Plot summary
When workers at the Hormel meatpacking plant in Austin, Minnesota are asked to take a substantial pay cut in a highly profitable year, the local labor union decides to go on strike and fight for a wage they believe is fair. But as the work stoppage drags on and the strikers face losing everything, friends become enemies, families are divided and the very future of this typical mid American town is threatened.

Thanks for sharing this sharp insight into a moment of real political upheaval—a pivot point toward ultra-liberal atomisation and the slow erosion of collective political power, leaving citizens increasingly adrift, isolated and unheard. It definitely helps make sense of today’s fractured, polarised landscape, in the US or elsewhere. Cheers (and long live the Village Idiot Trade Union!)

this is from the 90s. american dream is dead now. it's become a stratified society controlled by corpo overlords. in ancient athens and rome, the aristocrats dominated bc the burden of wars and running state on them. now plutocrats want the same privilege but won't pay their fair share. this is not about ideology. if inequality isn't fixed it'll consume us all
