Although it was originally supposed to provide an opportunity for workers to meet and develop their political power, Labor Day has become little more than a paid vacation. However, on Labor Day this year, voters who work for a living, even those whose employment has been interrupted by Covid-19, would do well to ponder the classic Election Day question: “Will you be better off with a Democratic or a Republican president?”

It is difficult for Black youth to hold the highest respect for the police who continue to scam the public treasury.

A universal national service program could help with efforts to reform policing in America.
