People Are Throwing Punches At Late-Stage Capitalism, And Here Are 50 Of The Best Posts

Louder for the governments with their fingers in their ears

This should be higher.

I can certainly see the logic in that hypothesis.

Lack of support from school administrators doesn’t help either. It’s one of the reasons my husband quit teaching.

No sane society would allow billionaires to exist. Ours seems determined to pretend that they’re aspirational role models.

So many companies this can apply to... so many...

Better idea. TELL her there’s a show, pretend to film it, don’t bother, film her at the end when she’s nothing to show for a year in work.

If such show would not pay them royalties and would be something they could not decline - sure.

The only Kardashian show I would actually watch.

How are these people still influencing us?

I would absolutely watch this!

*Turns on Netflix*

Nope, as a custodian for the local school.

The only one I would watch.

lol!

Real work? I thought she had people for that.

It would never last for 2 reasons. Kim wouldn't be able to survive a single day in a low payed job where she couldn't do as she pleased and go shopping for thousands of dollars for one thing. The other thing is that most people watching her now will only do so because they dream of living her lavish lifestyle. A dose of reality would send them running for the hills.

Dutch TV had something vaguely along these lines, where a celebrity had to live a week off social security only. So they'd be horribly! stuck!! in their mansions, unable to drive their porche once the tank was empty... Yeah that doesn't really reflect the situation of people on the dole in social housing. "We can't afford food after day three! We only have these wines we laid away for the upcoming party, and a prize-winning Iberico ham and tapas!!".

To ensure she is treated fairly she must wear ugly prostheses to disfigure her appearance and an uncomfortable fat suit to remove any possibility of "pretty" privilege making her life bearable.

The only work she knows is on her back

What a great idea!

Two centuries of relentless “work ethic” propaganda.

It is competing for last place.

I for one really don't want to have to work at that age. So please don't misunderstand this as a plea to get retirement age people back into jobs. Just pay a livable pension.

This is brilliant! Hurt the company but not the many people that depend on the service

This is the way

she can't afford a car even tho she works 6 days a week.. great! what about public transportation? probably not available in her region..

Maybe cut down on a yacht or two...

My Dad died from cancer in August just gone. My work told me to go & be with him in his last few days before he passed. Then gave me a week after he had gone to grieve. I didn't expect it, but they paid me my full wage.

I need my work to do this for me

Nobody wants to be abused anymore

They take more and more of the collective wealth every year. Tax them before they take everything ffs, or change the system.

Behold, the least frustrated essential worker

100%!!!!

PROMOTION! I'M READY! PROMOTION!

That's the whole point of working, for a salary. You are delusional if you think people work for sh*ts and giggles.

I need context here. To the googles! Ahhh! So they were growing the potatoes for FOOD and this variety of potato is licenced by Pepsi. So it's similar to the Round Up Ready suit back around 20 years ago in the USA.

I would watch the hell out of this. (Come on Netflix!)

The bubbles? at the top say "I DO". Also, yeah screw Pepsi.

Good to know.

the US need more unions!!

Isn't that illegal?

That’s fair!

the law serves the rich, obviously.

Just take a look at France. Seriously, they'll be happy to share their methods.

He's not wrong.

This!

Yes! 🏆

They’re the M*sks of their own planet, though.

My project management office went without a manager for almost a year - no issues. So our higher-ups decided to get rid of the office and move us to other units. My current supervisor told me to just stop working on projects, as our leadership clearly didn’t believe that the project managers were important. I am the only one left from the original office, everyone else has quit. Projects are not moving forward, we are out of legislative compliance, and my supervisor told leadership I was too busy with my new assignments to work on any projects. My supervisor told me it serves them right for being so shortsighted and not appreciating their employees. I love my supervisor!!

I mean, you can also save $8000 just by dying instead of going to the doctor. Simple, right?

The American Dream is dead and buried. Welcome to the American Nightmare!

And some people don’t believe you should be able to afford that on minimum wage. “Get a better job” they say, while forgetting the fact that humans actually need to run the important gas stations and grocery stores and restaurants and they deserve to be able to pay their bills (and more) while serving the rest of us!

We of the autistic community have an almost altruistic devotion to being honest. It is simply easier and more logical, to our way of thinking.

There are lot of contributing factors, but a lot of it is misuse of funds/power. California had a state teachers union walkout a few years ago because a raise was not even budgeted for teachers, but the people determining where the money went all got fat raises. The education system is so corrupt.

But you still find people insisting that raising the minimum wage in the US will raise fast food burger prices. Maybe we need to stop prioritizing huge faceless corporations’ record profits year-over-year and start prioritizing the lives and happiness of the humans that work to make that corporation possible. What’s the point of having a job if you can’t survive off it?

Don't make sense. /s

Pretty much sums up every financial argument I’ve had with my dad for the last 20ish years.

This country needs more unions. Period.

Bold of you to assume I can afford a new light bulb.

I remember this it was absolutely amazing!
