Imagine an Organization that united every union in America and actively worked to unionize every job in America.

Imagine if union dues went to a single national pot, accruing billions a year to pay for whole industry wide strikes.

Imagine if the Organization had a Political Party Officiate that to fight for leftwing economic/socialist policies and with members being signed up for both at the same time.

This is the fear that capitalists worry about, they know that if we united not only would we be able to demand better pay and benefits, but that we'd take over Local, State and Federal legislatures.

The constitution is a capitalist constitution, our ultimate goal should be to get control of 38 states, and hold a constitutional convention and change this country into a socialist nation.

A nation where private ownership of business is abolished in favor of worker owned co-ops.

A nation where private property is abolished and the government owns and rents at the bare minimum for upkeep.

A nation where there is a maximum difference in how much the lowest and highest paid person can be in the same company.

A nation with free and universal healthcare, childcare, higher education, public transportation.

A nation where the car centric infrastructure is torn down and replaced by trains, Trollies, busses, bikes and sidewalks.

A nation that taxes the rich at 95% forces them to sell their stocks, and exiles those who refuse to comply with the wealth redistribution.

Lastly a nation where democracy is proportional thus skewed towards the working class and not FPTP!

If you don't pay off your monthly credit card statement in full you will have to pay 25% interest until its paid off, not fun. So instead as a fail safe, I created 2 cashapp accounts, 1 attacked to my checking account for my bank, and 1 attached to my credit card.

Preamble We are in the midst of a Gerrymandering war, and it seems to me that the simple solution would be to switch from FPTP to Proportional. Current politicians should want it because they wouldn't have to survive primaries anymore and be able to keep their seats in the party or be influential in the new party structure. Citizens should want it because it would break apart the 2 party system, make every vote count, and finally make us represented.

The Amendment

Section 1- The legislatures of the several states shall be unicameral and elected therein by a system of proportionality where the number of seats a political party gets in the legislature is equal to the proportional share of the votes. All local councils wherein the total number of residents is greater than or equal to One-Hundred-Thousand, or where the number of elected legislative officials is equal to or greater to Twenty-Five shall also be required to have proportional elections.

Section 2- The election of the House of Representatives in the United States federal government shall no longer have seats be apportioned to each state on account of population, the house will henceforth be starting during the next election be elected via a single vote where eligible voters will vote for a party and the parties will get the total number of seats proportional to the total number of votes received. The total number of seats for the house will be set at One-Thousand.

Section 3- Each of the state legislatures shall hold an election amongst themselves where members of the state legislature who are Thirty years of age or older may put their name in contention for election to the senate, each member of the state legislature will then cast a ballot where they rank each candidate from most to least preferred, if no person wins a majority of first preference votes then the candidate with the least number of first preference votes will be out of the running and the second preference of their votes will be added to the total, so on and so forth until one candidate reaches a majority. In the event of deadlock the Governor of the state will break the tie.

Section 4- Each state shall be required to register every citizen over the age of 18 to vote automatically and shall provide free of charge a voter identification card is identification is required to vote by state law, and no person shall be removed from the voter rolls unless proof of death, change in residency or revocation of citizenship.

TIL that I must share with yall.

If you go to google docs, then Tools > Preferences > Substitutes you can add one at time a shortcut.

For example if you want to type other currencies other than the dollar you can put UK$ = £ to always get £ or EU$ = € to always get €

Once you find it it's hard to stop, and can make things SO easy,

Also Tools > Preferences allows you to turn off things like auto capitalize for new lines.

When you are creating your resume, you don't need to put every random job you've ever had. What companies do is they look at your jobs on the resume, and at most call the employer and ask them if you worked for them and how you did at the job.

There is no way for a non government employee to know if you worked other jobs. Keep off any jobs that you worked at for less than 2 years and use every skill you learned as a skill for your resume.

Nothing hurts your resume more than having 3 or 4 jobs in a span of 2 years because it shows you are unreliable.

