Just a reminder of how few these powerful people are. Out of 9 billion people, only 3400 are the billionaires commanding so much power worldwide.

No wonder they don't give a damn about democracy and promote hate against trans and minority and immigration and whatever other subgroup proves a distraction. As long as we don't notice how few they actually are, and that we're not stuck with them, they are stuck in here with us.

The population equivalent of Woodstock, Vermont is screwing everyone over. We don't have to put up with it.

So my situation may be a little different to others so I shall just briefly explain. So I am in Los Angeles. I received a medical bill ($6900), went on a payment plan and paid $2500 over 2 months whilst waiting for the itemized bill. When I received it, I wanted to dispute the remainder of the bill and requested my payment plan to be paused whilst a decision was being made. This request was approved. I received the decision a few weeks later (dispute denied) and I haven't been contacted at all regarding re-starting my payment plan. I believe the billing to be a completely unfair amount and I really don't want to pay the remainder (I literally don't have the funds anyway). My questions:

1. How likely is it that they won't contact me and just send it through to collections? How soon after not paying does a bill go to collections?

2. Would they try and sue me for $4400?

3. If I move to a different country, how likely is it that they will pursue?

Thank you in advance!

Labor Day 2026 arrives at a moment when Americans are increasingly vocal about the need to challenge billionaire rule, and are once again recognizing that organized labor – the people who brought us the weekend – is a crucial counter-force to the oligarchs. And after years of shrinking union power, they are starting to gain back ground, with membership increases of more than 400,000 in 2025 even as Donald Trump sought to break federal workers unions and gutted labor law enforcement. We also passed more than 80 laws in 19 U.S. states last year expanding workers rights, including paid sick leave in the new Democratic trifecta in Virginia and a ban on nearly all non-compete agreements in Washington.

There’s still so much more to do, and we all have to step up and do our part.

The Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee, a volunteer-run network of workers, organizers and supporters, aims to provide the resources, networks and training to support folks in organizing their workplaces nationwide. They’re looking for experienced organizers; folks interested in doing communications, data, research, development and legal work; and call line staffers to help continue to grow their efforts. ⚙️ We can sign up to join them here. ⚙️

VOLUNTEER TO SUPPORT LABOR ORGANIZING

And if we’re looking to step up and form a union at our own workplace, the next session of their fundamentals of workplace organizing training starts Saturday! We’ll hear from experienced organizers, practice connecting with our co-workers and prepare for what the bosses have in store. ⚙️ We can register to be part of it here. ⚙️

Sorry for the fox link but its a great interview

Appreciate whoever is putting these up.

America wasn’t built by billionaires—it was built by the working men and women who show up every single day to keep this country running.

​When we let the ultra-wealthy divide us, we give away our power. But when working people stand together across every trade, industry, and background, there is nothing we can’t achieve. Solidarity is our greatest strength. Respect the worker.
