Ah yes. The obligatory racist whinging on Juneteenth. Fat lazy bastard who doesn't get to work before 11 am because he requires "executive time" (tv time).

Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

βThe workers donβt want itβ. He had about as much sense of this as he does of a concept of health care plan.
Workers. Hate. Paid. Holidays.
We've been saying it for years, but nobody listens. The liberal nanny state keeps forcing me to stay home, spend time with my family, or even go on vacation, when all I really want to do is stare at spreadsheets for another eight hours.
Enough is enough!
The workers don't want it. What workers actually want is an end to holidays, weekends, and time off in general. I mean, what good is being a "worker" if you're not working every waking minute of your life? /s
As a Dane, I have always been fucking shocked at the slave-like working conditions Americans work under. They barely get any time off as it is. What do you mean too many holidays?
The worst part is... If you've ever had the pleasure of working with an American company you'll notice just how unproductive they are.
Obviously the two are closely connected, but it's always fascinating to me
Yeah there's that myth that if you make people work more hours more work will be done. It all makes sense on the spreadsheet!
Reality is the workers are human, humans get tired and you aren't getting more work out of anyone by making them work more hours. You're just making someone be at a place longer because you can.
Its basic math. A woman needs 9 months for a pregnancy, surely two women would only need 4.5 months.
The spreadsheet confirms what you just said. Adding it to the corporate policy manual now.
So true. True efficiency can only be achieved when human labour is finite. Look at the small countries of norther europe. /my first comment on lemmee :D
The problem is that in Germany, our Chancellor is currently on the same trip saying that 'the people don't work enough' even though most people (who have a full time job) already work about 40 hours and many woman would like to work more but can't because there are not enough daycare centres and retirement homes.
My wife worked for Siemens-Gamesa for a long time, and German managers were always surprised how the Danes would just straight up decline meetings after 16 and leave early if they had to pick up kids.
They didn't worry about that at all, of course, because their wives generally didn't work full time.
That's what they get when you don't fight for your rights.
Look at it now, semi-fascist for half a year and they're still basically singing Kumbaya.
They get what they deserve.
And he seriously said this, what the actual fuck. It seemed so absurd that i had to look up, and yeah its there...
Go play golf and change your diaper grandpa, youβre getting crabby.
$BILLIONS
I mentally read this in the same voice I read $VARIABLE with.
Says the man that golf's more than work
He says on the holiday dedicated to the freeing of the slaves. Itβs no coincidence this the one he complains about.
Kind of telling to be complaining about this on a day which celebrates the end of slavery.
He's right. This year, everybody's gotta work Christmas.
The fucker is actively cratering the once biggest economy in the world
and his constituents cheer.
I hope every one of you 'genocide joe' objecters who stayed home feel crushing guilt as you watch the country collapse due to your misplaced ideologies
Look, on the one hand, I understand your sentiment. On the other hand, these are the voters you have, blaming them won't get them to the polls, "teaching them a lesson" won't get them to the polls. As hard as it may be to primary the Dems who are voting for Trump's picks, who are voting for genocide, who are even trying to pull Trump towards war right now, it is still easier than getting new voters if you're not into domestic genocide like Trump.
I understand you're frustrated with voters, but it's something that you can't change. Some people will not vote if the options are "one genocide or two genocides". You can change the politicians, try to get more people like AOC and Bernie and less people like Schumer though.
Then those people are just as culpable for fascism's rise and I will treat them as such.
rusty shitbox is ALWAYS better than radioactive rusty shitbox that is also on fire
