I am begging people who claim to care about cartoons and cartoonists to spend just 10 extra seconds of scrutiny before posting images, typically plenty enough time to discern slop. The Peanuts-based Boomer-bait doing the rounds lately is a particularly egregious example.

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

Can't help thinking of this cartoon by the great Bill Mauldin from 1967. Seems relevant to Trump today.
