Plea from an older millennial. Elections do matter.

I came of age in the early 2000s. I suffered during the bad years under Bush where business tried to expand profitability in a no growth environment through short termism and downward pressure on wages. Where a few dum dums got their revenge on everyone by being the sociopathic mid level managers to do the dirty work in return for bonus pay. It was awful and where alot of our modern problems descend from. Last night the President said this. “”We have a choice,” Biden said. “One way to fight inflation is to drive down wages and make Americans poorer. I have a better plan to fight inflation: lower your costs, not your wages.” “That means make more cars and semiconductors in America, more infrastructure and innovation in America,” Biden said, reeling off a list of U.S. manufacturing announcements over the past year. “Instead of relying on foreign supply chains,…

Work rewards as real currency

I have a hobby as a photographer that while enjoyable, is far from rewarding financially (not a complain, I don't chase money from it). Many people offer promotion and 'exposure dollars', as coined so expertly by The Oatmeal. https://theoatmeal.com/comics/exposure https://preview.redd.it/ng0aolzvsyk81.png?width=800&format=png&auto=webp&s=3a597b01c26e53acdffc8c3c366b763363f0cba6 So what I'm proposing is to follow this ethos, and try to pass on whatever cheap gesture your bosses throw your way into the rest of your life. Offer a slice of pizza from that pizza party as part payment of your rent, a clipart laden letter of thanks to your mechanic, trite motivational posters to the tax department. Please share the results here for the lols, but more importantly with your management so they may get an idea of how useless it is to your life, instead of a livable wage and conditions.

Is there a difference Ethernet corporate landlords and small scale landlords?

Do you make any distinction between corporate landlords and let’s say someone renting their 2nd or 3rd home? What are these distinctions and what lead you to these conclusions. If you were to say get a 2nd or 3rd home through inheritance how would you use it to help someone’s housing needs?

After seeing someone else talk about turning to sex work after a terrible job experience, I thought I’d share my story!

This was years ago, but the TLDR of the story is that taking nudes and being a cam girl saved me from a terrible job. I worked nights at a hospital in the medical records department. My job was to file records, get patient forms from the floors and file loose paperwork. I had to answer the phone and send patient information to other hospitals in emergency situations as well, but that was rare for me to do. I was mostly alone, but had 1 co worker two nights a week. Let me tell you. This coworker had it all figured out. She would come in and look busy until everyone else left and then watch netflix, because her 1 job was to watch the phones. I hated her for that at the time, but I was young and dumb. I took the night shift because I was going to…
