Union busting, Russian-style

ON JANUARY 10, the St. Petersburg City Court issued a ruling to dissolve the Worker's Association Interregional Trade Union (MPRA), known for its high-profile strikes at a Ford plant. This is the first time a 2012 law about non-governmental organizations acting as "foreign agents" has been applied to a workers' organization; unions were previously untouched by it.

Ink It Onto Your Knuckles – Carillion Is How Neoliberalism Lives and Breathes

When right-wing economists tell me there is no such thing as neoliberalism – that it is a figment of the left’s imagination, a meaningless insult or a catch-all phrase – from now I’m just going say the word Carillion. In fact, if it would fit, I would get the word tattooed across my knuckles.

inb4 thread becomes another warzone about age of consent

What the fuck is wrong with people

The cartoon president strikes again.

The internet and social media makes such things easily possible.
Meanwhile I'm still a virgin my mid 20s lol


Absolute top #lads

Sexist pig.

...

Feels good to be ==superior==

I fuck up red letters I am inferior after all.

First of the dominoes to fall?

What the fuck is Russia anymore

Capitalist

There's so many nuances with this clusterfuck I don't know where to start.

...

This WH can't even take responsibility for fucking up a conference call. This would literally be a non issue if it happened under Bush or Obama. What the fuck?

This conference call is ILLEGITIMATE and FAKE NEWS

I am honestly shocked that a staffer used such language for a goddamn conference call. It's like they have autistic Holla Forumstards running this shit.

You mean to tell me the current administration is incompetent???

The government shutdown drama is fascinating. I feel we're truly at the breaking point.

I won't do that but I will say it's a douche move the guy who posted a vid of him with his gf which probably was his ex at the time in the first place which is probably how it started.

>Meanwhile I'm still a virgin my mid 20s lol
you ain't the only one user

this is not >>>Holla Forums

no, but it's Holla Forums

When did most of y'all first get laid? I was 15. I didn't have good sex until I was 17 though.

First time at 15. First good sex was at 16. Didn't actually get somewhat good at sex until 16 or 17 though.

This isn't even about age of consent (15 is legal in Denmark), but rather about insane pre-internet "child" pornography laws that set the age limit higher than age of consent itself.

Yeah I guess I had some fun when I was 16. I was pretty trash though. The sex I had at 15 wasn't even worth it though. Cringy as fuck to think back on.

Comrade Corbyn will lead the vanguard and bring about world wide Anglo Communism
