modern-politics111:Read and be pissedMy dickbag US Rep campaigned that Medicare for All would undermine the health insurance plans that ~unions negotiated for~, as if our contracts aren’t held hostage every goddamned time we’re back at the table. And bullshit like this is what makes me so mad about calling insurance and pensions and PTO ‘benefits’ … as if our bosses are beneficient lords granting us liberties out of their own chivalrous hearts, instead of the reality: we have chosen to accept part of our compensation as services instead of hourly pay. We fucking buy that shit with our own time. And frankly? I am fcking giddy at the prospect of what my hourly wages would be if we stopped butting our heads into a brick wall over a health care plan that gets worse and worse each fucking contract. Rhetoric matters as much as facts matter. -- source link
