In 1941, the animators at Walt Disney's Studio went on strike. The business had grown from a few people to a 1200 person working place, but in all that time the wages had stayed quite low for all but a few at the very top. Were you to check the credits of any of the cartoons from this period, you would notice that not a single animators name was credited, only Walt Disney himself.
Disability Caucus 8/30/16: The Futility of the (Job) Hunt
Submitted by The Aspie Corner on Tue, 08/30/2016 - 10:08pmSo tomorrow my employment specialist wants to take me to a few places she applied to on my behalf. No doubt they'll tell me they don't do anything face to face anymore and that everything is done online now because that's the default response. Even when I do get to introduce myself to a higher-up, it never really goes anywhere. You simply can't get your foot in the door in the IT world.

The refusal by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick to stand for the Star Spangled Banner and the resulting scandal has got me thinking.
It occurred to me that racism is actually the least interesting, important and controversial part of this scandal.

Why fight?
Submitted by ArizonaProgressive on Tue, 08/30/2016 - 4:03pmWhy fight?
It’s tiring worrying about politics.
Like most people my days are busy. Filled with work and family. Each day I spend hours working with the most vulnerable victims of systemic income inequality and social injustice. The non-profit I have the privilege of working for assists people experiencing homelessness and extreme poverty. It’s rewarding and necessary, though at times tiring and discouraging.
