→ Why BIG decisions need BIG support – share 2-minute video

𝗢𝗡𝗟𝗬 𝗔 𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗩𝗢𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗫𝗜𝗧

Big decisions need big support. That’s surely something we’ve learnt following the fiasco of #Brexit that most of the electorate never supported.
Let’s look at it this way.

Say you’re the boss of a company with 100 employees. You let the staff vote on whether the firm should move to a new location.

▪ 37 staff voted yes,
▪ 35 staff voted no,
▪ 28 didn’t vote (many staff weren’t sure)

What happens when you give a group of Luddites the ability to say “No”? Well, @DoombergT answers.

Q: Why is nuclear energy messed up in the US?
A: The NRC, but if you dig deeper you find their regulatory warrant comes from LNT (no safe dose), the keystone for their bad policy twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The reason why I left the nuclear industry is because I didn’t want to deal with the battered wife syndrome that the nuclear industry has due to the NRC. There is a strong desire to change, but there is a fear of artificial dependence. The best way to deal with it, leave.
Yes, I have PhD in nuclear engineering and in 2018 had just invented what was to become Natrium. I chose not to publish, patent, or promote my creation. This was not a decision I took lightly.

A #strike is a withdrawal of labour by a worker, often under the instruction of a trade union.

Strikes have been happening since the workers at the Royal Necropolis at Deir el-Medina in Egypt organised an uprising in 1152 BC over late wages.

worldhistory.org/article/1089/t…
British industrial action has a much shorter, but turbulent, history. There were withdrawals of labour in the medieval & early modern periods, although these were organised by small groups of craft workers in contravention of legislation such as the Statute of Artificers (1563).
Between 1696-1720s, the Journeymen of Feltmakers negotiated with employers & occasionally called strikes. London tailors did much the same from the 1720s, but the Combination Acts prevented workers combining in a trade union, prohibited such action, & wages were fixed by statute.

מחאת המשאיות 🚛🚚 - מה קורה בממלכת #ירדן? 🇯🇴⛽
מה הסיפור ואיך הכל התחיל?
לאחרונה, עלו מחירי הדלק במדינה.
בשנת 2012 היו שתי העלאות במחירי ה #דלק. ההעלאה השנייה (10%) שהייתה אמורה להעלות את המחיר לליטר לדינר (כ1.4$ בזמנו) הוציאה את הירדנים לרחובות וכמעט והופלה הממשלה. >>
ב2012 ההחלטה הושעתה ע"י המלך והסערה שקטה, לבינתיים.
באמצע דצמבר 2022 שוב התקבלה החלטה להעלאת מחירי הדלק אלא שהפעם מחיר הדלק הוא כבר 5 דינר לליטר מאחר וירדן כבר אינה מסוגלת לסבסד את הדלק. מסיבה זו, המלך #עבדאללה השני לא יכול לעצור את ההעלאה במחי החלטה כמו בפעם הקודמת. >>
עם משכורת ממוצעת של הרבה פחות מ2000 ש''ח העלאה כזאת היא בלתי אפשרית עבור הירדני הפשוט.
נהגי המשאיות, הנפגעים הראשונים מעליית המחירים, לא מסוגלים לעמוד בזה. פשוט לא משתלם להם להיכנס למשאית ולהניע.
כאן חשוב לזכור ולהזכיר ש #ירדן תלויה במשאיות כמו אוויר לנשימה.
רק שני שדות תעופה >>

Allan Pinkerton was born #OTD in 1819 in Glasgow, Scotland. He headed the Union Intelligence Service during the Civil War and helped lay the foundation for the U.S. Secret Service, FBI, and CIA. He also founded the famed Pinkerton National Detective Agency, which still exists.
Pinkerton emigrated to United States 1842 and founded a cooperage in Dundee, Illinois, just outside of Chicago. He became an abolitionist and operated a safe house for fugitive enslaved people on the Underground Railroad.
Pinkerton was appointed as the first Chicago police detective in 1849 after uncovering a counterfeit scheme. He founded what would become the Pinkerton National Detective Agency in 1850. The Pinkerton Agency specialized in investigating train robberies.

