Highest paid in the country cause they have a union. And they have an extra vacation day now. But "unions don't work"

Reddit is a bunch of people asking each other to rate them now, including their clothes and wedding dresses. I don't understand the appeal of any of those subs, especially when we already know some of them were specifically created by 4chan to try to get people to kill themselves 😬

I used to subject myself to those rating subs on 4chan for some dumbass reason when I was younger, do not recommend. Sucks to see people fall into the same cycle.

My dad used to work in manufacturing. He had a pension. He got yearly raises. He was able to switch positions to make more money and they paid for his training to be able to do that. Hell my grandma used to work at FUCKING KMART with full benefits including a pension!

Now people are paid fuckall, get fuckall for retirement, get maybe a 2% raise every few years, and companies want to invest $0 into keeping and training them. No shit no one is loyal and no one wants to deal with that shit. Go back to what you were doing before if that's how you want employees to act again.

For some reason my comment keeps showing up as a reply to this comment instead of a reply to the entire thread so let's just go with that lol

Why is this downvoted? Biden can't do whatever he wants with no checks and balances, he's not a dictator.

But unfortunately the supreme court does get to do whatever they want, even ruling on fake cases now.

New, Conservative Push To Weaken Child Labor Protections Is Gaining Steam ( talkingpointsmemo.com )

A movement to weaken American child labor protections at the state level began in 2022. By June 2023, Arkansas, Iowa, New Jersey and New Hampshire had enacted this kind of legislation, and lawmakers in at least another eight states had introduced similar measures.

New Hampshire is becoming full of Trump worshippers unfortunately, outside of the heavily populated areas

You can't just charge people out of nowhere when they didn't sign a contract and blatantly did not consent via their announcements their apps were dead

They didn't even have a business, they just made it up for the lawsuit. Check out any of their "work" and you will be laughing

Unlike previous attempts at trying reddit alternatives (like Voat), kbin and much of the lemmyverse doesn’t seem to be plagued with extreme far right buffoonery. ( kbin.social )

It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit....
