Gotta wonder about people like Acolyte. Do they just enjoy repeatedly being screwed over by the powerful? Do they think that one day, if they are good little acolytes they will join the ranks of their rich overlords?

“All this doom and gloom is of ZERO concern to any educated/employed person.”

Well, bless them for trying, but after reading “Deep Adaptation” all I can say  is: Too little, too  late.

Watch the movie “Who Killed the Electric Car” and “The Corporation”. Both succinctly and clearly delineate why capitalism is going to end human civilization.

Doesn’t matter what your getting paid if money is no longer accepted as a means of distribution.  Consider investing in freeze dried foods.

If anything it Shady Jenkins was underselling it.  Consider the fact that civilization may collapse within the next 10 to 30 years.

Right? I honestly don’t understand people who think that self-interested billionaire and trillion dollar companies are going to treat them better than an organization specifically created to advocate for workers’ rights?  What kind of twisted rationalizations do you have to pretzel yourself into to justify ignoring…

It’s pretty clear that you are losing this argument.  Maybe go be selfish and advocate for the genocide of people who don’t agree with you somewhere else?

HA!  You’re advocating for people to starve and I’m the bully?  That is some wicked cognitive dissonance.

Nah. You’ll lose.

Uhg!  I’m in the same boat.  Healthcare is going to make us all paupers.

I am honestly, truly, and sincerely sorry you are on one of those horrible health care plans. I never thought things could get this bad. Last year my wife was in the hospital for diverticulitis. Our insurance billed us for $30,000 because we didn’t get pre-approval to go to the ER, have the tests and have her stay…

Yeah, the cognitive dissonance is amazing to me.  The only reason the rich remain in power is because they have succeeded in convincing a large part of the population that that they are “job creators” which is just fucking laughable.

Big fan of stomping puppies, too?  Wow people are jerks.  Thanks for being a salient example of the worst of humanity.

$15/hour is below the poverty line these days. It is not a living wage. And if you have to deal with the fuckery that Amazon puts its workers through, it is tantamount to slave labor.

No.  It’s society’s.  Or are you unaware of the student loan crisis?  Sorry not every one has a mommy or daddy to pay for college for them.

Well, in my case you’re failing miserably.

Never understood the mentality of siding with a giant, rich corporation whose executive gets paid obscene amounts of money over people just trying to put food on their table.

Consider me counted among your number!

Unlike you, I will be supporting the strike. Working conditions at Amazon are pretty horrible from what has been reported. And for all those who glibly say “if you don’t like it, get another job” keep in mind that the government is pulling the wool over your eyes in regards to the unemployment rate. Even the U7…
