So true. I think part of it is how much industries here changed over the last few decades. We went from lots of physical labor, to about 50/50 physical and desk jobs, to 95% or more service type desk jobs. More people than ever before are cubicle monkeys.
For example, the place I'm at designed, produces and ships it's own goods, and is highly technical. Despite in house manufacturing, our bread and butter, the majority of people are in cubes, and their numbers continue to grow, while manufacturing stays the same. I always see the same pattern, a new hire comes along, and is a good weight, little to no fat. A year later, they're fat. Another year rolls on by, and they are now very fat. Rinse and repeat.
Don't forget needless debt! Those types always have tons of debt, gotta finance those new cars and other stuff they don't need, then complain about all those evil lenders! They always bitch about debt, while making zero effort to pay it down, while pissing away money on useless crap or unessacery outings.
I'd love to agree, but there are more compliant little sheep than not. Besides, employers have always got their beloved H1B visa replacements ready to go.
I do agree with the not complying part though, I'll refuse all those experimental mRNAs no matter the cost.
Besides the economic impacts, she is missing something. Everytime minimum wage goes up in the retail world, people will get layed off, and those that remain will get their hours reduced. Her son may just be out of a job soon, or have his hours cut so much that he won't actually be making more money than before.
Exactly. At my work, they absolutely will 100% walk your ass out the door if you refuse to wear a mask, zero fucks given. They would fire anyone in any position for violating the rules, and there isn't enough people to change that(lmaybe 3 out of 200). Here in Commiefornia, businesses will get huge fines if people aren't masked up, and it will be even worse if it's discovered that people tested positive on top of non-noncompliance. Because of this, all stores and business will comply, no matter what, and none will fight it in court.
As for getting hassled, that part I don't give a shit about.
It takes years and lots of money to fight this shit in courts. In CA, we have cases that have been in legal limbo for over 10 years. Just getting these things to the Supreme Court is a nightmare, and actually winning is even harder. By the time it gets there, if it gets there, the dems have 20 more bills doing the same things, only worded slightly differently, ready to go, amd each one requires a seperate legal challenge.
Their property taxes are what caused me to scratch Texas off my list when I was deciding what state to start home shopping in. That, and they have so many counties with their own unique laws, I got tired of trying to figure what is legal where, and how it all ties in with state laws. Still a Great state, but there is room for improvement, haha!
It's political theater, to help the MSM maintain their "violent extremist Trump supporters" narrative. The FBI makes false claims of credible evidence of attacks, the NG gets called in, and they set up their little fences and shut down DC. It's quite the show!
Same, this place is getting a bit tiresome. I don't get all the hopium. Trump has said "peaceful transition" in many of his recent speeches. Then we have photos of the Whitehouse being cleared out. Not sure how much more convincing people need. I guess many here will be sorely disappointed come the 20th. Sure, I will be too, but not because I believe there's some master plan in the works, but rather because Trump will be out.
One of her butts. Bonus butt!
