A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

Blows my mind that flight crews don’t get pay or only half pay at the gates. They’re uniformed and very visibly working before the door closes.
They’re doing safety checks for a voyage of hundreds of people paying $200k+ combined, unpaid, even when in a CA airport. Bonkers.
If they get a good captain they can trigger what looks like a door closure in the system during boarding so everyone is getting paid.

why do they have to do that and not actually pay people for their time at work?
Capitalism. The reasoning was the employees get to travel the world.
l couldn't tell you, that's been procedure for decades
it's a historical union thing
Nice!
