Perfection

There’s power in labor solidarity ✊

I would imagine so. What’s a little twice-daily six foot drop on the knees of these poor bastards up top?

But maybe it chugged down one level at a time to avoid potential collisions from dropping workers. Can’t say that I’m well-read on the subject - or that I really know anything about the subject at all other than that safety regulations in the past were utter dogshit.

Insane example of police brutality and excessive force. Policing in this country is fucked.

Working-class dog right there
