Added 2022-12-12 11:00:10 +0000 UTCMax Alvarez (@maximillian_alv) and Mel Buer (@mel_buer) of The Real News Network (@TheRealNews) join the crew to discuss US rail workers' struggle for paid sick days and other markers of basic dignity. How did things get so bad, and how are railroad companies fucking over not just their own workers, but the economy in general? What could Biden and the Democrats have done to help, and what did they actually do?

Chokepoint capitalism reminded me of this quote by Gelb, which I found in Blackshirts and Reds, "the vipers, the bloodsuckers, the middlemen -- that's what they need. That's what needs to be rehabilitated in the Soviet Union. That's what makes our kind of a country click!"
