Ugh, too true to be funny. I'd say eat the rich but I doubt they taste good, probably just give one terrible indigestion. Even though I'm retired I still carry my union card in my wallet. Solidarity!
And the only reason we have 'Labor Day' in September was because Grover Cleveland was pre-empting the drive to declare May Day as the workers holiday in solidarity with the workers of the rest of the world.
The ferry company that operates tours to Alcatraz underpays its workers. They were on strike for four days leading up to today, bizzaro Labor Day. I wonder what the visiting Europeans thought as they crossed the picket line to board the boats...? Some of the workers were chanting, 'Refund!' and the like. I hope some folks took heed, but I get it if they didn't.
Happy Labour Day! Enjoy!
ReplyDelete...have a fabulous day.
ReplyDeleteRecord profits are unpaid wages!!!
ReplyDeletePreach!!!
Record profits are unpaid wages, i agree
ReplyDeleteGood job i must say dear Debra
Blessings
Appropriately enough! Labor Day arose from class warfare, after all. Happy Labor Day. Celebrate the dignity of work by doing no work.
ReplyDeleteThese memes are very true.
ReplyDeleteJust thinking about the people I made rich over the years -
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to be retired! ;)
ReplyDeleteThe first one!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Labor Day Debs. The dead wasp one had me in stitches. I'll have to try that one with people I don't like. I'll let you know how that goes.
ReplyDeleteThe leopard with the little gazelle is classic.
ReplyDeleteI don’t have a boss anymore, but I can still use that dead wasp trick!
ReplyDeleteI, too, have worked for lying leopards! That's why unions are important! So you won't just be a fawn in the game of life!! ðŸ¤✊
ReplyDelete@ Cleora Borealis -- I salute your pun with a hearty GROAN!

Happily retired from the world of the government, where all of this was magnified by a factor of 20.
ReplyDeleteHappy Laborious Day!

ReplyDelete@ Bruce.desertrat -- Yes and Canada followed right along with that "anti-Commie" change of date.
DeleteThese sort of memes frustrate me as they don't seem to have 'action' behind them viz. people doing something to better the imbalance.
ReplyDelete@ Ur-spo -- Understanding and pointing out the truth of a situation is the first step. Without it, no further steps can be taken.
Delete10/10!
ReplyDeleteMemes? Maybe.
ReplyDeleteLies? None detected.
Happy Labour Day!
XOXO
Yep. We're at the mercy of psychopaths.
ReplyDeleteBut have a great, relaxing Labour Day regardless, SWS.
All of these are on point.

Oh, love the one with the leopard and deer.
ReplyDeleteAmen.
ReplyDeleteI spent Labour Day travelling back home. Then trying to shake off the jet lag. Now I'm back in the pit of hell.
ReplyDeleteOoh, that leopard deer one.
ReplyDeletethe first one!! I heard a comedian say you're not maga til you send your diabetes med money to rump.
ReplyDelete@ LA Paylor -- OMG, that's funny and sad all at the same time because I bet there is a degree of truth in it.
DeleteLoved the dead wasp one! These are spot on, Debra. They make me angry at the same time though.
