- Disney faces strike threat as thousands of California workers vote on walkout [Michael Sainato | 9 Jul 2024 | Guardian US] https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/jul/09/disney-worker-strike
Company could endure biggest US strike of 2024 as unions accuse it of intimidation during contract negotiations
The vote does not mean the workers will go on strike yet, but that the unions can call a strike at any point. If a strike takes place, it will be the largest strike so far in 2024.
In a survey conducted earlier this year, the union said that 28% of its members have food insecurity, 64% are rent-burdened and 42% missed work for medical treatment because they didn’t have enough sick leave.
Workers are also advocating for higher wages. The current minimum wage under Anaheim law is $19.90.
The current contract expired on 16 June. Contract negotiations have been taking place since late April.
"We have people who work at Disneyland who have to choose between paying their rent or buying groceries. There are people who go without medical care because they can’t afford it. There are people who rely on the food banks, and the churches, or food supplements,” Coleen Palmer, a cashier at Disneyland for more than 30 years and a member of the bargaining committee, told the Guardian earlier this month. “This is a place where people want to work but they want to be able to make a living doing what they’re doing and that’s what we’re fighting for.”
Here is the about section:
“The More You Know”[1] is a series of public service announcements that has been running on NBC Universal programming in the United States since September 1989. Each clip typically begin with an educational message from a celebrity and conclude with an animated sequence of a comet trail created by Paul Johnson. Being one of the longest-running network public service campaigns to date, the PSA series has been widely parodied both online and in popular culture.
It reminded me of some masterfully done music videos!

It seems like it is just a new PR name for what the status quo has been trying to do for decades[1].
If I understand the commentary from sources correctly[2].

“Like some on the right, severe right, came up with this Project 25, I don’t even know, some of them I know who they are, but they’re very, very conservative,” Trump said. “They’re sort of the opposite of the radical left.”
“You have the radical left and the radical right and they come up — I don’t know what the hell it is, it’s Project 25,” he continued. “‘He’s involved in project — and then they read some of the things and they are extreme, they’re seriously extreme.
“But I don’t know anything about it, I don’t want to know anything about it.”
Project 2025 is led by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, and more than a dozen former Trump administration officials.
The document includes plans to expand his executive authority, replace civil servants with loyalists, crush abortion rights, attack civil rights for LGBTQ+ people and impose an anti-immigrant agenda, among other policies.
He also claims the plan is “extreme,” but the document mirrors several policies the former president himself has endorsed.
“Project 2025 will not be ‘stopped’ by an unserious, mistake-riddled press release or a task force of House Democrats lacking a basic understanding of federal governance,” Roberts said in a statement.
This Ain’t No Picnic is a song of frustration. According to Michael Azzeradd’s book [Our Band Could Be Your Life]
Our Band Could Be Your Life: Scenes from the American Indie Underground 1981-1991 Paperback – July 2, 2002 by Michael Azerrad (Author)
D Boon was working in an auto parts store when he asked his boss if he could listen to a local jazz and soul station on the radio. The boss refused, calling the station “African American excrement” (only in less detailed and more prejorative terms). Boon was appalled and wanted to quit on the spot, but he could not because he needed to have an income at the time.
No song, to my knowledge, would cause me to harm myself.
My actions would have caused this to happen so much so that Baba Yaga [1] himself had to enact justice with a pencil [2].

This song is a cover of Firestarter by The Prodigy
This version is more slow then it was in The Prodigy’s version.
It was used in the Just Cause 3 Trailer “firestarter” and used in the intro of the game