For the first time, the National News Agency (NNA) will not be publishing any news other than a single article published early Thursday morning, as its employees go on #strike to pressure for their demands.

In an interview with Megaphone, NNA journalist Huda Zbeeb said that the employees are demanding an improvement of their salaries and the approval of the tenure file.

She added they decided to go on #strike because "salaries are very low, and we have not received transportation allowance for 4 months," let alone the poor working conditions and equipment.

As someone who opposes Islamophobia, why should I vote strategically for a party that drafted a dog-whistle bill around it or that voted for it, over the NDP who didn't?

#Islamophobia #Elxn44 #cdnpoli
As someone who supports labour organizing, why would I vote strategically for a party who doesn't want to strengthen labour laws to support workers during strikes and lockouts, when the NDP does?

As someone who wants trade deals that are good for Canada and Canadian workers and don't contain harmful ISDs and respect our sovereignty, why would I vote strategically for any party who undermines that? #trade #cdnecon #Elxn2021

Some farmworker movement history for #CesarChavezDay: In 1955 Filipino Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee went on strike. 8 days later, the Latino National Farmworkers Association voted to join the strike (led to UFW)

The UFW strike was broad, not simply about 1 leader 🧵
Unionists like Larry Itliong & Philip Vera Cruz were socialists. They knew in order to win the strike, they had to break the bosses’ division of workers across racial groups - unite around class. Their leadership w/Dolores Huerta & Cesar Chavez broke decades of boss tactics #UFW
The solidarity clap that many of us use in movements today was created by the farmworkers, who spoke different languages, as a signal to stop working, walk off the fields, and STRIKE. It starts slow, then gets louder, faster, like their heartbeats, into a universal rally cry #UFW

🇮🇱Israeli Strikes Target #Iranian Oil Bound for Syria
Campaign against ships, using mines, shows an expansion of hostilities in the Mideast.
wsj.com/articles/israe…
#Israel has targeted at least a dozen vessels bound for Syria and mostly carrying #Iranian oil out of concern that petroleum profits are funding extremism in the Middle East, 🇺🇸U.S. and regional officials say, in a new front in the conflict between Israel and Iran.
Since late 2019, Israel has used weaponry including water mines to #strike Iranian #vessels or those carrying Iranian cargo as they navigate toward Syria in the Red Sea and in other areas of the region.

#RedArchives - To kick off this week's theme of 'revolutionary women', we re-publish this article from 2018 on the Dagenham machinists' strike of 1968, an event which became a turning point in the fight for equality. #IWD2021 #IWD #Marxism #Socialism

socialist.net/the-dagenham-m…
The Dagenham strike was not the first such strike, and it would certainly not be the last. However, by standing up against bosses, union officials, and even other workers, they would send a message that has stood the test of time and inspires still. #IWD2021 #IWD #Strike Image

按照 #比特币 目前价格超过3.3万美元计算

搞评:只要比特币存在于世,定价权在中国(政府+权贵+矿主)手上 ImageImageImage
#比特币 #Bitcoin 去年3月最低跌破5千,美国总统选举11月3日1.4万,大选争议中却暴涨,21年1月3日最高价达3.4万,2个月翻一倍还多,只要告知买入,即能合法赚大钱且匿名隐蔽,是最佳跨国行贿手段
1月6日前更是决定美国总统胜负关键,若没结果,还有1月20,结果若定,疯牛行情就没必要了 ImageImage
任何价格走势接近45度角倾斜时,背后一定事出有因,只在于你知不知道而已。

when it comes to engaging #STEM #academics (an essential task in order to gain max momentum to tackle problems like #casualisation), i think 1 difficulty is that #activism uses a lot of logical fallacies. this makes taking action appear irrational 1/15

#AcademicChatter #ucu
examples:
people going on #strike = potential bandwagon fallacy

stories of injustice = anecdote, appeal to emotion

statistics = potentially cherry picked

calling out management = potential ad hominem

quoting/critiquing management = potential strawman
2/15
identifying an issue (e.g. casualisation) and claiming it impacts other issues (e.g. mental health problems) = potential false cause, and/or hasty generalisation fallacy

making broad statements (e.g. gender pay gap is a real problem) = ambiguity fallacy
