Today is International Workers’ Day, a celebration of the accomplishments of the working classes and their struggle for an honest workplace. This is a good thing, but a fight far from being won.

So if you aren’t out marching, take a moment to think about where all your possessions come from, how are they made, and how you can help make things better.

In America, May Day has a bad reputation, probably because of all the Soviet parades, labor agitation, and crashed illegal spy planes. In fact, President Eisenhower made May 1 Loyalty Day in the United States so, uh, go be loyal too. A good start would be to watch A View to a Kill, starring Grace Jones as May Day.
