Quote by Richard Trumka

Time after time we're told corporations should have freedom from pesky job safety regulations, environmental protections and labor standards - giving working people the freedom to be crushed in collapsing mines, choke on filthy air and get paid too little to live on.

Time after time we're told corporations should have freedom

Summary

This quote criticizes the argument that corporations should have freedom from regulations in order to allow for economic growth. Instead, it points out that such freedom would only result in negative consequences for working people. It argues against the idea that corporations should have the ability to compromise job safety, disregard environmental concerns, and exploit labor standards. The quote highlights that granting this freedom to corporations would ultimately lead to hazardous working conditions, poor air quality, and inadequate wages, which have detrimental effects on the lives and well-being of individuals.

At the last moment, Antoinette came out of her faint and shouted one word to her child.That word, reader, was adieu...Adieu is the French word for farewell. Farewell is not the word you would like to hear from your mother as you are being led to the dungeon by two oversize mice in black hoods... Farewell is a word that, in any language, is full of sorrow. It is a word that promises absolutely nothing.
