Anyone making 60k better start being careful about accepting their rich get richer raises because 70k is the cut off for when guillotine cut offs start. If you know what I mean. drat dude think about how bougie cashiers are compared workers in afghanistan, better kill them too

Although nothing is quite like the annual meetings where everybody wrangles over who takes their vacation when. My wife just did this for her lab people, who now get eight weeks of mandatory paid vacation. If you heard the people complaining that they can’t get overtime in Department A while taking paid vacation in Department B, you’d think she’d crucified their dog.

Szyznyk posted:Our fundamental financial weakness is clearly DoorDash. $58 for Jason’s Deli. Door Dash is certainly a symptom or the issue. Companies have absolutely identified they can force whatever kind of market they want if they throw enough VC money at it long enough while they wait for people to pay for it and accept it Like no one asked for a loving grubhub and now its a major food service middleman that drives restaurant prices up even if you arent using them

Is it just "give me convenience or give me death" or are consumers so uneducated they can easily be hoodwinked into spending so much cash on 'disruptive' ideas like food delivery and taxis? And I guess really those can only exist because the state of the economy forces people into bad gig jobs in the first place.

What do you mean "bad gig jobs"? It's making so much money! In fact all jobs should be gig jobs

It says Home Owners = Investors, Students = Protesters =, Migrants = Killers on the border. Or whatever... No one watches the news and sees or thinks ME. Its all Other. You're fine, its these other people loving poo poo up. "Workers will be hit by a 100% decrease in rear end" Never considered myself a worker so Im fine.

My car is 12 years old and each state inspection fills me with dread. I guess that modest vacation to a beach within driving distance can wait another year...

It's nice having about 500 bux a month to spend on frivolous poo poo that does not make me happy or improve my constant feeling of dread about this being the rest of my life. Real nice, let me tell ya.

But surely we're not some special class who recognizes that this occurs, so why is it we can recognize it and presumedly try to not succumb to this kind of thinking while so many 'others' can't or won't? Unless it's actually the case that everyone recognizes this but due to the very nature of othering, assumes nobody else does?
