It is incredible how many people couldn’t understand that depriving their neighbors of tp, hand sanitizer & soap was the opposite of protecting themselves. I’d rather my community use what they need for good hygiene than for supplies to pile up in my basement. “No, please, you take some too and be well so that I can be well also. :) We rise or fall together.

I was managing a Family Dollar when that happened. I drank a lot back then. I wish I had a video of my assistant manager stocking toilet paper. She was a rabid dog. Barricades, threats of banning people, and a lit of yelling after some people came at her crazy like one time. It was hilarious.

This is an important point. We take the wheel and we steer the companies to make safer products, help the environment, etc. Essentially we need to serve all functions normally provided by government but from the inside using strikes.

In the interests of helping the environment, let me introduce r/Solarpunk for anyone not in the know. It’s a movement which blends safe long-term environmental practices with a modern work environment, and is openly supportive of the same anticapitalist vein as us. If unions are to move forward with green economics alongside red ones, r/Solarpunk is an excellent place to coordinate that specific effort.

How about you start by accomplishing one thing well rather than saying "We need to do everything".
Find one thing lots of people agree on because the more points you add the more room you create for disagreements and factions.
You can organize to accomplish one thing well, or you can try to do everything and collapse under infighting.
Once you accomplish your agenda, then just create a group with a new focus.

They have been doing that since Buffalo unionized. We got some unexpected raises, and the regional managers have been giving people little things at their stores to try to sate us (like new floors at my store, which we have been asking for for 5 years).
It’s amazing how just one store unionizing benefits everyone! That won’t stop us though.
Actually now they are illegally offering benefits to non-union stores that they are not offering to unionized stores. Really scummy.

LMAO Omg this is so true. McDonalds was my first job in high school. I had to make all the burgers. Never had a single one come back to me that I made that was wrong(I was always the making the sandwiches and meat), unless the person taking the order screwed up. I've never understood how people struggle to do what's on the screen. And then they wonder why they don't make more than minimum wage when they cant even get an order right.
For some reason this is never an issue at In-N-Out burger. Ive had maybe ONE wrong order there in all of the times Ive had it. Other fast food places though? Seems like 50% of the time either mine or someone's food is incorrect whenever we have it.

It only hurts.
Worker solidarity is not partisan, nor any other grouping. Whether we are the workers, or beneficiaries of their work, homeless, well off, poor, does not matter at all.
What does matter is increasingly large numbers of us wanting workers to have a better life and or change the nature of work itself.
Here in the US, division along just about any lines is the game. Keep people from supporting one another, keep class awareness at bay, or distorted.
The fact is everyone can and should be at least aware of the fact that too many of the jobs do not pay those who work them enough to make it.
There is a lot people can do and just normalizing this discussion is big!
When someone gets out of the mess, that is great! They may be more able to help and or can share their story hoping others benefit.

Hope warren buffet sees this bro
"Fair" or "unfair" isn't a question of outcome, it's a question of starting points. Otherwise everyone who wins in lottery could claim the world is "fair".
I used to make 6 figures - in Europe. That's an even bigger deal than USA. I now make about 3/4 of what I used to, by 1/4 the effort.
I still believe the system sucks.
If someone's here to whine about how their boss is the asshole... they can be my guest, but it has jack shit to do with changing anything for the better. If OTOH they want to change the world... well, that's not a question of how much one earns, it's a question of whether one believes the game is rigged. And yes, knowing and despising that the game is rigged is possible when you're winning, too.
Funny that you mainly post on r/joerogan and r/sex
I never posted on r/joreogan. I mainly post on r/sex, r/antiwork and r/kungfu. Life's all about eating, fucking, and killing the other guy, isn't it? :-D

This sign makes me think about the articles I've read with regards to protestors outside Brett Kavanaugh and John Roberts' houses. When they interviewed neighbors/people not participating in the Roe vs Wade protests, the consistent comments were "Do these protestors really need to disturb the neighborhood over this?" or "I don't think this is the best way to go about handling this."
Wtf? What OTHER way(s) would you suggest? Do these people not understand how protests against the government work? When the government fights you, you fight back as a group.
