Monday Morning Musings
They wave and cheer when they need the sacrifice. Told to push and think of the community. They have your back until the dust settles. Only lip service from up high. Their communal disservice. Welcome to the dream. Subscribe to never miss a Monday Morning Musing.https://jlgang.wordpress.com/2026/07/06/monday-morning-musings-36/

Quite the wake-up call.

The Left’s Shameful Hypocrisy in the Government Shutdown: Anti-Worker Politics Disguised as Progressivism
The current government shutdown has exposed something deeply disturbing about the state of so-called progressivism in America. As the federal government teeters on the brink of chaos, there are voices, voices that claim to be on the left, calling for the shutdown to continue. They present it as some kind of moral or political strategy, a way to "punish" the administration or make a political statement. But what they fail—or refuse—to acknowledge is the human cost of this so-called […] -

#Trump issued an #ExecutiveOrder on his first day in office freezing #ForeignAid…, & a month later, furloughed most #USAID employees. Virtually the entire person workforce, once 10k people strong, will be laid off permanently this summer….
The move highlights the many unforeseen [by them] challenges facing the Trump admin’s efforts to cut the #federal workforce, including a dearth of #EssentialWorkers. It comes as the admin plans to eliminate all overseas positions by Sept 30….

“To keep talks moving forward, the UFCW locals in Southern California and the supermarket chains are paying Hermosillo a “per diem” wage to continue with the negotiations. “
Let’s support government workers to #OccupyWorkplace when essential community jobs and services require their expertise.

Advocates are sounding the alarm: Without urgent funding for affordable #housing, essential workers—like nurses and teachers—are being pushed out of the communities they serve. #Homelessness organisations report a rising number of these vital workers seeking help.

Took the family to see the Banksy display at Docklands. Do you remember when you first saw this during the dark times. I wasn't on the front line but gosh it had an impact. 🥰💜 #banksy #essentialworkers #joinyourunion #empowerment

I finally fixed the leaking Frost-proof Sillcock in the back of the house. It started to leak during the start of the #pandemic when we were afraid to go to stores and so many #clerks, #cashiers and other #essentialworkers were dying. It's been on my mind since then. It's a small victory, but I'll take it.

#CareGivers are #EssentialWorkers & I beg you to consider how these & other #HealthCareWorkers #RetailWorkers need solidarity & #Unions
So many died unnecessarily during #TFG 🤡 #COVID non-response. I honor their memory as #COVIDMARTYRS
I pray for those our hunger for #profit (Mammon) has taught violence & hate but I pray MORE for those the hate & oppression fall on

@wdlindsy Americans feel like the #economy is failing them, because it is.
GDP going up, stonks go up, etc... All great. For people with money.
More and more people in the US are at the point where they have very little money. They can barely keep up with rent, groceries, and energy costs.
But, stonk lines go up, so everything is good, right?
#Inflation is "better now", but reducing how fast your money loses value doesn't change that it's losing value faster than your pay raises.
And yes, "median pay is increasing"... For the higher end of the wage spectrum. Front line, #EssentialWorkers are not seeing the same gains. People playing the stonk market, or management are getting more money, though.
So, yes, there are very real economic policies decisions to make, to get people feeling better about the economy. And #TrickleDownEconomics aka #Bidenomics isn't the answer.

“Virtually no part of Australia is affordable for aged care workers, early childhood educators, cleaners, nurses and many other essential workers we rely on. They cannot afford to live in their own communities.“ #AusPol #housing #AffordableHousing #EssentialWorkers

Everyone, and I mean *everyone*, who is not getting a paycheck should not go to work.#EssentialWorkers died for us during #COVID19. The #WorkingClass is essential. Air traffic controllers are NOT slaves. Neither are SSA workers, park rangers, FDA inspectors, ...
If you're not getting paid what are you working for? Let the billionaires take responsibility for a change.

“Those of us who've lost loved ones to Covid-19 remain forever indebted to nurses and health care workers who courageously cared for our dying family members and continue to save countless lives. Our responsibility is to prioritize their well-being, prevent further Covid-19-related suffering, and protect families from the anguish of loss and Long Covid."
