Buy less stuff and work more, the billionaires need even more /s

make it 6 months.

Ohhhh, do not get me started. I’ve worked from home for years and still overworked so much that I got sick. The PJs didn’t change the fact that I was up at 4am.

Warning: Checking the pay ratio of CEOs to the average wage will only cause further discontent. This can be done through the SEC Edgar search engine.

We all know America is not a democracy, however, it isn't a capitalist nation either (because in a capitalist nation the the motor and financial companies would have gone under), it is a corporatocracy.

Not just the French. The US has the worst workers' rights in the developed world. Almost no other country has "at-will" employment. Other than for gross misconduct, I cannot simply be fired.

And if you die, there is no minimum to cover your funeral expenses.

That may be a keeper

78k over 26 years is 3k per year or 250 per month. I think that many people would be happily renting indefinitely for that type of rent. Not sure what kind of house Adam thinks he could possibly buy at this rate, even 26 years ago…

Like everything else that needs to get addressed, they drag their feet in hopes of us giving up fighting for it

And he has five eyes so he can look everyone in the eye and lie.

65 % of all US personal bankruptcies have a large medical expense component. The only country in the G8 with out universal health care. Not the greatest country in the world.

Having to find your own cover for when you are sick or want to take a holiday is such an odd thing to get my head around.

And we've strangled your generation with our national debt because we believe in raising deficits but not our taxes..... we are such good parents....

And to stop them from leaving for better paid and appreciated jobs.

Hard work gets punished with more, and the working class is more like the "starving" class

When people say "capitalism has raised people out of poverty" they tend to mean "capitalism has outsourced our poverty to other countries".

Because capitalism is indifferent towards essential values, but it has a soft spot for unscrupulous, heartless opportunists who, for the sake of material wealth, are willing to go over the dead bodies of those whom the essential workers are trying to save.

HOWEVER, doctors who vote right wing ARE partially responsible for the gouging of patients. https://twitter.com/_eric_reinhart/status/1581290947442540544?s=46&t=8CD0cMlC2GckCDuTuwyQ-Q

I started my job about a year and a half ago after leaving another one after being there for 15 years, I almost fell off my chair when the interviewer said their raises are based on work ethic, not“across the board”, wish me luck on my first review on new job

My gf is lucky... she lives in the same apartment in the last 15 years and had nice landlords (no joke, they were nice) who never raised the rent above inflation (even froze it 2 years during the pandemic even though it was not necessary in our case). Following the inflation, it should be about 1035$/month and we are paying 960$ for it. BUT, with what's happening in the last years, the average in my hometown for the same apartment is at a staggering 2500$/month (more than twice what it should be)! An incredibly small one-bedroom in a bad part of town (no transportation and far from everything) goes for 1275$/month. It's completely out of control.

I feel sorry for the remaining workers/waitstaff/etc that are stuck dealing with the short staffing at their workplace. But not sorry at all for the employer.

Go out at live your best life, guy who printed the sign. You do you

But then he will have to raise the price of his terrible coffee to pay those extra wages. /s

Brutally true

Ouch! This may be a dumb question but do the trucks not have air con?

so many people won't get this.

And the problem with this is that it only takes one person to work overtime to completely undermine this. Stop normalising unpaid overtime, people!!!!

The corresponding question is: “Why is the US education system slowly getting worse compared to the rest of the world?”

I'm not quite sure how I feel about this, I have a colleague who lives 5-minute walk from the office, I live about 1 hour away, in the evening time it can take up to 20 minutes longer. Why should my colleague get less pay or work longer hours than me, just because I decided to buy a house in the countryside? (it's not so much of an issue for me or my colleagues since the pandemic, because most of us work from home, but the theory still applies)

The billionaires would kill a continent for a few precious pennies rather than give workers a single thing. Look at Nestle!

Yes!

Teachers shouldn't complain . There are not a lot of work sites that now allow you to carry guns. (Yes I'm being satirical)

15 years of loyalty, 800 hours of sick time accrued, I’m that last looking clown, with out the smile
