Antiwork

I see the minimum wage of XX/hr as the wrong fight personally. it is a forever fight, by the time we get anything it is already too late and we need to start fighting for the new XX/hr and then we fatigue out and they win. I think we need official ruling on what minimum wage is for. We need legal definition of the intent of minimum wage. Something like – Minimum wage should keep 1 person living above the poverty line if they work 40 hours a week – Minimum wage should keep 1 family (a couple and 1 child) living above the poverty line if working 40 hours a week. ​ those are meant as examples but basically need a federal recognition of what minimum wage is. Then you just annually update it each year based on region or zipcode and what the poverty line is for that…

I can’t cope with my office job. I’m paid for 40 hours a week to do boring tedious work that I hate, and counting lunch breaks I’m in the office for 42.5 hours a week. My commute is 2 hours each way, so this takes my 42.5 hours up to 62.5 hours a week that are committed to work. I am exhausted by the time I get home and have neither the time or energy to do anything other than shower, eat quick processed food and sleep. I cannot keep doing this. I hate that this is my life. I am losing my mind and the will to live. How can I leave this lifestyle?

So, I just tried to do a basic search within this subreddit for Big Y and got no hits. Does that mean they’re a decent company to work for? Any leads would be helpful. I’m likely accepting a job regardless, just wanna know what I’m getting into. From the little I read, it seems like an okay place to spend my time, forcefully, (“at will” is bullshit, considering that if you aren’t working and staying on the grid, you get in trouble, so…)

Elon musk is such an inspiration to me. This is a guy who believes in hard work, family and innovation – Just like me. That's why he's anti-union, leaves all child rearing to the mother(s) of his children and allows his companies to receive tax breaks and subsidies from governments around the world so he can make his penis rocket better than the other penis-rockets out there. He's a sound guy who worried about the world. He says we need to make more babies or we're not going to have enough workers to make more penis-rockets and cars. He is the richest man on the planet because he is smart. Smart enough to be born to a family that owned an emerald mine in south africa. Smart enough to be born to parents who enabled him to have one of the best educations you could buy and then smart enough…
