(1) Minimum wage is punishment for __insert reason here__ Or where I’m from: (1)(a) “those kind of jobs are actually designed as ‘entry into the workforce jobs’, that’s why minimum wage needs to be low, so they have incentive to move onto better paying ones” Exactly how they should do this usually involves some variation of “they need to earn it by working hard”, as it does But the solo mum working multiple minimum wage jobs isn’t ‘working hard’ ofc, her reason for being poor is (1) tl;dr - I can’t decide who to guillotine first, CEOs or their lower/middle class apologists

is pepsi ok posted:https://twitter.com/bopinion/status/1033416767249571842 So how much of this is due to Internet efficiencies, automation, etc? I mean labor laws, min wages tied to something other than the good graces of politicians, etc, suck balls but the article didn’t mention it. The last 10 years a lot has changed (but not labor laws).

Hey Mr. Suicidal guy: Grab a gun and walk up to warren buffet and shoot him in the head. Maybe it's illegal and you'll go to jail, but you're suicidal so you can just off yourself instead of getting arrested. I don't know about everyone else but I'll personally be grateful for your sacrifice. Think of how much better the world could be. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Actually, I'm getting professional help since a few of my friends here asked me to, including a couple mods. Therapy twice a week before work, although I refuse to take medication as the side effects include suicidal tendencies, which is counter-intuitive to say the least. Also I can't take them and drink, and drinking is my favorite sport.

The funny thing is one of the mods who messaged me threatened to ban me. Like... were they afraid of ghost-postin'?The Ghost of Screaming Idiot posted:im permadead poster Screaming Idiot i first started reading SA when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of “politics” and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like “realpolitik” and “our culture is rotting and we are maggots writhing within its desiccated husk” in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on ectoplasmic stabilizers to maintain my semicorporeal form. i always wondered what the kind of “ironic” style of SA humor was all about; i think it’s D&D leaking in to GBS, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who worry too much about politics to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a prematurely ending your living existence and becoming a restless spirit for all eternity. rest in peace. Still, I'm gonna try to keep it together. And even if I was gonna kill myself, I wouldn't take anyone with me -- as much as I love the idea of the guillotine, I don't have it in me to take a human life. Except mine, if I don't try to keep it together. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Scientists Warn the UN of Capitalism's Imminent Demisequote:Capitalism as we know it is over. So suggests a new report commissioned by a group of scientists appointed by the UN Secretary-General. The main reason? We’re transitioning rapidly to a radically different global economy, due to our increasingly unsustainable exploitation of the planet’s environmental resources.

Therapy twice a week before work, although I refuse to take medication as the side effects include suicidal tendencies, which is counter-intuitive to say the least. Congrats on gettin' treatment buddy  I assume you got prescribed some kind of SSRI, I highly recommend at least giving them a shot. When you first get started you'll have a week or so of feeling crappy and kinda bleh but you get over it and loving hell they make so much difference, holy poo poo. The "suicidal tendencies" thing is kinda bullshit btw, they put it on there because a few people (entirely teens iirc) who already had them, surprise, still had them after taking the drugs, and they wanted to have their legal bases covered. Like it's not magic happy pills that make you feel nothing but happy all the time, you can still *get* sad, but they provide enough mental fortitude to like, break yourself out of the loving mental death spiral of getting sadder and sadder or fixating more and more on depressive thoughts. Also the "can't drink" thing isn't entirely accurate, I'm on them and can still drink smaller amounts sometimes, but it seems to multiply the booze so I get drunker faster. It's probably also killing my liver and lowering the "deadly level" threshold so ymmv, prolly want to avoid drinking at least until you're established on them I guess.

There's definitely lots of SSRI's to choose from though and a bunch that are cheap as gently caress generics these days, so maybe explain the situation to your doc and ask about a different one or read up on what's available on your price-controlled prescriptions list or somethin'. Good luck friend

Good luck friend Do depression drugs (ie the ones that probably could use it the most, or maybe like insulin) not have those ‘you’ll never pay more than $25/mo after insurance’ deals from the drug manufacturer? I’ve been on several GI drugs that had those. My doctor gave the cards to me, but they were also available online from the drug maker.

hockey jockey posted:And yet he is still a thousand times more admirable than Alan Sugar... It's always worth pointing out that if it weren't for Nokia and Pace being hosed over by the aftermath of the dotcom crash Sugar would be completely penniless. He drove Amstrad into the ground chasing useless bullshit like the Em@iler (all you need to know about it is told by that @ in the middle of the name) and Sky had to step in and buy him out because they faced the prospect of losing all three of their STB manufacturers just at the time they were trying to ramp up HD. Of course the only reason Amstrad even made it as far as the dotcom crash is the bullshit he pulled on the Premiership rights deals. Sky managed to put in a bid for the first Premiership TV deal that just beat ITV, something that had nothing at all to do with Sugar being both the main seller of STBs to Sky and also the chairman of Spurs and hence having knowledge of all three bids. What I'm saying is that Alan Sugar hasn't managed to make a business decision that was both profitable and not complete luck or fraudulent since he started making cheap HiFis in the 80s - that he's still held up as some titan of industry is probably a bit more on-the-nose than people realise.
