Month: March 2022

Can't you just feel the excitement? Wow!

I want to know when we finally snap and tell big business “no more”. When do we look at gas prices and food prices and medical prices and then look at how little we make and say it’s too much? I am all for venting and a lot of the memes here are funny but I just don’t see where we go? When we go? How we go? Because I don’t want you to stay this way forever, and I doubt many of you do either.

Labour movements frequently fall victim to attacking people just a little higher on the ladder than they are instead of focusing on the ultra wealthy that are actually the problem. Effectively behaving like crabs in a bucket, anyone who manages to somewhat improve their personal situation becomes an enemy. It's the same way of thinking that causes people to attack minimum wage because EMTs only make $14/h instead of seeing the big picture where we have individuals making millions per hour we reframe the problem around our current wages. Falsely painting current wages as a reasonable baseline, instead of the product of decades of suppression and stagnation. I'm raising this because there is a post on this sub from earlier today trying to frame someone pointing out that $100k/year is not the height of opulence as being massively out of touch.

I work at a movie theater in a large city. We use to get free meals all the time, until about a month ago, in which my manager claimed they had to stop for “inventory issues”. This affected me a lot because I was homeless for a while, and my job was the only place I could eat a full meal. A few days ago, a famous singer visited our theater. She requested for a private auditorium, which my manager gave her for free. He's a big fan of hers, so he kicked everyone out of one of the theaters for her (they all got seats in a different theater). He then gave her 30 free popcorns, drinks, candy, and food. Me and my coworkers had to make all of this out of the blue and quickly, which was stressful. The managers personally served it to her, and they received…
