American Politics IX: Winter is Coming

[Neutraligon]

By refusing to go into work they are harming students education. The mayor is in the right locking them out of their accounts.

But that also harms their education too. If the teachers can’t teach in person and they can’t teach virtually then what are the students supposed to do. Shoot if I was the mayor I would just listen to their requests and improve conditions so this strike will be over with.

It isn't even a strike. Teachers where willing to teach, just not in person. It is the mayor who is preventing them from doing so.

[Apocalyptic Haven]

Every last worker in America should just frankly go on a general strike and deprive Congress of any and all money.

A nonviolent populist revolution such as a general strike sounds good to me.

[Neutraligon]

Lumen held a similar opinion about doctors and nurses, who are suffering from severe issues of depression, overwork, exhaustion, etc.

Don’t forget about transportation workers or air traffic control workers or pretty much anyone who’s striking would prevent him from living his life without being burdened

Oh right, I need to add that to the list. ...Is there any working individual who Lumen doesn't want to harm?

[Ifreann]

I see, so coal miners who were dying due to black lung and terrible conditions should not be able to strike due to those terrible conditions. THey in fact should not have become coal miners. Oh and, considering the number who are refusing to go in for work...watch your teacher shortage sore. Now students are not getting an education.

By refusing to go into work they are harming students education. The mayor is in the right locking them out of their accounts.

By going to work they would be endangering their students' health and even lives. If Lightfoot thinks that schools being open is more important that children being safe then she's probably some kind of heartless monster.

And this strike ends when the starving congresscritters comes to the working class grovelling.

My point still stands, the teachers want to teach but want to teach safely. If they can’t do it in person or virtually then what?

Nobody gets education i guess. sucks to be the people exploiting the workers.

If Lightfoot wants schools to be open then maybe she should teach the students. I’m sure she won’t mind the possibility of herself getting covid

Me too. As long as said revolution doesn’t turn into violence I will support this.

Covid is never going to go away. By this logic we should never reopen schools.

Oh I was agreeing with you, just pointing out that it is even worse than you were suggesting since this did not need to happen. The mayor is objectively making it worse.

I have identified the Biden constituency. Moderate partisan Democrats who are only fine with advancing working class interests when it doesn’t inconvenience them personally.

Oh but you see it will become violent as congress inevitably calls out the army to shoot the strikers.

This is dumb but we should definitely rethink our education system

She probably realizes that most children aren't high-risk, and will benefit more from being part of in-person classes than they would from being forced to stay home and "attend" class via a computer.

It might get to the point where it really isn’t an issue. When that happens the pandemic could be considered over. Until then we are still in a pandemic.

and what if lectures becomes a 45 minute session in nose-swabbing and people getting as far away as possible from eachother?

Rethink it how?

Which goes up in flame when teachers or they get sick and can't attend classes anyway. Oh and, I recall that for a while it was children who were ending up in hospitals with omicron.

This is a completely ridiculous statement.

Ok but what about the teachers? Many of them are older and thus susceptible to COVID

You heinously underestimate how frightened people are rn.

[Esalia]

what if people are too concerned about infecting others and every lecture becomes a 45 minute long nose-swabbing exercise?

If your that concerned you should not be a teacher.

Do you want teachers with empathy or not?

Because before you were whining that teachers don't care enough about their students, and now you're telling teachers that care about their students to not be teachers.
