Historical Mirror Showcasing the Needed Collective Bargaining of the Proletariat
8 February 2023
James Franco was in Danger of Over-Exposure During the Time of this Noble Attempt.

Here He Shines a Spot-Light on the Darkness of the Severe Oppression in the Depression by the Haves on the Have-Nots.

For Selfish, Arrogant, Control and to Shrink and Kill the Working-Class Revolt. And Bury Their Protests in Unmarked Graves.

Therefore be Forgotten by History and Cover-Up the Nefarious Deeds with Grave-Yard Dirt For Ever.

Like "Grapes of Wrath", this John Steinbeck Story is a Lesson for Humanity to Not Tolerate Inhumane Treatment and to Fight-Back with the Only Way They Can...

Collective Bargaining (Unions)...

a Lesson Willfully Forgotten or Ignored by President Ronald Regan as He Began the "Union Busting-Bashing" Trend. Still in Effect Today by the "Right Wing".

Replaced with a "Trickle-Down" Approach.

That Declares All will Prosper if the Oligarchs are Left Alone to Practice "Unfettered Capitalism", and are Free to Operate on Their Dictatorial Decisions Concerning Wages and Benefits.

40 Years Later, and the Struggling Lower and Middle Class are Still Waiting for the "Trickle-Down" to Start Trickling.

Back to James Franco. At a Certain Time He was in So Many Assembly Line Movies So Often that One had to Wonder How He Found the Time.

It was Good to See He Spent Some of that Time Directing and Starring in this Depression-Era Throw-Back to, Once Again,

Remind 21st Century Citizens that Eternal Vigilance is Needed.

For the Vast Majority to "Stand Up" for the Rights of the Average Folks in a Civilized Nation Undergoing the "Slings and Arrows" of the 1%.

This is Part of that Story, and with the Help of a Decent Production and a Willing, Believable, and Good Cast,

that Summons the Source Material to a Much Needed Resurrection and Breathes New Life for a Fact of Life, that even Former Presidents Sometimes Need Re-Schooling.

As a Reminder a Lesson Worth Revisiting and is Certainly...Worth a Watch.
