Thanks, Reagan.

I’m an astronomer, a strike at my workplace would have little impact on the countries economy.

Most people can’t afford a general strike either. We ourselves are having our liberties surpressed. The only ones able to lash out against the oligarchy are those who have already lost everything to the machine, and even then some of them end up too broken to be able to do something meaningful. Luigi is a rare case where action actually resulted in change and it spoke to the majority of the country who is tired of being abused like indentured servants.

University of Arizona. They have the largest astronomy budget in the country for a university.

Yes but they would return at a much higher speed if the moon didn’t take some of that energy.

I do maintenance at a telescope and occasionally fill in as telescope operator. It doesn’t pay great but the work has been fulfilling. A telescope operator recently quit and they implemented a temp salary (removing my overtime) without discussing the numbers first and ended up putting me at the bottom of a lower pay scale. I thought I was stuck but eventually complained and got reverted back to hourly, but they screwed me out of 200+ hours of overtime because “I didn’t complain soon enough and therefore that is the same as me accepting that salary”. I’m going to quit soon because I don’t work for free.

Wouldn’t you like to know, weather boy…
