Antiwork

Work 20 hours a week somewhere? They need to be kicking in half the cost of a medical plan into an account. So if you have multiple part time jobs, you've got funds to get something on the exchange. You'd expect to see fewer BS attempts to keep people just under full time though since you're taking away their incentive.

I work for a major hospital system and am overall paid decent, but I cannot stand our attendance policy. We have an ‘occurrence’ system in place for missing work regardless of the reason. My kids have been sick non-stop since October and I’ve called in to take them to the doctor 3 times since November.

The struggle for political and therefore economic justice is a battle of narratives, of which stories will prevail in the hearts and minds of everyday citizens. Speaking against unjust popular narratives is never easy because of the corporate and political interests that defend, reinforce, and desperately try to keep them alive.
