How did we go from the norm being one man working 40 hours a week even blue collar and being able to support a spouse, purchase a home, have two children and send them to college to the government telling us that it is our fault if we work full time and can’t even rent a studio apartment for OURSELVES? By 1960’s logic, two people should be able to work part time at 20 hours and be able to purchase a home and have a family.

There are over 2M subscribers to this sub, if we can get 10% of users actively contributing towards a common goal we can achieve a goal big or small Here’s some basic ideas I have to initiate some sort of change in the work-to-live society we all despise but are forced to participate in: Allow polls as posts in the sub. It might help us find common ground. I’m making a bulleted list of work reform points in the notes app. I will share it as a comment on this post. PLEASE add anything you think is a good idea that I haven’t written down yet. What famous people-celebrities, music artists, politicians can we get to…

Job want uniform reimbursement?
So I signed up to be a class 1 police officer. (Part time seasonal, basically “rent a cop” for tickets and security). Worked 2 days I never went to the academy because I found a better opportunity. They paid for my uniform. Now asking to be reimbursed, is this normal? I made a total of $208 (WHICH THEY NEVER DEPOSITED). and the uniform comes out to $148.
