Socialism is when union boss Communism is when union superboss

The Fed does the exact same shit it always does. They raise interest rates to discipline labor when it looks like workers have more bargaining power to leverage over profitable businesses. And then they eventually lower interest rates because not doing so would cripple the economy (cuz companies will just downsize, hold their money and not do anything). Inflation has way more to do with energy prices and global supply chains than interest rates.

The US is so fucking cooked if international researchers choose to go to China. A lot of our domestic research comes from international labor:

"40 percent of current doctoral students and 53 percent of postdocs in STEM and social sciences do not hold permanent status in this country. International students make up almost 35 percent of the Ph.D. population in the United States, and that number will probably only increase in the coming years given the looming enrollment cliff and projected decrease in numbers of domestic students."

And China's surpassed the US in number of publications in high impact journals since at least 2018.

"I've come to make an announcement; Big Pharma's a bitch ass motherfucker, he pissed on my fucking wife. Thats right, he took his overpriced-insulin quilly dick out and he pissed on my fucking wife, and he said his dick was "This big" and I said that's disgusting, so I'm making a callout post on my twitter dot com, Big Pharma, you've got a small dick, it's the size of this walnut except WAY smaller, and guess what? Here's what my dong looks like: PFFFT, THAT'S RIGHT, BABY. ALL POINTS, NO QUILLS, NO PILLOWS. Look at that, it looks like two balls and a bong."

This means they're finally going to give us healthcare right?

To add on, the status quo period, at least for our union, doesn't mean you can't still file grievances (formal process for remedying contract violation). It just means you can't take those cases to arbitration (third party judge decides on case). Its usually good to use unresolved grievances and any unfair labor practices (like the aforementioned unilateral changes in working conditions) to add leverage to negotiations and use settling them as part of the final agreement with the employer.
