And this is exactly why Republicans yell about people abusing the system.
That was condescending. They likely phrased it that way because they thought the other poster didn't know. Not that they just found out. You were rude.
This has some "written in blood" vibes. We have absolutely killed people by working them too hard.
We had street cars. We had trains transport people. We had real mass transit. It was all killed by the auto lobbyists.
I'm in. Freaking do it. We need to have some strikes.
No, I know it's not mutually inclusive. I just think that profit is going somewhere. It's not just hanging out in the ether. Maybe it's not execs, sure. Maybe it's someone else. But someone is absolutely taking the money that every day employees should be getting.
I have a very hard time believing that.
Look, I know it's idealist, but corporate profits are at an all time high. C-level execs make hundreds to thousands times what their lowest level employee does. It's disgusting. The greed and their assumption that we will just let them continually be more greedy is disgusting. Maybe they don't need all that. They can actually pay their employees better. They choose not to because we have barely any social nets in this country, what does exist can be really hard to get, and people have to eat and have a home. They prey on desperate people, hide behind the idea that minimum wage is "supposed to be for teenagers, and refuse to entertain the notion that they are the problem.
Then how about don't engage and move on?
Very telling that it doesn't include heterosexuality but specifically mentions homosexuality. Freaking homophobes.
My six year old asked me if dvd's were used when I was a kid in the 50's. I'm 32. 3,000 years for VHS tracks.
I don't think you really have to go very far back. Since I was old enough to remember, I heard basically every adult say that they voted for the lesser of two evils. Maybe it wasn't as overt then, but it was definitely the mind set.
