I predict Dems pushing gun control for the 10,000th time and thinking it'll help Joe's reelection chances, lol.

Know what's really depressing... what may explain record warming this year was phase-out of sulfur fuel used in cargo ships 2020.

Sulfur emissions into the air kept warming lower than it should have been due to thr "global dimming" effect.

So, I guess in a way geoengineering is already occurring... it's just really reckless and unmanaged. Feels bad. 😞

(Serious) Why does the PRC ban labor unions? (hexbear.net)
 

Oh God, oh shit, I said I wasn't going to do it. I said I wasn't going to start a China struggle session. Already getting flashbacks to the Discord.

But something just doesn't sit right with me and wanted to get some clarification here...

My question is this: why does China ban labor organizing/unions?

Is this yikes/intentional/actually a good thing?

(Yeah, I do know that labor unions are not always unequivocally good and sometimes they act more like middle management than as representatives of the workers... but democratizing the workplace seems like a no-brainer for any socialist project.)

Thoughts?
