  1. I don't know if it counts for anything these days but as a New Yorker, I am moved to see our fellow citizens from Alabama fighting for the rights of themselves and their families in our cold New York streets this holiday season. God bless you and all the best for your struggle for justice folks!!!

  2. No point asking Blackrock for help. They’re behind the problem these workers face. They own the nation. They control the Fed. Larry Fink is the de facto King of America. They took over without a whimper from anyone.

  3. They must be really good paying jobs since there's like 3 black people there. Oh they made sure they found them and interviewed them to offer an impression that there isn't.

  4. None of this mattered to any of these people til Biden became president. In a week they'll be talking about how peaceful racists can be as they fight to erect more Confederate Monuments.

  5. Hudson Valley Environmental Solutions has been trying to expose the water 💦💧 commission in Newburgh NY and Highland NY. Women and children are getting sick 🤢🤢🤢 everyday and they don't want this to be known nationally through main stream media. Kid's are getting diagnosed with cancer. Investigate this is evidence based FACTS!! These aren't rumors- please 🥺🙏 investigate!!

  6. Maybe instead of just the coal miners holding a strike in Manhattan, the rest of us should do the same thing all across America. Just clog up city streets and shut the whole country down for a day. For a week. For a month. Or until the message gets through. These small localized protests are just a temporary nuisance. Do it coast to coast and throw a massive wrench into the system and then see what happens.

  7. Nice to see Americans actually fighting the real problem – the ruling class – instead of scrapping over race and gender issues. Race and gender issues can be worked out once corporations and the privileged take their boot off the neck of the working and productive classes.

  8. Basically the workers are just the means to the end, the bottom line. They treat you as a number not a person. I’ve been there and watched it happen. Incompetence is rewarded, million dollar salaries that aren’t deserved. Corporate America goes to the lowest bidder. Take a look at how many bolted to communist china for cheap labor, proof again the board room could care less about you. Greed and bigger profits are king. People are throw aways. I’m convinced the only ones who care about the people they hire are the small business owners.
