Summary

This week Sam Sacks from means.tv joins us to address the newest propaganda term in capital's revolt against rising class consciousness and worker agitation: "Quiet Quitting."

What does this term mean, how is it being cautioned against by bosses and their media lackeys, and is it effective?

Also: UPS Drivers' (as in my) union wages go viral, and we discuss the minor backlash and much greater merits of widespread awareness of union benefits.
