Semi-Hemi-Demigod , to Work Reform in What the hell is this shit? Instead of pushing for the return to traditional pensions, capitalism is celebrating the idea that Millennials and Gen Z may simply never be able to stop working.

This increasing preference for a lifelong income

These crazy kids with their preferences for avocado toast and Tik Tok and never being able to stop working!

I think the main problem is that anyone with enough money to buy a new car is so old they can't get in and out of something sporty.

All the new houses going up around me look like that. Except for the ones that take up almost the entire lot so they can cram a 4,000sq ft house on a quarter acre.

Everything today is starting to suck because they're all min/maxing. Cars are all egg shaped SUVs or boxy trucks. Movies are all reboots, sequels, prequels, or live-action remakes. TV shows are epic fantasies or raunchy animated comedies or dark supernatural dramas. Because that's what all the metrics say will provide the best ROI.

I wish this Gilded Age were half as original as the last one.

My great-great-grandpappy was at Pardee Field at Gettysburg and whooped a whole bunch of slavers flying that flag. So if I start using it for target practice it's not hate, it's heritage.

Uncle Billy should have turned westward when he reached the sea and not stopped until he got to Mexico

Reaganesque

Which is interesting considering how many Westerns he starred in.

The notion of the Texas law man roving around dispensing justice isn't anti-authoritarian, it means they want to be the only authority. Real anti-authoritarians would eliminate hierarchies and restrictions.

I'd never buy one from GM or Chrysler, that's for sure

I hate that most strikes and boycotts are against things I would never buy in the first place.

Semi-Hemi-Demigod , to Work Reform in Strikes aren’t bad for the US economy. They’re the best thing that could happen
@Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social avatar

Now take that to the extreme and make it a worker-owned company, where everyone has a vested interest in the company succeeding and control over company decisions.

They've increased costs without covering wages so that would be a refreshing change.

Seems to me that if we have an economy based on consumer spending, giving consumers more money to spend would be a good thing.

Second: Workers aren’t grasping the managerial challenges of leading a remote workforce.

I can grasp it pretty well: Shitty managers can't tell if someone's working without watching them, so they're panicking. Managers who can measure their teams output more accurately than asses-in-chairs aren't having a problem.

As the experts have maintained for years, a flexible hybrid schedule is almost always the proper approach.

The proper approach to have people sitting in an office on a Zoom call, maybe. I've never seen hybrid be as effective as either fully remote or fully on premises.
