BigmanPigman's JournalThank you unions! Happy Labor Day!
https://www.history.com/topics/holidays/labor-day-1"THE FIRST LABOR DAY CELEBRATION WAS SEPTEMBER 5, 1882 IN NEW YORK CITY.
On that Tuesday, 10,000 citizens marched for labor rights down the streets of Manhattan. During this time the average American worked 12 hours a day, six days a week. It wasn't until the Adamson Act passed on September 3, 1916 that our modern eight-hour work day was established."

Last night a doctor in TX said we all should take classes in treating
victims of a mass shooting, like how to stop bleeding, differentiate wounds, etc.
"...at the news conference following this shooting was the emergency physician (an Iraq war veteran with 10 years served) was that Americans everywhere do like the hospital in Odessa has done — prepare for a mass casualty event. Every man, woman and child needs to be prepared to offer help to the victims for Life Support and other emergency measures, It sickened me to hear him say that because he was admitting that these events will continue and no one is safe. His quote....not a matter of IF but WHEN".

Is this good advice that we should all take seriously and consider this training? Should this be training for all Americans like CPR and the Heimlich Maneuvers? Or is this part of "normalizing" this issue? I certainly don't want to think that this is the approach we should take going forward. Isn't pressuring the Senate and our reps and voting to stop the guns a better goal?
