Can I work a little anticonsumption into my antiwork “I hate my job” rant?

First things first, I’m leaving this job this month as long as I find a new one. I work at a mom n’ pop shop for weed paraphernalia, and it’s as dead-end as dead-end gets. I’ve been here 3.5 years and someone who started after me (with less work experience and genuinely bad customer service/people skills) got promoted to manager over me. The job was fine before she started and then got promoted, and it’s only gotten shittier since. You’d think a leftist, alternative, gen Z person would be into pro-worker shit, but she isn’t. So we did inventory for the both of the two stores recently, and only my boss and manager were counting stuff while I helped customers and cleaned up their messes.

For all you “managers” on here, I have a question.

The policy that you all “managers” like to enforce, the “if you call out you need to cover your shift.” What is it you all are doing that either one, you cannot manage your staff to find coverage, or two cover the shift yourself. Are you all soooo busy in your little closet sized office reading reddit, answering emails, going over paperwork, that you cannot manage your own staff. You need to understand, that when we call out sick, call out for emergencies, or call out cause we need just a break, that we do not care if we find coverage. We already took that first step in calling out, we are going to follow through and not show up regardless of coverage. When you take the control of the situation, be the leader you are paid to be, and managed your own people, you actually would save yourself, and…

Anyone else ticked off at dumb “…’s economy added x number of jobs” headlines?

Like, where are they? And do they pay more than 10 dollars an hour? It's like it's only good news for bankers. I hate this timeline.

TV Show Idea: Make CEO’s work and live off their lowest-paid job, until they can rebuy the most expensive meal they had that year.

This would also include drinks and them trying to get reservations at the exclusive restaurants without relying on their assistants.
