Hey, all, long time reader, first time poster. Not 100% if this belongs here, if not, feel free to delete/re-post elsewhere. (TW: Mental Health/Suicide) So after finally being diagnosed with bi-polar 2/major depressive disorder/etc back in 2019, I quit my toxic job and got medicated. I worked a bit after, Amazon Delivery for a month, door to door insurance salesman for a month, but since March of 2020, I was unemployed until just last month. I quit that job two days ago. Despite the global pandemic, 2020 and 2021 were pretty decent years for me personally. I didn't have to work thanks to some savings, my mother and the unemployment coming in. Instead I worked on myself. I lost like 50 lbs, I stopped drinking booze (fell off the wagon for a bit, but I'm back on now!), I was going on walks, I started a youtube channel (which has…

Most brands are owned by one of a very few number of companies. They use people to work for one of their companies and everyone else has to pay in to something.

She also said she drove by twice and it didn’t seem that busy I said why didn’t you stop by and help she just ignored me. I’m so close to quitting and walking out. I think she hates me because all the customers ask for me to help and…

I wish the truckers would actually protest for something real. Their jobs will be automated within our lifetime. They are still making a fraction of what they were making 40 years ago. Housing is still unaffordable for the vast majority of workers. Education is more expensive than ever. Their children’s futures are being stollen right underneath them. Even if you don’t think climate change is that bad, hunters and fisherman can see the immediate negative changes that are happening right in front of them. They still can’t smoke cannabis on vacation or on weekends, even though they live in a legal country (or at least American truckers can’t.) Yet there are shutting things over wearing a mask and public health policies. I think what they are doing is better than nothing like Americans have been doing since Occupy, but the reason behind it is minimal in importance compared to housing,…
