The old age of our political leaders in the US amounts to public gaslighting if younger generations.

We have a totally different economic and societal experience compared to them. Yet they indirectly blame younger generations by withholding access to leadership positions.

The “Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen” is busting socialism in its ranks, even complaining to the Department of Labor about it in what seems to be a call to overturn an election (the union is complaining of “election interference” because a candidate shared socialist material).

'Eddie Hall, the sole candidate running for president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET) against incumbent Dennis Pierce, has been sanctioned by a union disciplinary committee for sharing an article from the World Socialist Web Site. In addition, the committee has recommended that the BLET file a complaint with the Department of Labor against the WSWS on the absurd grounds that its reporting on the union vote constituted election interference.' 'Late Monday night, the WSWS received reports from knowledgeable sources that Hall, a relatively unknown local officer, had won the BLET presidency. The BLET apparatus, however, has inexplicably announced that it is delaying releasing results until sometime next week.' Edited and added: 'However, it appears Hall could still be disqualified as a candidate on the basis of the complaint. The initial complaint demanded Hall’s disqualification on the ground that he had accepted assistance from a “non-member employer”…

Students feeling pressured to take out more debt for graduate degrees for positions that don’t require them is damaging to our country.

You don’t need a Masters degree in communications, business, marketing or data analysis to learn those skills. There are low cost courses online and books that explain those topics.

a message from a grind culture type

I'm one of those people that get made fun of a lot on this sub. I say yes to pretty much every side task and weird request at work. I pick up extra shifts, and often pull 16 hour days. I'm lucky that I'm in a job that has well rewarded me for that, but it's not been this way in every job. The secret most guys like this won't tell you is that they are self medicating. I am incredibly mentally ill and have no idea what to do with myself outside of work. Work is the only social interaction I or many other grind culture guys ik get. Honestly the only thing keeping me from killing myself some days is knowing they can't replace me. Work is exploitative, and I'm fueling an addiction. I tip my hat to all of you working to break the cycle.

Gun pulled on me, told to work…

I worked (I quit) at PCC Community Markets and on the way to work I had a gun pulled on me in a road rage incident. I was about 10 mins from work and about 40 mins from home. So I called 911 and they said they would meet me at PCC. When I arrived at work I finally realized what had happened and started crying my eyes out. I went into the store and asked for my lead, when she came to me I told her (while sobbing) what happened. She told me “Oh, ok.. well talk to the cops then clock in and work late”. Me being in shock said “okay..” I then walked out to my car and waited for my boyfriend to arrive. I talked to the cops which didn't help anything and made me feel worse (another story). When my boyfriend arrived I told him…

I feel like I need to quit but I don’t know if I should

I will try to keep this as brief as possible, but there’s a lot. I’m at a complete loss right now and I really appreciate anyone that takes the time to read this and give advice. I’m so tired of this. General background info: 1. I’m 20F, have worked in food service for 2 years, and 6 months in retail at my current job. I’ve always been very good at the jobs I’ve had, based on feedback from bosses, coworkers, and customers. 2. The only issue I’ve had at jobs is being late, admittedly, but never more than 10 minutes. Every time you are late/call off/break any other rule at my current job, it gets recorded. 3. My assistant manager, Melissa, knows my mom because they go to the same gym, but they aren’t friends, just acquaintances. She didn’t get me the job, I applied through the website and interviewed…

There’s a pinned comment telling me to cross post this ad to facilitate discussion, but for some “strange” reason I can’t. I bet it’s just a glitch and totally isn’t intentional to protect the advertisers, right?
