tHaNk yOu FoR wAsTiNg My TiMe-Manager

I worked very briefly thankfully in a fast food chain. I literally was so fed up at the working conditions that next day I told the manager on duty “Hey this ain't it for me”. She said ” Okay I understand turn in your uniform.” Also I didn't need to finish that shift. Franchise owner called me saying I they gave me everything in this very brief time. I said “I'm sorry but it's not for me.” She then says “Thank you for wasting my time.” Gurl I did what I did and she knew it was temporary. I literally had nightmares of people in line waiting with the grease alarm going off. I want to be part of the change fast food workers are treated like utter garbage and its so sad. I know I am weak for leaving early but this only lit a fire that burns brighter…

The worst of the worst, and a question of advice please.

How to deal with a male boss that avoids me

First off, I don’t think it’s a performance issue. He constantly gives me praises in private as well as in front of the company senior leadership team. He also helped me out and had my back many times when I asked him to back me up. When I asked him for feedback for improvement, he said there nothing else he could ask for everything else is great… But he has been acting super awkward lately for a few months, to the point Idk if I have done something wrong. I see him walk up to my other colleagues and have no problem talk about work or mention me lol..but with me, he will email me about work stuff when we are 10 feet away and I had to go into his office to ask clarification anyways. This happened more than 6 times. When I am in his office, he acts…

The Most Dangerous Class

This made me think of this group: https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/03/the-most-dangerous-class/arguably the biggest threat to our economic and political system … comes from the growing number of underemployed, overeducated people. They’re what has been described in Britain as the lumpenintelligensia: alienated, angry, and potentially agents of our social and political deconstruction.

Serious question, am I the only one that just realized that ALL housing revolves around buying or “borrowing” someone else’s already owned property?

And on top of that the housing market just bounces around according to what people who live, or come to live, earn and are willing to pay for it? Plus, there’s no such thing as like real poor housing, no one leaves their home to use the outhouse to use the restroom like my families home in Mexico.

Is consumption unethical under all circumstances?

We've all seen the Sonic meme about there being no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism. But I had This is random thought that's been bouncing around my head. Is consumption by its nature unethical and if so, should we treat it and understand it as a necessary evil? What do you think? (P.s. please don't be to harsh on me if you disagree/think this is a stupid thought. I'm just curious if anyone's had a similar thought or if there's something to this thought)
