but can you get one with popup headlights?

shit the 5 dollar bottles of water are one of the reasons I just pirate movies. that and movies suck anymore, anyways.

i honestly don’t know about rationing going on. Seems like people have more pressing matters to deal with, so stores can get away with trying to sell $100 cases water. I’m sure some jerk with a giant truck filled with 55gallon barrels is trying to hoard all of the fuel for himself somewhere though.

time is money and now is a time so capitalism

i was more taken aback by the 100 dollar case of bottled water. That’s some heartless shit right there. I also imagine a lot of the fuel being bought is used for generators (but i’m not there so I don’t really know)

i sacrificed my best lamb for the people of Houston

proof the free market works!

use federal monies to buy everyone boats

everyone takes their shit way too seriously.

glad i watched that guy get punched in the face a bunch and didn’t pay for it. fuck him.

Truth. Morals and capitalism are always at odds.

this is exactly why I am having this conversation with you right now :) nothing to do but my ass has to be in this chair for 8 hours or else! Even though yesterday managers scheduled a meeting that kept me here for an hour an half over my shift... Seems a bit rigged to me. oh well

Well, i think we agree on a lot but where I disagree is that I think *everyone* deserves a decent wage for honest work. I live in America though, so plenty of my friends/family have to work multiple jobs just to eat. I also don’t think a mechanic should charge for 65 hours for 40 hours worth of labor. And actually…

you are the winner

the police are not there for you unless you own a bank.

If we are counting on politicians, democrats or republicans, to do anything to fix this then we are so fucked.

*also I literally am a software engineer and if you think I get any say in how long projects are going to take then lulz - but that is a conversation about salary just being another word for “being expected to work unpaid overtime” which is mildly related but still fairly off topic.

The original post gave a documented example of the exact same repair (2016 vs 2017 caddie) and the hours expected for the repair were cut from 4.3 hours to 1.7 hours. Fancy rich folk will always find a way to fuck over the people that work for them. I don’t have any political associations but I really just feel like…

Car salesmen... can’t wait until I can just buy a car on the internet and avoid shady people trying to sell me crap I don’t want for more than it’s worth so they can get a nice commission. I’d rather get rid of the salesmen and pay the mechanics a fair wage.

you sure sound like a hardcore capitalist to me. If someone can’t do the repair job in the amount of time the bean-counters said they have to then they suck and don’t deserve to get paid for their hours worked? you based that whole rant off of anecdotal evidence from “when you were a kid” that doesn’t even seem to…
