  • My dude, that’s exactly what I’m talking about. That’s me in fact.

    Even if I had a contract it wouldn’t matter as I live in a right to work state, they can fire me at any point without warning or cause.

    Having any real employment contract is NOT the norm here.

    Non office jobs are more likely to be unionized and this have a contract than office jobs.

    That’s the type of thing non W2 self employed contractors or union members might have to lean back on, not rank and file full time office employees.










  • I would say isreal has a right to defend itself, but not if they keep stealing land and oppressing the people who attack them.

    If you want to defend yourself, first, you have to stop attacking the people who you claim to be defending against.

    Hamnas is human garbage, but one can not separate the creation of Israel from the ghettoizing of the Palestinian people.

    Nobody deserves terrorist attacks, but this didn’t come out of the blue.

    Isreal needs to own up to it’s complicity in the violence before they try to claim to be the sole victims of it.

    Look, the reality is that disease did kill the majority of natives.

    The genocide after that is not made any less horrible by that reality, but it was made POSSIBLE because of it.

    If European settlers had to deal with the full original population, things would have been VERY different.


  • It was always useless dopamine exploiting garbage.

    It served to pump up peoples egos, feed narcissists & mostly not do anything of any real value. It was always a place that would drag random individuals through the virtual streets as some sort of cathartic virtue signaling stoning event for ‘wrong thinking’ or ‘wrong speaking’.

    What Musk has done to it has obviously made it worse, but it was never a net gain for society to have something like Twitter.

    It was always a very problematic entity, outside of anyone’s political leanings or whatnot.




  • IDK let’s see.

    Other countries finally starting to pull out of the rubble of ww2.

    The massive influx of the baby boomers into the workforce devaluing labor. Couple this with boomer women demanding jobs instead of being house wives, further adding to supply of available labor.

    Come 1980 we add in trickle down economics which encourages the hoarding of wealth.

    Then there’s computerization, automation and globalization that have been rapidly bringing up per capital productivity. Weirdly this devalues labor, because you need fewer people.

    That’s just off the top of my head.

    Unions are important and can be a force for good, but the data doesn’t fully support the claim.

    Simple solutions to complex problems are usually being sold as a way to manipulate people… Don’t buy in to simple solutions.
