Artist Creates Comics On Debate-Sparking Topics About Social And Economic Injustice And These Are 20 Of The Best Ones

I vote yes ✔️

One of the main reasons why Scandinavia is such a great place to live, is that our unions are very strong

especially w/ amazon!

I support the free market, which means that unions and the big companies are both fine. If the workers aren't getting paid their market value, then it makes sense for them to strike.

but not all jobs give 8 hours days.

True

Smart. It's why labor unions and striking work

The Amazon boxes. Nice! My sister said their logo looks like a penis and I can't unsee that now

No, it's still your problem. Or at least of your coworker. Companies are groups. If enough people start slacking/ breaking their promise, the group will suffer so much that it cannot recover. Too many people are suggesting that it is ok to break your promise, and think it wouldn't have negative consequences. Sure, you can extort your co-workers or suppliers/customers to gain a short term gain, but at some point someone will be facing the consequences. If you aren't happy with your job, go look somewhere else or develop an essential skills. A 10% raise isn't going to give you meaning.

This is sad but true

This is why we need collective bargaining. It's either that or we collectively decide to "burn down the castle gates"

too true

Me, right here.

Lol. Roof over you head, car with ABS, stereo, smartphone, etc. But sure, you live in poverty. I wish we had a time machine so people could see how life was in the 80'. We have it so damn good we should be ashamed.

Don't forget the same applies to electric cars, solar panels, and many other "eco friendly" products!

Notice how the miner bird is a minor bird.

Who the duck are you to judge that you are being underpaid? That is a narcissistic attitude if I ever saw one. Society decides what your work is worth, and it speaks through the market. You might not like it, but don't go pretending that you good divine knowledge.

We don't have to save the world, we only need to help those in our immediate, personal environment. Start small and every helpful action ripples out and trickles up. Every bit of kindness or help makes an enormous difference.

I don't get this.

What?

Too true.

What a joke. When we unionized, we got 50 cents more per hour and had to pay 75 cents an hour to the union. Don't believe that bullshit

Oof. This hits close to home.

And then you die....

😭 reality bites

:(

I know we can never properly strike like a lot of other industries and what I have suggested in the past is that nursing and junior doctors be given a higher tax free threshold most governments in the world do this for their military to incentivise joining the same should happen for nurses

Old here. In Nursing School it was made clear to us our job may end up to be life threatening. There's no turning it down because of that. During SARS l, our hospital had over 20 people inpatient with it at any given time. More than any one hospital in the world outside of China. The SARS Unit was hazmat suits. The only nurses who were exempt were those with a respiratory issue, like asthma because we wore PPE all shift everywhere. Not just SARS unit. We care deeply for our patients. On a bad day we'll go without a meal or a break, quick guzzle of water & its great if families bring junk finger food we can stuff down & keep going. Almost everyday. This is normal! If you're late out by even 45 min consistently, its your fault for poor organization. Admin & govt push &push. Why? They count on us being completely selfless & nice. Hate to say it, but we need to stop & stand up for ourselves. But if we do, we'll be called selfish whiners by Admin & govt. And WE better not call in sick either.

Nurses are both beneficiaries and victims of professional licensing. Overpaid (compared to less protected workers doing similar work) and at the same time vulnerable to less than ideal working conditions. Too bad health care is so overregulated.

In 1976, the US passed a law making student loans un-dischargable. You have to pay them back even if you go bankrupt. 1976 is also when the degree-mills popped up in the US where they sell you a bill of goods saying you are getting new careerbut you're actually just getting a huge debt and no job skills. Mallinckrodt declared bankruptcy in the US to avoid having to pay for their role in the opiod crisis. Meanwhile the woman who has to file bankruptcy because she lost everything trying to pay for her son's rehab still has to pay that $200K student loan back. She got that debt at a 2 year nursing program that turned out to not be certified so she couldn't even take the test to get a job.

An apt metaphor for a single handout and the means to be able to take care of one's self and the potential ability to pass it on.

learning to fish is easy, cheap, and not time consuming, unlike many wishful professions.

Wouldn't make for an interesting comic, but d*mn if it wouldn't make for a better world.

But then Bruce said to himself, "Nah, I'd rather tear around town all night to find someone to punch in the mouth, maybe shatter a femur."

I wonder if Branson, Bezos and Musk will ever take the hint? I doubt it :(

a trillion is going a bit far..

Not a funny sketch, but closer to the truth than the others. Public housing is risky as it introduces corruption, and public schools tend not to care for the interests of the students as one would like.
