On Saturday, May 4th, 2024, I spoke at the free speech forum Chicago College of Complexes, for May Day, and explained why I believe that repealing the 1947 Taft-Hartley Act would result in greater freedoms for both consumers and workers, expanding both market and labor freedoms simultaneously. This presentation puts specific focus on how to expand the right to boycott.
The video recording of that presentation is available at the following link, which leads to Chicago College of Complexes's YouTube channel, run by Tim Bolger.

[Note: I apologize for the issue at 1 hour, 40 minutes, and 23 seconds; there is a gap in the video there because internet access was temporarily lost at that time.
What was cut-out was my comment on the Citizens United ruling (regarding campaign finance reform). My full views on that ruling can be found in my March 2024 article, "Response to the Illinois Green Party's State Candidate Questionnaire for the 2024 Election", available at the following address:

On May 10th, I added several slides, and more information, to the PowerPoint presentation which I used to present on May 4th. Today, I am making that expanded PowerPoint presentation available for download here. It is a .pptx file.
