    Judges aren’t interested in being consistent, it’s just about oppressing you and upholding capital.

      Yes it does appear to be that way. Even when Congress does a good thing, it gets stalled or shut down.

      Can’t rely on elected officials to deliver proper laws, executive appears to be useless and judges will stop any progress.

      How many generations of this now 2 or 3?

        It’s been continuous since colonial times. It’s an unbroken thread from “indentured servitude” and “slavery,” to “sharecropping” and “vagrancy”/“convict leasing,” to “non-compete agreements” and prison labor being managed by prisons directly (instead of having inmates leased out).

            To be fair, I wasn’t entirely happy with my comment either. There was something missing, and I just figured out what it was.

            Along with “sharecropping” I should’ve mentioned “sweatshops,” and along with “non-compete agreements” I should’ve mentioned anti-union laws like “right-to-work” and “at-will employment.”
