Jornalista Censurados no Brasil por demonstrar indignação as fraudes eleitorais desse ano de 2022, basta democracia é direito de todos.

Are these the same employees that stayed home for two years with pay and benefits?

Ah, unions. The bastion of countries without employment law.

Why are they dressed like communists?

Tell your local politicians to stop pocketing the money they get from all of those taxes. Then tell your University management to stop raising prices and then just pocketing the money... I am sure the Dean is making more than most Professors combined.
