THANK YOU. A perfectly .. albeit illegal.. way of non-violently protesting is for all antiwork cashiers to routinely miss a few items across the belt. You don't have to even be dishonest. Just scan things insanely fast, INSANELY FAST, and you're bound to miss a few right? If you're really brave like this little gen-z girl at the cash register today, you'll look people straight in the eyes and say, “Your total is [a way smaller number].” I would say more but.. ya know… the law exists. Have a great day yall!
Yeah, it is not rocket science
Y’all converted my right-wing ass.
Previous opinions: Free healthcare is bad because it raises taxes, we should just make it cheaper. Minimum wage isn't supposed to be livable. $8/hr seems like a good federal minimum wage to keep prices cheap and get 16 year olds spending money. The rich's money is their money and they can do what they want with it. FUCK TIPPING. New opinions: Free healthcare honestly doesn't have much impact on the economy, and it would be nice to not pay an entire month's damn pay at $10/hr (before taxes) just to get one ambulance ride. Minimum wage is supposed to be livable. Fuck $15/hr, put that shit at $24/hr and I might feel like showing up to work on time. Make it scale with inflation too. The 25 richest people in the world could completely end poverty in the US for 44 million Americans and still be multi-billionaires. It would…
This is one of the most self entitled subreddit I've ever seen. The lack of empathy and the strong self insertion of your beliefs to be forced on others. There's reasonable people but most go out of their way to be counterproductive. They don't want to help realistically end work, they don't want to work, not caring about the ramifications of others. I can understand a movement for the betterment of the workforce through wages and environment, or to flip the agenda so businesses have to compete for workers like they do for customers if not more so, or encouraging unions and strikes and others to seek a better option for themselves and families but that's rarely what I see here. So, opinions? I see that many hate mine, most don't even read it, just the title then assume they know it all. That's counterproductive to progress and understanding.
We all have different definitions for similar things, that's the beauty of communication. To me work is the endeavors we take on in order to achieve something. Whether it's a paycheck, fitness, or mental health. I'm technically unemployed but working towards other things in life. I consider it work because it fits into my definition, and though I'll spend an entire day drawing animations or editing and I get no income from it. I greatly enjoy doing it and can't see myself doing much else theses days. Anyone in the same or opposite spectrum of working long hours, how do you feel about? When I was 18 I took pride in working 16hr shifts at warehouses(mainly because I didn't want to go home) and seeing an actually decent pay check from the overtime. Now I regret not just getting a better job, that place and pay were awful and sometimes…
