<<300 Companies Promise to Help Long-Term Jobless

APPLE, WALMART, OTHERS WILL REASSESS HIRING PRACTICES??

Not the way to do it. We need laws and unions to force them to do what is needed for society on a constant basis. We need a complete social overhaul.

Look at what happens when we lose our unions, and government let's the plutocrats run wild. Look at where we are today and ask yourself how did we get here? 65th in the world in income inequality and massive poverty. 43% or black kids under 5 live in poverty while Wall street drinks champagne out of diamond cups and lights their cigars with $100 bills. It is obscene.

I know this political business and it is not the right approach. The big companies will do nothing but pay lip service to keep government off their back. They are laughing now. They will do nothing voluntarily.

And they will never give up their ill gotten gains without a fight. A war in fact and you can take that to the bank.

It has been very hard for me to bite my tongue for so long when I see what I see.

On top of that we need a complete restructuring of society along the lines rat and TL keep talking about with regard to stasis and robots.
