Antiwork

Documentary just documents a literal conspiracy to push a completely unsafe plane into the skies and keep it there, despite them knowing how unsafe it was and even after one fatal crash. AND…shout out to our justice system, Boeing paid a fine and no criminal charges were ever filed.

This December I got a promotion and a 7% raise!(Where I live in the southwest US, this is less then the inflation). Couple of recruiters reached out and I said I am interested and now I am fixed to start a new job that will be a 25% jump from the current job(even with the raise calculated). This will be my 4th job in 5 years and I will be making 3 times of what my first job paid. Moral of the story, jump the ship the first opportunity you get.

Originally made this a comment, but I'll make it a post of its own in case anyone else wants to share.

Encouraging multiple people to lie on their resume isn’t encouraging fair pay at all, it’s just ammunition for employers to assume we’re all lying. Second of all, I don’t know why you’re bragging. YOU succeeded in lying to someone… for now. What happens if you get caught? What happens if you get someone else caught? What happens if “fake it till you make it” doesn’t work and you don’t know how to complete a job? And if this doesn’t apply to you, would you really want to take responsibility for someone else following your “advice” on Reddit and turning in a terrible job or…

Thoughts on national consumption tax replacing income tax? Taxable income is highly leveraged against poor people with no assets. Unfortunately wealthy people have the power to disable this notion. What are your thoughts on purely a sales tax, vs income taxes?
