Go NLRB…

Well…yeah, this one is a little in the weeds and I almost forgot to do one on it today…over the weekend, the National Labor Relations Board ruled that if a company gets caught union busting, they will automatically be forced to recognize the union and to start negotiating with it…and this should put a stop to the bullshit that Starbucks is still pulling by closing stores where the employees start to form a union…and it will stop companies like Amazon from firing workers who are involved in organizing the company…they are not supposed to be able to do that but no one is enforcing those laws…maybe now the NLRB will grow a spine and level the playing field across this country…

Here’s a new rule…

Well…it seems to me that we need a new rule when talking to or interviewing repubs by the news organizations since it is clear that all they do is lie, and lie, and lie….so, from now on, once they are caught in one, the new rule should be that no one ever interviews or listens to them again…not to keep “access”, not for a sound bite, not for anything….because if we keep rewarding people for lying, that is what you get…it’s one of the things I leaned getting my degree in psychology…that whatever behavior you reward is what you will get more of…it’s the same thing with kids, if you reward them by giving them what they want when they throw a tantrum, they have learned that tantrums work and they will use them more and more….and when the repubs learn that there are no consequences for lying constantly, they will lie even more. Even when caught in one like Kevin McCarthy was last night on Rachel’s show where he lied his ass off about what he told idiot boy after the attack on the capitol on January 6th….and in a more ethical time, ole Kevvy would have resigned this morning…but in the modern repub party, it is a badge of honor and necessary to lie your ass off to get the support of the troglodytes that make up the repub base….but I still think you can stop this crap by withholding what all of these liars crave and that is attention….geez….
