For most of U.S. history, general strikes have been rare–not because workers lacked the will to fight, but because the ruling class moved quickly and violently whenever that power surfaced.Editor (MR Online)

LA MELONI ESALTA UN'ITALIA IMMAGINARIA
Dal 2021 al 2025:
+ 24-25% per beni alimentari e di prima necessità
+ 34% per l'energia
- 8,8% del potere d'acquisto
Sono dati dell'ISTAT, che le sei reti di teleMeloni e i giornali d'estrema destra ben si guardano dal divulgare.
Va osservato che questi insostenibili aumenti sono grandemente maggiori dell'inflazione generale, che, infatti, è stata di circa dell'1.5-1.9% nel 2025.
Rincari sospetti - soprattutto per i beni di prima necessità -, tanto che l'Antitrust ha avviato un'indagine sulla grande distribuzione, evidenziando maggiori disuguaglianze, che incidono inevitabilmente sul borsellino delle famiglie più fragili e di ceto medio.
È evidente, perciò, che questa impennata dei prezzi è incongrua con l'andamento dell'inflazione.
Ne è conseguente il legittimo allarme sociale sollevato dalla sinistra.
E i salari?
Nominalmente in crescita, realmente in calo, con palese riduzione del potere d'acquisto: è come se fossero calati dell'8,8%
Il loro divario con quelli in Unione Europea è altamente significativo.
Secondo le più aggiornate rilevazioni di EUROSTAT e OCSE, lo stipendio medio lordo mensile italiano nel 2023 era di circa 2.729 euro, contro la media europea di 3.155 euro.
I lavoratori italiani, quindi, guadagnavano in media 429 euro in meno al mese degli altri europei. Il divario annuale è, così, di oltre 5.000 euro su 12 mensilità. E le cose negli ultimi due anni non sono migliorate.
I salari italiani - è noto - rimangono fermi, con una crescita più lenta che in Spagna e in Francia.
Non va sottaciuto che è sempre più tardivo l'ingresso dei giovani nel mondo del lavoro e che la loro permanenza occupaazionale è normalmente discontinua.
Sì aggiunga che moltissimi contratti sono scaduti da anni e gli adeguamenti sono lenti.
La produttività è poi stagnante, tanto che le imprese, soprattutto le più piccole, attribuiscono a essa la difficoltà di sostenere aumenti significativi delle retribuzioni.
Il lavoro a basso salario, inoltre, caratterizza larga parte del tessuto produttivo italiano: in molti settori, i livelli retributivi restano compressi da anni di moderazione salariale, da contratti precari e da una contrattazione integrativa poco diffusa.
Del resto, pur quando gli aumenti vengono riconosciuti, sono neutralizzati - come si sottolineava - dai rincari dei prezzi e dall'inflazione.
Irrita, in definitiva, la litania vittimistica della Meloni verso chi la incalza sulle sue menzogne del "tutto va bene".

Atención, este es un toot de autopromoción
Como recordaréis, hace una semana os anuncié que en febrero saldrá publicada mi novela "Roca y cristal" con la editorial EntreLibros. Os prometí que os iba a dar la turra con esta novela y yo cumplo mis promesas 
Una de las cosas que me gustaría compartir con vosotres es la playlist de la novela. Es muy especial para mí, porque no solo es la música que escuchaba mientras la escribía, sino que tiene algunas canciones que realmente parecen hablar de la historia y los personajes, como si hubieran sido escritas para ella 
Como es un poco larga, he hecho una selección de 8 temas, los que considero más representativos, y os los voy a ir enseñando cada lunes y viernes hasta que salga la novela. Sí, ya sé que hoy es martes, pero ayer no tuve tiempo y tampoco pude programarla antes 
Así que sin más dilación damos por inaugurada la 🎵 Playlist Roca y cristal 🎵
Empiezo con una canción que por algún motivo se ha convertido en la banda sonora oficial de la novela. No sé si es por la letra o por la melodía, pero siempre que la escucho veo a mis niñes, Abril y Niel, en mi cabeza
