I'm not looking forward to the establishment response.

I posted elsewhere about Starbucks recently hiring someone who previously worked for the CIA and the Pinkertons and now some manager's apparently trying to press kidnapping charges against unionised workers for presenting a list of demands during a meeting.

Surely org-crime were given free hand by any typical sociopathic US govt for decades which wanted to decimate union power, 2 birds etc

Lynch has shot himself in the foot weighing in on Ukraine. He should have stuck to the rail dispute and refused to be drawn on anything else. Now he's got The Times claiming people are accusing him of "peddling Kremlin propaganda,".

Profit margins hit 72-year high

Corporate profit margins
jumped to the highest level since 1950 in the second quarter, Axios Markets' Matt Phillips writes from government data out yesterday.

While executives bemoaned supply-chain snarls, inflation and wage growth over the last year, profits handily outpaced costs.

The data, from the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis, showed Q2 2022 was a remarkably good one for corporate America. Surging profits at oil companies were a major contributor.

Teaching unions held their ballot last week. Expecting that the result will be a call for strikes. Pretty much every branch of public sector workers will be out - obviously it would be even more effective if it could be simultaneously- like a general strike.
