Odense, Denmark knows what’s up
This early morning I woke up to a paralyzed left side of the face, because of an herpes virus that taadaaaa…. Is usually activated when stress lowers your defense system Fuck putting your heart at work. Sink that ship. There are no rewards. TL;DR I was trying to be an awesome employee, now I look like Jeff bezos, sans the huge bank account
I work in hospital foodservice, and our kitchen manager is a pretty proud-to-be-conservative, yay Trump Boo Biden kind of guy. Joe Rogan and Facebook seem to be where he gets all his news and opinions, but his Covid opinions have been very factual since we are in a hospital.Lately, we've begun doing some hiring. He went from the fairly grounded and factual “Post-Covid labor market is really tight, we can't get anybody for even $15/hr for basic kitchen prep work” to a new outlook.He says the labor market has flipped, and now because of high inflation, pretty soon hiring will be easy, and we can cut our labor budget again (pay less), and hire more part timers.Where is he getting this outlook from? Is this a new conservative talking point? I'm curious as to what the top-down logic is here. Assuming people will be struggling enough to take second part…
“If you don’t like it, leave” but how?
Me and my SO have wanted to leave the country and start somewhere new for years but we can't because the places that we want to live have immigration policies that won't allow people to move there without very very very specific circumstances. Which I get, a country just can't open their doors to anyone gaining citizenship, but there's not even a 5 year process or something I can find to begin working towards citizenship or even a visa. I'm sick of it here, America is pretty sick of me being here, they tell us to leave if we don't like it, but I can't figure out how. Everywhere has their problems, I just want affordable healthcare, living wages and education for my family.
