Thats what I call entertainment!

Every other first world country on the planet has this .. except the US.

Excellent response

It's a fear and a sound one, especially if you're working to support others.

as an introvert .... I would LOVE to permanently work remote so that I could stay AWAY from everyone else's unnecessary drama

Wow that is super depressing

billionaires have 1000 MILLIONS , and Musk has 200 BILLION , it's both mind boggling and fcking sickening

My job is not exhausting at all compared to others, and I know I'm lucky for that. But it's clearly eating up my intellectual energy. I used to draw from time to time, and write short stories. Now I casually come home at 7 in the evening with zero creativity.

Start looking for all the big companies you don't really need to spend your money for on a daily basis, and thus could boycott permanently until they pay their taxes and decent wages to their employees. That seems a fair and quite satisfying thing to do.

I heard that growing up, people could pay rent on a single income and work good hours. I'll never have that life. I wake up every day knowing that it's only a matter of time until I turn 15, and then I need to start working. Otherwise, I'll never afford college. I want to become a psychologist and live in a nice apartment with a cat. But the most I'll ever be is an anxious, depressed McDonald's cashier.

Absolutely.

Stop asking corporations. START asking politicians why gas is $5+ per gallon, why we have income, gas, sales, property, corporate, and gift taxes. Why do we have 8% inflation, why does it cost hundreds of thousands of dollars for a worthless degree at a government run school, why do we continue to allow MILLIONS of illegal border crossings to dilute the labor pool so corporations DONT HAVE to pay you more (you're replaceable). Stop asking government to pay for your healthcare and start asking why it costs $1500 to walk into an emergency room, before anyone medical even talks to you. Why do some hospitals charge $100 for 2 aspirin. Think I'm lying? Google it. Ask why many multistate multiBILLION dollar hospital groups are tax free while they build giant billion dollar medical centers. On this website the truth always gets negative votes. Let's see how many I get this time.

Because how else are they going to afford nesting yachts and trips to space? Priorities people.

Work should be called modern slavery.

There is only one answer: greed.

Why would you ask corporations such stupid questions? They pay you low wages because this is how they get profit - by paying you less than the value you produce for them. This is the core of how Capitalism works and the only question is by how much they are going to rob you. And the answer is "the most they can get away with".

My bank yells at me when I don't have money in the savings account for a few months. Yet all the money I make goes to bills so the idea of a savings account is a laughable joke

New homes are being built in my area. They used to advertise in the low $200,000's....that wasn't too long ago. Now they are advertising in the low millions. Great. I guess I'll buy a tent.

10.6 million Americans made 35k or less in 2019. There were 165.7 million working Americans in 2020. 10.6 million is 6% of 165.7 million. If my blood is going to boil, it’s got to be about facts. However, I do get the point for the 6% who make 35k or less and are questioned about their standards.

Half of America? I need to see a stat for that. According to the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED), the median household income in America in 2020 was around 68,000. And, when looking at economic prosperity, it is necessary to use household data over individual data.

Most of the UK make less than £20,000 a year. That's $24,000 a year. So count your blessings

You get paid based on your skill. Poor people, in fact, have WAY more offspring than educated wealthy people. When I see your supposedly poor a*s with $500 sneakers and $800 Iphones, I'm not wondering why you don't own a house. You blow your money on s**t and have no ambition of plan for your future. Many very poor people have come to the US with NOTHING and make their way, get educated, buy houses, start businesses and live financially successful lives.

Is that the pay gap you bitches keep incessantly keep whining about?

Yeah. Worked somewhere with one of these where u had the option of putting your name, and if u didn't, it was "anonymous". So a co-worker did his as Elvis, and shockingly enough, he got called in to HR about it. Told us he did it to prove it wasn't anonymous at all

I think they actually did invent that flavor of Monopoly. To try to profit on the sadness. Doubt the board is fun enough to be flammable more than once though

Yes. That! And every edgefound baby with privileges would be starving.

Mental health day!

With the benefit of hindsight, if there was an evacuation order then any manager who forced the workers to remain under guard should absolutely be liable for their deaths, and the very company should be sued and prosecuted out of existence. Natural disaster in reference to the storm and its effects is accurate

Dark, but I see your point.

26 years? And only 78000? Where do you live and can you please get me a place like this.

I don't believe in laziness. I believe in inactiveness, which is usually a product of something the individual is not happy about.

poor folk incentives: 1) Recommend this job to a friend. If we hire them and they stay for 3 months YOU get $100! ... 2) employee appreciation gets you a paper bag full of candy and 1 fruit

oooh...like living on the edge huh?

That must be an American thing? We never gave out awards like that, that's ridiculious.

And I'm always baffled by all these Hollywood movies, praised by massive audience and making billions of juicy dollars, while most of them carry very specific anticapitalistic messages that should start revolutions right away at the exit of the movie theatre.

To be more precise it's the Calvinist/Pietist "live to work - not work to live".

*Shocked pikachu face*

Capitalism doesn't work, communism doesn't work, democracy doesn't work, socialism doesn't work... I think our "leaders" don't work.

Exactly.

why do you think they like to keep us fighting ? so we cant unite , if we're busy fighting each other we're not waking up and fighting them , the cause of ALL our problems

That's really crappy of the employer, I will settle for getting no bonus instead.
