Subsidized commute

Crazy how employers have normalized that getting employees on-site is an employee expense. If you work 9 to 5, and your commute is a half hour, you should be walking out your door at 9, leaving work @ 4:30, and submitting gas and mileage for reimbursement

The ‘System’ is designed so that the ones who held the power during establishment, will forever remain ontop.

House prices will never cease rising. Cost of living will forever rise. The gap in resources and life quality will forever rise. Wages will forever stagnate. Those families with the businesses/buildings/power/resources will look after their own therefore making salary redundant for those people. Whilst difficulty to survive, live and thrive will continually increase as to make those salaries increasingly necessary and exponentially less valuable. How was this problem solved before I wonder?

boring Facebook drama question

I made a Facebook group post; the group is a private company employee group (non union to talk about work and not letting management control the narrative). I made a post about a similar job in my trade field that is getting a huge pay raise. My post was time for our company to step up the pay. That's it end of the post. Someone comment if I have it so bad that I can go to the higher paying company. This comment made me angry; I probably should just ignore the comment. I know it wouldn't do any good arguing with a company person. Why can't I like my job but also want more money? I was trying to think of a clever way to respond, but everything that I think of sounds like I'm just insulting them. if I were to respond to his post. What would be…

What do you think about starting a business, as opposed to working for someone else?

I know most of the people here are against work (duh), but what about if that work is going towards your own business, that you’re actually passionate about? Like most of you, I absolutely hate corporate culture and everything to do with it. I absolutely do not intend on creating some multi million dollar corporation. However, I do enjoy working, as long as it’s something I like, and am passionate about. I love making progress and advancing further in life, and feel as though a business would allow me to put in 100% of my effort into my own passion, rather than putting it straight into some corporate scum’s pockets. Of course I would try my best to avoid all of the things I don’t like about other companies/jobs along the way. I’d like to pay a good wage, give benefits, etc, to the fullest extent I can afford. I…

A quote to think about this morning

“These tyrants, living solely on plunder, and on the labour of their slaves, and applying all their energies to the seizure of still more plunder, and the enslavement of still other defenceless persons; increasing, too, their numbers, perfecting their organisations, and multiplying their weapons of war, they extend their conquests until, in order to hold what they have already got, it becomes necessary for them to act systematically, and co-operate with each other in holding their slaves in subjection. But all this they can do only by establishing what they call a government, and making what they call laws . . . Thus substantially all the legislation of the world has had its origin in the desires of one class of persons to plunder and enslave others, and hold them as property.” Lysander Spooner
