concerns.
Later, when truckers and warehouse workers at Pratt began steps to
form a union at the new plant, the company instantly fired union
sympathizers. It wasn’t until later that they found out Jay’s real
identity: Jason Greer, the union suppression consultant, who had been
hired explicitly to identify potential union supporters.

This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
