The US government is like YouTube. No matter how much backlash they get for their policies, they don’t care what you think.

When you first had to watch ads, people freaked, and they just added more. When they took away the dislikes, people freaked, and YouTube didn’t care because people didn’t have anything better. They still got their clicks. The government is just like that. No matter how awful they make life for us, and how much we complain, they don’t care because we have no choice but to live here. They still get your taxes.

Does passion lead to homelessness?

To awsner this question I do agree passion is important can passions lead to homelessness? 95% of business's fail in the first year. Most people's passion's I can assume are music/acting/school teaching/ Most music does not sell for most people to have a enough monthly income. School teaching requires a bachelor's from a university and years of experience to teach in a classroom. My answer to most people find a skillset that you can make money from to avoid homelessness, cooking/service skills/security work most of that work pays better.

AITA For wanting to find a place of work that will let me play a bit with work hours?

To explain further; I have worked three different jobs, and in all three jobs i was constantly harried for arriving late… pretty much every day, but by anywhere from 2 to 10 minutes. I lost the latter two jobs because of this. The first job was in a convenience store, 5 years. The second was on a foodstuff production line. 6 years. The third was on another production line, for lockers. 8 Months. It's a bad habit i can't seem to shake; whenever i have to be somewhere or have something to do, my ADHD will kick in and i'll try to get one more thing done at home before i go. I've never been able to shake it off for more than a few days. I've asked my bosses to compromise, that i would give them extra time in the evening or be available for offdays. While at work,…

It seems to me prices are rising more than inflation should dictate. I think it’s because of the way profit is calculated. Am I wrong?

So when I worked retail and had to deal with pricing items for sale, there was a formula used that came out to multiplying the cost by 130% to get the sell price. An item that cost $3 would sell for $3.90 and there is $.90 profit. But take that same item and increase the cost by $1.00. Using the formula, sell price becomes $5.20, not $4.90, making it a $.30 increase in profit to the seller. Businesses are not only recouping the increase in cost but they're taking profit on it as well. Am I missing something? edit: Replaced “They're not only” with “Businesses are not only”

“We can’t afford to give you a raise”

I was denied my request for a raise from my CEO today, because the company “can’t afford it”. All I wanted was a raise in line with inflation. Funnily enough, he could afford a $100k truck, new 5 bed house, house extension, bathroom refurbishment, all in the last year. The best part was, he told me “I don’t want you to think I’m not making sacrifices too, I’m only going on 1 holiday this year instead of 3”. When a business is struggling, why is it that the workers have to suffer financially but the business owner doesn’t? Isn’t that supposed to be the whole risk/reward side to owning your own business and being responsible for how it performs?
