Well, if it's any consolation, Ellen finally has the face she deserves.

Reality can be brutal these days

The pandemic turned the word "hero" into a four-letter word. It's the height of arrogance that policymakers thought all the peasants needed to be kept quiet and to keep working is a pat on the head and being called a "hero". Condescending much??

As a retail worker who's worked through the pandemic and for 7 years prior to that(8 years in total), I completely relate to that. No one in power gives a s**t about us. And the people that do give a s**t can't do much to help.

As we say in my office: Expendable, not essential...

I struggle with this. Should I go through the drive thru so the workers have work and don't become unemployed, or am I part of the problem ?

Since when is "fast food" essential? Yes, many times the prices are what poor people can only afford rather than "real" food. Let's help them with real food. But my brother - in - law works for a pizza chain and mostly it was just a bunch of lazy people who don't want to cook or give the smallest of tips either. And don't tell me these conglomerates don't have enough money to see them through.

she isn't a hero and she isn't a sacrifice to some "elites". She is a person doing a job that needs doing and collecting a paycheck. Could have had the alternative and had her career discontinued by government mandate

Wow! That's awesome

Brilliant. Boris is a twat.

The president America should have had. At least he gives a s**t.

There are advantages and disadvantages both to socialized healthcare and to simple free market healthcare (though between the two, socialized healthcare wins). The neat thing about the private insurance system is that it combines the flaws of both, which is great if you really hate healthcare.

I bet you that desperate mom will pulverize all 4 simultaneously.

Heck! The whole healthcare system in the US

This is exactly what is going on!

Yes, lenders should be FORCED to factor in the savings in rentals that would result when calculating affordability. It is ridiculous that the monies that will become available when rentals cease are not factored in to the calculation.

My son works 2 jobs, in a store and on a garbage truck. We live in a small town and STILL had to gift him a small house that we own just so he can live on his own. He couldn't do it otherwise.

Truth.

I once had a man from a firm tell me to come do an interview for a job he knew I was not qualified for and I had told him as much. I had to cycle about an hour to get there - no public transport, no car. He told me ' the cycle trip would do me good'. I cycled for an hour, got soaking wet and got told I was not qualified as soon as the interview started. I had to go as refusing could cost me my unemplyment benefit, which I couldn't afford. The power these people think they can wield over the unemployed. Psychopathic is the word I would use for these kind of people.

Everything is by design by the rich.

My dad is a longshoreman and I can confirm this

In the UK it is going to Tory party donors, MP's friends etc

When I was 10 years old I received a birthday present from an aunt of 1 share of McDonalds Corporation (~$12). To this day, the transaction fee for selling that 1 share would cost more than the share is worth, so I just enjoy my quarterly dividend check for $1.19.

I hope you steal from work everyday.

Everyone should agree that this should be illegal. Nothing about this system works.

It's time to end this horrible trend of making life harder for those whose life is hard enough already. Those are human beings people!

That's what astounds me about Americans who don't / won't / haven't travelled to see how good life is in other parts of the world. They cling to ideas that are not true like children told fairytales they believe as real. It's bizarre. And sad for them.

Really people! Do you actually need a new iPhone every 5 minutes? Apple and their upper echelon just get richer and richer because you fall for it. Learn to spend money on needs not wants. Do it now. Because if you keep doing this you may need to learn to do that the hard way. Your not the one accumulating all the money here. They are.

With all those fires burning down the trees along with over-lumbering and deforestation, I think this is the the beginning of the hottest summers we will experience :(

Barnet council in the UK outsourced most of their functions/services to a private company. It has been nothing but a disaster. That's what happens when profit is the main driver.

I work more hours, am calmer and significantly more productive since work from home started (March 2020) and has been going on since and is an obvious improvement. Yet the company now (at start of Delta variant, looking fwd to Lambda variant) makes me go to the office at least two days, where I will work 8 hrs (and not a minute more, trust me), will be worried about people coughing on me, will spend two hours in traffic....I can go on

I'd send them a whole bottle and ask for $1500 off the bill.

I told my alumni telemarketing that unless they contribute to my student loans, they can fūck off. Never called me back

imagine charging for electrons stolen you'd have to take the halogens to supreme court

Jesus.

There's a lot of problems that the price of an aircraft carrier would solve. But those Americans just love shooting and blowing things up instead.

If you're bit by a rattlesnake, you'll survive because that antivenom is still being made - and you'll be paying for it for the rest of your life.

In other news, water is wet.

Kinda seems like we should get our machetes and have a revolution doesn't it?

Villains in movies: "Oh, I'm being punished for my crimes!!!" Villains in real life: "Now let's see what subsidies the government is spreading around today for me."

Fines that are not based on wealth or income are just a nominal fee to rich people.

He can start, lead by example

Marketing 101.

People are missing the point on both sides there. As with so many things, the bad guy isn't who you think it is. I was a small landlord at the start of the pandemic. Had 4 rent houses. They were in decent condition because I had them built new. The rent was more than I really felt comfortable charging. But I really couldn't charge less as the cost of insurance on the property immediately ate more than 50%. I even paid all utilities, and that was merely a fraction of the amount to have the property insured - which was required by the financing I took to build the houses. I eventually had to sell the rent houses (I did, at a loss) or let the bank seize them. If you find an industry people are complaining about - healthcare, rental property, cattle farming - I will just about guarantee the place all the money is actually going is an insurance company or bank.
