More than 2,500 Starbucks workers are on strike. They’re demanding dignity: fair pay, safe conditions, a contract that respects their labor.
It’s time their voices are heard at the same volume as CEOs earning millions.

"Funnier" part of all this is/was when someone said to your face they were voting/voted for it, because "inmigrants", then looked at you/your partner and said "but is not about you". Of course it is. Half of the times I was told this... I was in MY country. Then "it was not about xenophobia". Ha!

They want the EU/MSs to look the other way while they live illegally here and without paying taxes.
I wonder how they view illegal immigrants that don’t pay taxes in the UK. Not favourable I would imagine. It is entitlement. Some of them can’t even see it.

Two nice companion pieces on Brexit and where UKG is at.
It is not pretty reading.
It very much appears as if Labour are past the point of no return on Europe, and of not being returned by voters.
On Político's firstly, you get a clear sense that leaving 🇪🇺 is a tremendously bad Idea.

This is an unusual and thought-provoking analysis of the US economy (both the figures and the psychological response) that may well apply more widely. Definitely worth reading.
This is a fabulous read. The figures might be specific to the USA, but the principle applies wherever neocapitalism has been applied. Read it, and feel it in your bones.

A new decade-long Brexit study explains it:
a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.
Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.
