Doing Research, Found a Cool Visual

Capitalism has generated an average of a whopping $20,000 in total surplus value for every human: i.e. ( Global Household Wealth – Global Debt ) / Population (est 8 billion). Up from an estimated $150 per person pre-Rome (iirc, from a Euro-centric historical perspective). Also take note of the difference between the M2 supply and total debt; how the world owes over three times what it can afford to pay

Weird “personal history” form

Okay so this is from a job I applied and interviewed for back in the end of 2022. They asked me to fill this out as part of the application. It starts pretty normal, but I was weirded out by the financial section. Also, they wanted to know information about my spouse, any kids, and what I do each day of the week OUTSIDE of work. It was for a life insurance company so I feel like they were going to try and sell insurance to ME when I was there for a job. I emailed them back after this and told them I was no longer interested.

Was free from a 9-5 for a year and half, and three weeks back, I’m ready to give up

So this is just a rant about hating my job honestly, because I just got off late and have to go into my second job I'm an adult woman still living with my parents and siblings ( who isn't these days at 21?) I've been helping with bills since I got my first full time job at 18. I worked overnights at a gas station for an entire year and it was miserable. My boss was an asshole who couldn't keep employees and I was always covering shifts and tasks that other employees wouldn't do. I eventually quit this job because I was so overworked and tired I wanted to lay on the train tracks next to the building. During the time I worked at the gas station, I started doing side gigs as a housekeeper. It was way different than any job I've had before it. I decided my…

I really wish my GM didn’t just tell me this

I live in a 1 party consent state to be clear up front. I am going to send an email to both DM and GM as a way to get this in writing I know how to handle this situation even in an employer friendly state that is IN. So to begin I work at a restaurant, a peice of equipment that I work with every time has been left on all night multiple times and this is a dangerous thing leaving the kettles on overnight leads to multiple different problems. Every time this happens I say something and it's fine for a while. I understand accidents happens people are forgetful I understand all that but I've been trying to tell them multiple times and it still happens more than it even should. Eventually it stops working and I'm down a kettle. Pissed off as can be not happy and…
