The CEO of the Goya Food Company refuses to be fooled, refuses to kowtow and refuses to keep silent:
“Goya CEO Unanue to Newsmax: Dems ‘Declared War’ on the Working Class”—
https://www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/goya-ceo-unanue-labor-day/2022/09/05/id/1086048/
Opening grafs:
‘The Democrats in Washington have “declared a war on the working class,” and have “incentivized people to stay home” rather than to hold jobs, Goya Foods CEO Bob Unanue said on Newsmax Monday, while speaking out about the Labor Day holiday.
‘ “I see two paths that we can take, to love, build, create, and prosper, or to hate, divide, and destroy and that’s what they’ve done,” Unanue commented on Newsmax’s “National Report.” “We’ve taken the last two years and declared a war on fossil fuel. We’ve looked weak … we have just declared a war on the working class, putting people out of work.”….’

IOW he sees what’s obvious and isn’t afraid to state it out loud.
(And the others? Where the heck are THEY??)

If my parents were still living, they would be celebrating their 85th wedding anniversary today. Labor Day weekend was a popular choice for weddings toward the end of the Depression because– in an era before widespread air conditioning– the worst of the summer heat in the Northeast was over by the first week of September, plus there was no risk of a snowstorm complicating the celebration. Last, the three-day weekend gave extra time for the members of the wedding party and the guests to get there and leave afterward in time to be back to work on Tuesday. The 1930s Main Line of the Pennsylvania Railroad made it even easier for my parents’ friends and relatives to come to my home town for their Labor Day wedding.
