I got my schedule for next week and finally…

to officially change the term of “shareholder” to “parasite”. Just think of the comedic value. “War in eastern Europe: What does the current situation mean for the parasites?” “The parasites' trust is our greatest asset.” “Think of the parasites!” “Minimum wage poses a considerable threat to parasites' profit.” Or on Instagram and LinkedIn: ” How to think like the most successful parasites.“ “Become a parasites by following these steps.” “The secret to the parasites' mindset.”

My 4 year olds response was on display for everyone to see during Back to School Night. I’m not sure if proud is the right word here.

Quiet Paycuts, When inflation goes up but your wage doesn’t

We typically get a raise in the first of October, today I found out they are giving us a 2% cost of living increase. 2 Fucking Percent! Never mind profits being up, the executives getting their usual fat bonus, us wage earners got the shaft today. EAT THE RICH!
