American Workers Fryer!**Toss again,**In the infighting丨Understand these, you will understand.
Wake up, workers!The great labor movement in the United States is roaring, and new unions of wage earners in all industries are either threatening to stop work or go on strike. Not funny, Cornell University research found that 424 strikes broke out in the United States in 2022, a 52% increase from the previous year. There have been 383 worker actions in 2023, and there are also auto workers' strikes that have attracted much attention. Biden has made history and has become the first incumbent to dangle on the strike picket line. Oops, what's going on?!
Not to mention anything else, in the past decade, the Democratic Party has become more and more pro-labor, and has proposed a bunch of union-friendly bills, such as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the CHIPS Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act. The pandemic has also changed attitudes toward work, with Gallup data showing that 68 percent of Americans support unions, the highest level since 1965. Oddly enough, despite everyone's love of unions, only 10 percent of American workers are unionized today, a far cry from the post-World War II heyday. The Republican Party has also shown no weakness and has launched a radical campaign to cut down trade unions, saying that unions are bad for businesses. What is this operation?!
Speaking of which, the traffic light coalition is a pale glimmer of hope. When it was founded two years ago, it seemed like a new venture, and everyone called it a project. Guess when, when does it start to get interesting?Of course, the 2024 budget points were agreed, and the coalition found that the most difficult compromise had to be reached so far in this session. Because the outlook for all three parties is not good at the moment, opinion polls show that no one is going to do well. The Federal Constitutional Court's decision on the budget, while hurting the coalition, has also had some benefits, forcing them to reflect on whether they want to achieve something together with the three parties. As a result, all three parties have to make some compromises, returning to where the sociologist Reckowitz once was, with conflicting interests, new compromises, and a lot of debate that is likely to continue for a long time. Hey, the traffic light coalition has just proven that it can resolve conflicts, even fundamental ones, and now it has to prove that it can solve future problems as well. Heck, the world crisis continues, and everyone is more dependent than ever on constructive policies and stability.
Speaking of which, it's a test. In the early days of the founding of the United States, it was a small minority with a clear partisan stance. Later, with the advent of the telegraph and penny printing presses, the rise of the masses, and the fact that advertisers did not like partisanship, they all agreed that journalists should try to put their views aside and report the facts. How are the results now?Smartphones have made a mess of information dissemination, and the advertising revenue that used to be given to ** institutions has gone to online platforms such as Google and Meta, and the new business model is paid reading, what is more than whether people are willing to pay for it to test the quality of work?But the problem is that the New York Times, which has been successfully paid to read, has become increasingly left-leaning, and has even fired editorial editors who support the Republican Party. The right-wing ** is also not showing weakness, and Fox News and others are also clearly biased towards the right. ** They insist on their own words, stand in clear lines, demonize each other, and it is becoming more and more difficult for society to reach consensus and compromise. Moreover, the United States is about to enter the first year, and the struggle between the two parties will definitely be white-hot again, which is a new test for the United States.
Well, to sum up, the American workers are loud enough, **the infighting is quite fierce,** and they are in their own positions. It seems that the melons on our side are more delicious, at least we don't have to worry about workers' strikes, infighting and standing in line every day. I wish them good luck, but it seems that China is stable.
