Antiwork

Has anyone done it and how long did it take to find new employment? I’m at my whits end and can’t take this anymore. The jobs only $16 an hour with an hour and a half commute somedays, so It’s not like I’m being paid a good living wage.

*************Morse Park • 7 hr ago Dear Parents: Please let/require your middle and high school students find ways to earn money. They are a commodity to their communities assisting with things around the neighborhood like lawn mowing and clean up, babysitting, snow shoveling, life guarding, restaurant work, etc. We’ve seen life without them the last several years and it’s not pretty.

So what they expect me to do?

I was thinking about how Walmart and Amazon utilize government assistance to pay poverty wages, so the states subsidize their costs via Medicaid and Food Stamp programs for these working poor. I was thinking we should enact a legislation that fines companies the cost of these programs per employee if they employee has been utilizing your wages as a sole income source for more than 3 months. Example: You work at Amazon for 3 months, you qualify for Medicaid, low income housing assistance and Food Stamps to be able to afford food and health care and get accepted. Let's say it costs $20k worth of resources….. Amazon gets levied that fine per employee until they raise wages so that an employee working full time can afford food, healthcare and housing. Currently, Amazon workers cannot afford to feed themselves, house themselves and pay for healthcare even after accounting for 60+ hour…
