America is a slave nation. The higher ups own the wage slaves.
Its not white vs black, its rich vs poor.
Soon you'll be getting whipped for stepping out of line.
No whipping, bad optics
Tazer hands however
Por que no los dos
No one can serve two masters.
Those at the top always make sure those before them have someone to punch down so their eyes never land on the true problem.
Hmmm wonder who voted those Republicans in…
They should have to work a month in the most extreme weather they are stating its now ok to work in before its allowed to be passed.
Man... I think it would be hilarious if a democratic president created a "doge" like organization, except instead of blanket cutting the government, they just explicitly cut exactly what each politician chose to cut for normal people. IE everyone who voted for this, has the AC turned off in their office and is banned from the water cooler.
There have been calls here for legislators to be forced to live an elderly care home for a week. It sadly hasn't happened.
Getting ahead of the coming climate crisis i see
Same shit that leads to all the lettuce causing people to shit their brains out...
No adequate breaks or facilities, so they end up with far less than sanitary decisions.
At the end of the day if it's feed your family by shitting in the field rather than be homeless many choose to shit in the field.
I thought the lettuce problem was literal slave labor (forcing prisoners to work for pennies a day).
~~This is LIKELY referring to a texas law that was advanced 3 years ago banning local governments from implementing their own health and safety laws.~~

~~This post implies that it was done at the federal level, since it uses a picture of Johnson, the speaker of the US House of Reps.~~
~~I'd like to see any evidence that this is being done at the national level. Texas is it's own subset of dumbfuckery.~~
~~in before - "Well, it just shows what could happen" no -- we don't need to lie to imply falsehoods to exaggerate what's actually happening. There's plenty of bullshit out there that we don't need to make it up.~~
edit: See Folstar's comment below - I was not up to date on the shenanigans happening at the federal level.
I really like the cut of your jib, but you may have missed - https://www.hipaajournal.com/house-committee-advances-bill-preventing-osha-heat-standard/
Thank you, I did miss that.
The rich have always fucked over the poor. 12 hour work days, payment in company scrip instead of USD, no breaks, etc etc. It's always been bad. It will continue to be bad so long as they're in charge.
They want a excuse for a civil war or what?
A community to satirize conservtive and right-wing "ideals".
This community (now) exists as a pressure valve, a place to process through humor the often frustrating world of conservative politics. Above all, this is NOT the place for serious conservative support/viewpoints/arguments. There are other places on Lemmy for that if you desire it.
Always follow .world instance rules
Parody With Purpose: This is a space for humorous takes on conservative politics. We welcome satire, but draw the line at content that promotes racism, sexism, homophobia, or other forms of bigotry.
Memes Over Manifestos: This community focuses on humor and parody, not serious political debate. There are plenty of spaces for earnest conservative discussion, this isn’t one of them.
Highlight Contradictions: Sometimes the best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.
Public Figures Fair Game: Politicians and pundits can be satirized, but no targeting of private individuals, doxxing, or harassment.
Children of public figures under the age of 14 are also off-limits, a 16 year old has enough free agency to break with or adopt their parents views. An 8 year old kid doesn't.
No News Zone: Memes only, news or other serious content should be sent to the nearest relevant comm. Meme's of current events, however, are encouraged.
Clear Satire: Make your satirical intent reasonably clear. We’re here to mock bad ideas, not accidentally spread them. If you're unsure how it will be taken, feel free to DM the mod team ahead of time or explicitly tag it as satire in the body.
A note on ChadMcTruth: Chad's content is 100% satire, but his work can sometimes be hard to tell, but if he posted it be assured, its satire.
For more general political memes please see !politicalmemes@lemmy.world
Community Respect: Disagree with fellow members all you want, but personal attacks aren’t welcome. Save the criticism for the ideas, not each other.
Moderation Discretion: Mods will use reasonable judgment in applying these rules. We’ll be fair, but firm. These kinds of comms have a tendency to get off the rails, so we might seem overzealous in moderation sometimes.
For the moment, i'm allowing properly tagged NSFW content as long as its funny and relevant. Don't make me regret it.
And above all, HAVE FUN!