Statehood & Autonomy Fight to get congress to vote to make the city council fully independent from congress without the ability to override laws or the budget.

Proportional Representation Change the voting system to proportional where the percentage of the vote = percentage of seats. Also up the number of seats to 50.

Labor rights Create a labor court where you can challenge getting fired without cause and if you win they have to reinstate you and pay 1.5X of the missed time.

Minimum of 10 days PTO per year.

Employees have a right to not be disturbed outside of work. If the employer wants to talk they must pay them a minimum of 1 hour per phone call or task.

Employees must be given consistent hours, and schedule any change without the consent are grounds for mandatory severance pay.

Require rules be enforced equally against everyone or it is unlawful termination. Logs must be kept of every disciplinary action to prove if they go to court.

Modernize and put things online -Make the DC websites easier to use -Move 90% of the DMV online and let them print IDs in office.

Enforcing fines Make it policy to tow and impound all cars with over 1K in fines. Have a special MPD and Metro Transit police task force to go after and arrest anyone with over 1K in unpaid fines. Bring them to court, they will have their vehicle held for a month if they don't pay the vehicle will be sold, if its not enough they will be held in contempt in jail until its paid by someone or until 1 year has passed.

House the homeless Create more homeless housing so we can get them off the street.

Enforcement and prevention of gate hopping Put an automatic siren that goes off if 2 people go though the same gate. 10 foot barriers with spikes

That's all really because this city is hands down the best place I've lived in the country

During this years Canvas a group of us worked on a project to have EU or European flags surround the European Union flag. All was going well until a few individuals wanted to start acting like little shits and intentionally adding non European flags to the group.

They replaced Hungary with Ukraine which whatever just rebuild it elsewhere. Then they started putting Canada, South Africa, Brazil, Esperanto on the mural. Once we finally got Hungary back on the board, they started to intentionally mess up the flag over virtue signaling politics when these same people admitted they don't even participate in their own countries democratic system.

The Simple solution

All these people had to do was put a different EUROPEAN flag that wasn't already on in the place of Hungary and no one would have cared, but they demanded on intentionally trying to fuck the whole thing up.

Drama

We ended up going back and forth for hours, and they refused such ideas as Scotland, I also tried Armenia, Georgia anything that was actually in Europe and then tried to say these countries were Asian not European. It got heated and they kicked us a few times. In the end they forced the ugly compromise keeping their stupid little flowers and grass on the board.

Conclusion

This whole ordeal explains perfectly why we're in the mess we are in today, to many Gen Y and Gen Z would rather show "look at me I am a good person I stand for X/Y/Z" instead of actually trying to make real change. These people don't vote, don't get involved with politics, yet they will protest for months, come on these little projects and try and prove a point.

The people acting like Brazil which had legally mandated "race democracy" until the 1980s was a better choice than Hungary or any other actual European country that wasn't added already, same with the clowns putting South Africa. They couldn't let things be but they'll talk about how "I don't want to vote for this person who's way less awful but not perfect"

So congratulations you messed up the mural for the EU the most successful international organization that has brought peace, prosperity, democracy and human rights to a whole continent because you wanted to look like a good person without any knowledge of the history of why the country is the way it is.

The Fediverse Passport would be the central account for all users on the Fediverse.

How it would work

a. Upon signing up for the a platform on the Fediverse the user would be redirected to the "Create your Passport" You would create your unique username. Once signed up you would then have an account on every platform connected to the Fediverse.

b. If someone friends/follows you on one platform they would automatically follow you on all platforms. Insuring that communities and friends could stay connected across platforms.

c. The passport for the user would show your feed on all platforms and allow you to selected which platform you want to see your feed from, also allowing you to directly search your content so you could find a post for whatever reason you need.

d. For the subscriber it would show them your feed and allow them to easily find your content.

e. Tons of customization options including the ability to monetize and or set a subscription fee for the video, blogging, and other "arts" platforms.

