This is Left Praxis, LIBERALS would never understand the 4d chess involved in how Trump winning helps Palestine and American minorities.

I had to Google what Right to Work meant to remind myself. I remembered it was some BS name for some stupid right wing rule, but forgot the detail. At first I came across international human rights meaning people are allowed to work for money, but I knew that wasn't it. Then I came across some countries where some immigrants don't have the right to work, and I knew that wasn't it, too literal, then I added the word state to my search and found what I was looking for - ah yes, in the good ol' US of A, "Right to Work" doesn't mean you have the right to work at all, it means a union and an employer DON'T have the right to make an agreement where the employer collects union funding fees from all employees. Can't let the unions get in the way of that good ol' wage suppression!

A more honest name for the law would be "Right To Work An Insecure job For Less Pay"

America just loves the line that "Anyone who wants to help you is obviously evil because everyone is out for themselves! It's a cover for fucking you over, that's why you can trust us when we say we're helping you by suppressing your rights!"
