Happy Friday, Contrarians!

Undaunted
Each week, The Contrarian features a standout figure for democracy. For this week, we honor multiple figures that have organized to act as one: Unions.

This is disappointing me. I want to read facts with informed analysis, but the adjectives you include, like “creepy” oligarch, makes me not trust your neutral reporting.

I’m so tired of the adjectives.
