givesomefucks , to Work Reform in Pharmacy staff from Walgreens, CVS say they’re at a breaking point — here’s what their days look like

The employees, all of whom requested anonymity for fear of retaliation, described ending their shifts exhausted after spending hours juggling dozens of tasks around the pharmacy without enough extra hands to support them.

Isn’t it weird that companies say they can’t hire anyone, but people also can’t find any jobs that are hiring?

Almost like CEOs want to hire the absolute minimum amount of people they need to and are just pretending to have openings they’ll never really try to fill.

We’d have people miss whole weeks of school due to farming duties…

Especially earlier than that, school always took a second seat. If there was work to be done, the kids weren’t in school

I grew up on a farm. We started before it was daylight, didn’t matter what time was on the clock.

Why would the time on a clock matter to a self-employed farmer?

The people at the top like that, because they have the disposable income to dress better than the office drones.

It’s really not worth the hassle tho…

Like, back when we had oil lamps and even when we first had electricity…

Sure, why not do it?

But now benefits are negligible, and the downsides like skyrocketing rates of early morning heart attacks are very real.

There’s just no good reason to do it, and lots of reasons not to

It really needs included that it’s a self description…

He views it as a positive

At work we got a tracking update once:

Truck caught fire, package unrecoverable

Like, it’s bound to happen eventually, but fucking nuts it did.

givesomefucks , to Politics in "No one can stand him at this point": House GOP plots to expel Matt Gaetz amid McCarthy catfight

It’s safe to assume they meant “smart” as in sarcastic.

Conservatives love using it that way as an insult:

Oh, so now you want to be smart, boy?

I highly doubt their issue with Gaetz is his IQ, it’s that he won’t sit down and shut up when told.

givesomefucks , to Politics in Biden: Trump is determined 'to destroy American democracy'

Yeah…

We have large turnovers constantly. Our system is inherently unstable, even if one side actually tried to build as hard as the other side destroys, we’d just end up constantly building and destroying on a cycle. We’ve been destroying more than we build since the 90s when neoliberals convinced voters if they tried half as hard, they’d maintain power and slowly make progress.

But that hasn’t made us stable, we’ve just been taking two steps back and one forward. A slow march to dystopia

givesomefucks , to Work Reform in CEO pay has skyrocketed 1,460% since 1978

He laughted said that hamburgers would cost $20.

They always say this, but when you mention the Nordic countries where wages are at least twice ours and fast food is pretty much the same cost, they start ranting about how any country that properly uses socialism doesn’t count.

And they almost always end up saying something racist

givesomefucks , to homelab in Need help picking SSDs for a new server with Proxmox

Honestly, servers are about the only use for HDDs these days.

It’s better to have huge files on a HDD than small ones on an SSD. So get a SSD for operating system and programs. Then a large HDD for media.

You don’t need anything fancy, and you don’t need to deal with multiple drives.

givesomefucks , (edited ) to Politics in Take another look at Joe Biden. His is the presidency progressives have been waiting for.

Yes, Biden lied to you. He’s not perfect. He’s not a saint. I’m not defending anyone’s lies. I’m asking you to acknowledge reality

The reality is moderates lie and Biden isn’t great…

So why were you arguing with people for saying what you’re now admitting?

There is zero logical consistency in anything you’re saying.

The only constant is you defending Biden.

Its literally what trump voters do…

givesomefucks , to Politics in Take another look at Joe Biden. His is the presidency progressives have been waiting for.

Someone is lying to you

Yeah, the moderates running the party… They lied to all of us.

No idea how you forgot about that, it was only a few years ago.

It doesn’t stop Republicans from obstructing the way they have been for over two decades, and it doesn’t force the Republican-led House to pass bills that progressives want.

Damn bro, you forgot Biden saying they were only like that with Obama and once Biden became president all his old republican friends would magically do a 180?

He called Mitch McConnell “an old friend” last week, have you forgotten that too?

givesomefucks , to Politics in Take another look at Joe Biden. His is the presidency progressives have been waiting for.

If I’m wrong and I don’t know how it works, what about the people running the party who made those promises?

Or are you saying I don’t know how it works, because I should have known they were lying to voters? I missed that moderate argument, is it coming back?

givesomefucks , to Politics in Take another look at Joe Biden. His is the presidency progressives have been waiting for.

Most of those things Biden said he could do…

And every one of them is what the DNC said we could accomplish with Biden and 50 D senators during the Georgia runoffs…

If say voters don’t have the memory of goldfish, but moderates routinely prove me wrong…

That, or they have the same morals about lying as republicans. Hell, probably both just going off the last 30 years of American neoliberalism
