Trash piles up in Orange County as union goes on strike in solidarity with Boston workers

Jump

  • Striking helps, solidarity striking helps more, but wildcat strikes are the best.

    If you haven't heard of them, they're the reason the U.S. federal government started to recognize unions, but gave the caveat that unions had to announce they would strike.

    With wildcat strikes, there's no announcement, you just do it. It fucked with the upper class so much they recognized unions to outlaw wildcat striking.

    • What's a regional pronunciation of a word that seems normal to you but is weird to people from other parts of the country?

  • I live in the U.S., and my state capitol is spelled Pierre, but pronounced "peer".

    • How many of you microwave water for tea?

    Jump

  • If you're using distilled water there's not enough minerals in the water to start the boiling process before the temperature crosses 100 C because microwaves heat it up so fast.

    It also doesn't necessarily have to be distilled water, but the the closer it is to just H2O, the higher the chance this will happen.

  • I didn't grow up in Wyoming but it was a rural state in the U.S. People romanticize rural areas until they actually live in one. If if you have a large town nearby and and your wealthy, or at least upper middle class it might be ok, but I'd highly recommend staying where you are.

    It's not just the medical care, it's the culture. When you move to a rural area, if you aren't at least the 3rd generation you'll be looked at and treated as an outsider. That doesn't mean people will be hostile towards you, but you won't really be part of the community either.

    The entertainment, food, and shopping options are also be very limited.

    Edit: "recommend staying where you are"

  • It's always projection with the right wing. Whatever they're doing, or issues they have, say the left is doing it and has those issues.

  • Never said I hated children, but keep pushing your false narrative to feel good about yourself.

  • You don't know anyone who figures out their village before having kids...but childfree people are the selfish ones. Yeah, that makes sense.

  • Exactly this. People will have kids then expect other people to help out because "it takes a village". Fuck that, figure out who's willing to be in your village, THEN have kids.

  • Hello, I'm in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Even thought most of the state thinks we're basically NYC, it's definitely right wing town. Trying to get away from Reddit and a friend suggested checking out Lemmy.
