"The working classes have always been the caring classes — not just because they do almost all of the caring labor, but also because, perhaps partly as a result, they actually are more empathetic than the rich. Psychological studies show this, by the way. The richer you are, the less competent you are at even understanding other people’s feelings. So trying to reimagine work — not as a value or end in itself, but as the material extension of caring — is a good start." . - David Graeber

The Board of Peace in action.
"The Board of Peace was sold to the UN security council in November as the only path to ending the slaughter in Gaza, but it had been clear long before the first missiles were fired at Iran, that it was a “bait-and-switch” scam."

National Treasury Employees Union response:
“Regardless of whether the IRS continues to recognize NTEU as the exclusive representative of its bargaining unit employees, there is no dispute that the Federal Labor Relations Authority certified that status, and has taken no action to undo it."