Safe Guards

You would be allowed to set your privacy setting to, Public, Subscribers Only, Approve Subscribers, Mutual Friends only, Private (Requires link)

Benefit

Would allow stream less interaction across the whole Fediverse and really get it going. No more having to create a different account on each platform and now you can claim an identity and keep track of your communities, also each site would directly help "advertise" the others.

Example, Lemmy.ml and Lemmy.world have duplicate communities aren't connected at all. So we are artificially isolating groups more and making it confusing for would be converts.

Short and too the point

When you get a new phone or tablet or computer you should charge it to ~80% and then wait until it's below 20% before charging again. This will protect the battery life. Basically leaving your phone charging overnight slowly breaks your battery because it's constantly being stuck on maximum capacity straining the internal structure of the battery.

Keeping your devices on WiFi also helps greatly increase the time before the next change

If we created workers guilds for every industry we'd be a workers and middle class paradise that the boomers could only have dreamed of during the 40 years between FDR and Ronald Rump.

1. Monopolization of labor- The guild would control the supply of workers for the specific industry that means they could determine how many are needed and train/certify accordingly to keep wages high.

2. Standardized Training- If guilds controlled industries they would be able to require a training academy that prospects must pass before becoming a member of the guild this makes sure that everyone is at a high standard and that the standard is equal. Keeping pay high.

3. Guaranteed Decent Wages- It goes without saying if Bob wants to start a business but needs to get employees from the guild they will pay what the guild demands they pay since they won't have a business otherwise.

4. Guaranteed Pension Plan- With 100s of thousands or millions of people in the same guild they could simply require the employer put 5% of the pay into a savings account that gets interest and after 20 or 25 years working in the industry you will be paid by the guild for the rest of your life, and the interest will be more than the payments, this would also open up the job market for young adults who would be seeing people leave the work force in their 40s.

5. Defacto End to At Will Firing This one is simple, the business would be required to sign a contract where they would be required to prove the employee broke a rule in arbitration which the guilds would pay for that would give us defacto employment court just like eviction court.

Guilds are the key to Utopia

Scrambled To get perfect scrambled eggs regardless of what you like with it, the most important thing is to constantly stir your eggs in a small pot, I add a ton of a lot of butter but you don't have to, stir until the eggs start to thicken and once all the liquid egg is gone its perfect.

Fried Use a stainless steel pan, wait until it starts to smoke or about 2.5 minutes on high heat (Turn on the fan or the smoke detector will go off) then turn it to medium put a decent amount of oil into the pan spread it around and crack your eggs into the pan. Let them cook for about 30 seconds or until the eggs stop sticking, and then flip them over wait about 15 seconds and then remove them from the pan, you'll have a crispy golden brown white with a runny yoke.

Boiled Being a pot of water to a boil, cook 5 minutes for soft (Cooked white runny yoke), 7.5 for medium (molasses consistency) , 10 for hard, then immediately put it in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking.

Poached Get a pot of water boiling, put a splash of vinegar if you have it, and then crack your egg into a big cooking spoon or ladle, spin the water and drop it in wait till the egg yoke is fully cooked about 3-5 minutes.

Be the star of your next family breakfast.

If Maryland made a special constitutional amendment that could only be changed by a vote of the people of DC and they granted

1. Total self governance, DC can make and enforce and laws and taxes it wants within the city, and doesn't have to follow laws or taxes of Maryland.
2. All Licenses and certifications will be accepted from Maryland to DC and DC to Maryland
3. DC will be its own congressional district, its own electoral college district and have its own districts for the state house and senate, with a rule that it will never be split up or become a minority of another district.

I ask this because I've recently gotten into creating a union for my work place and noticed that North America is really the only place where a Labor or workers party never took off.

It would be probably be doable to unite the unions into a political party similar to the UK Labour party after the world wars. The major point is, is that the party would have to be purely an economic party with each individual member deciding for themselves how to vote on social issues.
