I want her take them for more than the profits. I don’t think a net zero is going to teach them anything.

So much this. And the rhyme repeats for every facet of life where there is a power imbalance - criminal justice, banking, housing, customer service, etc. We’ve gone through so many cycles of that imbalance that the regular, normal people of this world are just getting ground under the wheels of these cycles.

LL Cool J won’t perform at Philly’s Welcome America July 4th Concert on the Parkway in solidarity with striking City workers.
Good on you!
Don’t cross picket lines.
Edit:
“I’m not gonna cross a picket line and perform for money when people are hurting,” the rapper said in a video posted on his Instagram account and on X.
He said he was still on his way to Philadelphia and would take the stage if the city reaches an agreement with District Council 33 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
The strike entered its third day on Thursday with no immediate end in sight.
“I never, ever, ever want to disappoint my fans, especially in Philadelphia,” he said, but added there was “absolutely no way” he would go against strikers who are “fighting for a living wage.”

But tensions remain high in labor circles about the preceding week’s events, particularly over work that some members of the building trades unions did to help the Parker administration maintain normalcy during the work stoppage by helping to set up and produce the WawaWelcome America concert on July Fourth.
“The laborers and the stagehands worked the Wawa Welcome America,” said Teamsters Local 107 president Bill Hamilton, adding that his union was asked to work the event but refused to cross DC 33’s picket line. “If employers think that they can utilize one union and not another, there’s no reason for unions. … It’s a mistake that they crossed the line, and I think it has a lot to do with politics.”
….
But union president Arthur G. Steinberg said that “scabbing is deplorable, traitorous conduct, and cannot be tolerated by organized labor for one second.”
“At a time when workers’ hard-fought right to organize is under direct fire from the highest office in the country, labor should be standing shoulder to shoulder to withstand any and all attacks on our very existence,” Steinberg said in a statement.
