STILL, NOT ONE IOTA OF SUPPORT, ACKNOWLEDGMENT, RECOGNITION, SOLIDARITY FROM ANYONE HERE!!
Of course, I know why, which I explain repetitively.
As I have said before, many times, may ALL FASCIST/NAZI opposition FRONT collaborators DROP DEAD and receive that which they have so well deservedly earned!!
More news forthcoming, I am sure, as today progresses.
Two more reports/links will have to suffice for the moment:

A footnote.
I asked a friend to monitor/watch/listen to our major media outlets as best she can to note WHAT, IF ANYTHING, appears about these strikes on commercial, corporate, alternative TV, radio, etc.
So far, NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!
A total news blackout, except for what I read, myself, on the internet.
Even our TV business channel, this time around, has NO coverage!
The word clearly trickled down from our NAZI/FASCIST Corporate Establishment above to SUPPRESS information in a choreographed, orchestrated manner.

"OF TIME AND THE CITY"

To add or finish on a cultural note.
I happened to see what I consider to be a film essay, lyrical, visual tone poem, "Of Time and the City."
Here are some commentaries, below, with which I agree mostly, but, not completely.
I wish to EMPHASIZE what I thought were some absolute stunning, remarkable, memorable, HISTORIC, vintage, archival film and photographic imagery, collected and woven together in an artistic tapestry rendering an invaluable contribution to Liverpool/English working class daily life, existence, at that time, speaking volumes for itself, with or without verbiage, accompanied by exquisite, perfect musical selections.
The filmmaker's brief, but, rich, personal commentaries and literary references were the icing on the cake to me:
