We keep spendin most our lives living in a jester's paradise
-
Oh damn that's good
-
i think my family uses jester's privilege on me, nothing i say matters in general
-
to have that privilege you should be able to talk and mock freely without being punished, but...

Union organizers and other labor activists still get blacklisted, harassed and propagandized against by larger industries/capital. It's an evolved form of the "red-list" that existed all the way up until the 90s. A friend of mine had their father put on that list back in the day and basically was unable to find a job for close to two decades.

It goes both ways. I ran a restaurant in a very small chain, it needed a small exterior wall repair and the guy who oversaw all five locations hired his brother in law to do it, the BIL was a contractor and did it cheap, it was a small job. The next week I was told by a couple of my regular customers that they couldn't come back to eat there because we got blacklisted for hiring non-union workers. As a GM I'm supposed to drive sales through good product and service - and I did! But that was out of my control and honestly made me less friendly towards unions. I've tried to get union jobs, that's less than 5% of jobs in my area and I've never gotten one. That standard is still ridiculous to me. Why the fuck would you blacklist a company for not hiring union workers when all of their employees aren't uniion and are making slave wages, and no one can actually get union jobs? I know huge corporate America is doing okay, but the common man can't afford anything extra right now.
