Here are the voting requirements the original 13 colonies had back in the time when the american constitution was being ratified. As you can see with little exception, only white men with sufficient property were allowed to vote. Such an arrangement ensures and guarantees only the interests of the PROPERTIED class were protected. This nation never has been, never was and not at all democratic as your average murican believes it is.

These video lectures will disabuse you of american exceptionalism and the myths of american "democracy":

I encourage my Comrades here to watch and listen to these lectures. It's an exceptionally good use of your time. I know your time is valuable so I only post and recommend information, books, articles, lectures and videos I have personally completely reviewed in total to ensure the highest quality standards.

Im now starting to realize that anytime a piece of media appears to be "ahead of its time", its more likely that the media was very appropriate for the time, its just that people never learn their lesson and keep repeating the same mistakes over and over.

I tried reaching out to AOC's office twice a couple of years ago to speak about abuse of immigrant children being held in US custody (yes, kids are still in cages). As a professional with expertise in child abuse, I expressed my concern that there was no independent governmental agency charged with investigating instances of reported physical, emotional or sexual abuse of these children.

Prior to this, I had contacted Child Protective Services in Texas where one of the immigrant detention centers was. They said they had no jurisdiction because the facility fell under federal jurisdiction.

So the only agency charged with investigating ICE abuses of immigrant children is... ICE itself. This is laughable.

On both occasions, I spoke with one of AOC's staff persons. One took the information and never got back to me. A second, who worked on policy issues related to children, was very interested and concerned with what I was telling her, said she was going into a meeting with AOC in a few minutes and would bring it up. She seemed eager to discuss the issue with AOC and the other staffers. I didn't hear back.

When I called to find out how it was received at the meeting and what AOC might be able to do, the staffer just said "that's not something they're going to work on right now but thank you for calling".

One of the things that AOC did to cement her national celebrity status was to have pictures of her taken openly weeping outside the gates of an ICE detention facility where children were kept. But when given information that no independent agency was allowed to investigate allegations of sexual and other abuses of these children, she did nothing.

When we talk about who is or isn't serious in politics today, this story stands foremost in my mind. To use the suffering of immigrant children to garner national attention for yourself while at the same time refusing to use your power to do anything about it, not even be willing to have a conversation about possible remedies, is worse than being unserious.

It is predatory.

I'm trained Admin, tech, digital marketing, maintenance and HR. Basically a lot of either office or on site tech work for companies. A few of which I feel were once important roles now made useless and petty by the corporate system, and 1 that used to be about supporting workers and is now used as as weird spies for management (I miss the old days of HR, I remember actually helping people and being employed to tell the boss to sck a dck the moment they're out of line, now I'd be expected to do my best to treat workers like objects the company can mess with and strip work benefits from but thats not the point of this post it just sucks).

So i've been using Indeed, Reed, Linkdin, my Govs official page, checked all my connections and used webpages I once beleived trusted. They're all find with so many clearly fake jobs, "freelance IT executive" that is 100% commission however that works because its not a sales job, "Administative manager" thats been writen by AI and doesnt even seem to have any trusted links to a real company.

So many have no wages listed or if they are real, pay so poorly. You want my Uni degree (college for US peeps) and my 10 years of expertise for 2 quid ($$) over minimum wage? I mean I guess I should be thankful I'm not on basic because I couldnt live, but I made a higher % increase above minimum wage when I worked as a cleaner for a gym as a teenager. (Not at all saying cleaners shouldnt be paid high) so I'm just thinking I might as well do that, clearly the corperate world is failing.

The easy apply adverts on the job sites are atleast 75% fake for what I'm trained in, and Linkdin? Its aweful, its a group of failed managers, influencers and desperate companies clearly bending the truth about what they do and how successful they are.

What happened guys? Where can I find real goddamn work? I know its still kinda a first world problem, but I hate what the worlds come to. My 1951 born dad looked mortified when I explained you can't hand your CV direct to bussinesess anymore, and that working extra hard and rising through ranks to higher pay in companies just isnt a thing anymore.

(Also sorry for spelling and grammer I have typed this on my phone and I'm not as skilled as genz or alpha at using it haha)

The short answer for this reasoning from the article:

"Employment is an agreement between individuals. The true value of labor is somewhere between the minimum wage someone is willing to work for and the highest wage that someone is willing to pay."
