European here: WTF?
Then you should remember the rise of fascism pretty clearly. That is “what the fuck”
Just a quick question: do people above the age of 17 not get guaranteed meal breaks?
No. Or any other kind of break. Also benefits are determined by part time vs full time, which itself is generally determined be working either less than 40 hours a week, or 40+. In other words part time is generally 39.99999 hours a week.
No. Or any other kind of break.
I thought there was a federal requirement for shifts over a certain length to get a break of a certain minimum length? It's not much, it's not remotely good, but I'm pretty sure it exists.
You wouldn't believe labour rights here in Germany. And yet, the work gets done.
Yeah, but your social safety nets are strong, and rich people and companies are highly taxed in order to fund those social safety nets. That makes any random worker far more motivated to go and do their job than if they were getting absolutely ass-fucked in 1 trillion different ways every hour of every day, like they are in the United States — purely in the name of prophet –, all while the propaganda tries to convince them and everyone else that’s because they are “weak“.
I suddenly have no difficulty understanding why the red October revolutionist didn’t try to “rehabilitate” the imperials, and just murdered the fucking a lot of them.
Nope, rich people and companies do not pay German social security. It's all funded by compulsory insurance for everyone except the rich.
I worked for a German company briefly. The pay was great and they literally wouldn't let me do overtime. Best job I've ever had.
I've got a Mexican coworker. She was terrified when she returned after her first sickday, fearing a profound scoulding by our consultant. She did get one - when she turned up sick a couple of weeks later :)
Please send help
No. You elected this shit on your own. Play stupid games - win stupid prizes.
WE didn't elect them.
The south elected them, out of the same vile hate they've nurtured for 160 years.
When I was young they kept to their shit holes, but they've since leaked out and spread everywhere, and now the country is in ruins.
Of course you did!
That's debatable considering rump has twice now stated on camera that the election was rigged in his favor.
That said, enjoy your popcorn while you can. This train is coming off the rails and may very well effect you personally in time.
Got clips? I'm assuming one is the bit about Elon being "good" with vote counting computers and that's how they won Pennsylvania in a landslide, but I'm not familiar with the other time he he stated on camera that the election was rigged in his favor.
Conservative agenda:
Put young males to work until they're old enough to enlist.
Get young girls married and popping out babies as young as possible.
Don't think they aren't eyeing up little 13 year olds.
Deport workers and fill their positions with literal children. That’s an insane proposition that will only hurt the vulnerable and favour those willing to use them…
That would be a great point if not for the "rabble rabble DEI! rabble rabble Bootstraps!"
Stupid lib!
What?
I think what they were getting at was that you made a good point, but unfortunately those in power use devicive rhetoric in order to keep us mad at each other instead of mad at them.
Ohhh that's a bingo!
Serious question: Is this satire?
No, Ms Huckabee sanders already did this in '23 in ar- Kansas
