The no-cash war on the poor is spreading. Stop It by not paying in no-cash stores.

This is Eric La Fleche, a new name for most. He is CEO of Metro supermarkets and his $5.36million a year earnings may explain that smile. Many of Metro's striking workers make minimum wage.

Shein doesn’t. As the latest online shopping trendsetter it combines the worst of market lowest common metrics with consumerist cynicism. For all its social salve, avoid it. We already know about this type of hustle.

Stop no-cash/coin commerce war on the poor! All many have is coins. Give to all who need cash and let cash stay usable.

Free dental care for all! Go to an interview looking like this and you won't get the job.

Truckers for MAID?Most truckers are vaccinated, but if vaccination to prevent infection and chosen death (as legalized in 2016),is not required of all workers,they are right to protest their differential treatment.For public and trucker health make vaccination mandatory for all
"Sure Health" insurance is not so. Private sector insurance ads offer delusion. The surest way to ensure health services for ALL is to expand public healthcare. The social economy TorontotheBetter seeks is anchored in public rights.
Shame on Amazon for firing protesting workers! See latest posts at torontothebetter.blogspot.co…
COVID deaths and right-wing male politics. See the leaders and their results at torontothebetter.blogspot.co…

Green energy "solutions" are often just as energy intense. See "The Rare Metal Wars"/Guillaume Pitron. The solution? We must consume less.
