For context, the PSU student council and elected body has had a resolution calling for PSU to divest from Boeing and cut all relationships since 2021, which the administration has ignored. It is the ‘democratic’ will of the student to cut ties with Boeing but you wouldn’t know that by all the kvetching and moaning in these threads and on the PSU subreddit

I have no idea why this comment has so many upvotes. This is not a dig on you personally at all, but straight up, no there isn’t any steps between poverty jobs and jobs that are directly tied to the MIC/ the energy sector. Most jobs outside of that is food service, retail, warehouse work, package delivery etc. even the trades are not safe from this since I worked as an HVAC tech and A LOT of shit is straight up made by DUPONT, Raytheon, 3M and their subsidiaries and I can’t imagine this isn’t the same with other trades. If you’re not doing these kind of jobs then what exactly are you doing that your able to not working for fascist and also making a good wage?

I’m not trying to rant or anything but I could literally sit here and reply for days on this very subject.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
