Full title: BREAKING: Bernie Sanders just introduced the Guaranteed Paid Vacation Act — a bill to guarantee at least two weeks of paid vacation to every full-time worker in America. Over 90 other members of Congress have already signed on to the legislation.
This is how America works.
Capitalists grind workers beneath their boots.
Workers finally have enough and push back.
Capitalists offer workers meager concessions that they will try to take away again later.
And it’s not just a capitalist/worker dynamic, it plays out elsewhere too, like DNC/progressives or cops/black communities. The Battle of Los Angeles is a great example of this - a black-lead uprising was burning the city down and repatriating goods from capitalists, and it was defused by offering to form a commission which ultimately did nothing. (Not to frame the ‘riots’ as purely a good thing though, they were disorganized and understandably enraged so some small businesses and innocent bystanders were harmed too. But it’s an inevitable result of how the US Empire exploits those who live on the land it stole.)
