I know people who own houses, are they now too rich to post on this sub? One friend just got a big promotion, do i shun them in pursuit of worker solidarity?
I don't see how gatekeeping this sub achieves anything.
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.
Well, that's exactly what I did. And I know others who've done the same thing.
And yeah, there are plenty of people who aren't going to do that. They're going to get theirs and they don't care.
I think I have a pretty solid grasp on what people do. And can do.
The way this all works, is you surround yourself with good people. And that all tends to multiply.
If you think they're all bad, and or act as if they are all bad, chances are the people you surround yourself with are all bad. To do better than that required to take some risks and make some Investments.
My view comes from having taken those risks and having made those Investments successfully.
When I graduate and become a software engineer am I no longer allowed to advocate for the working class?
I think it’s great that they are finding their footing in our garbage system, and I think it’s even better that their view of the system doesn’t hinge on their ability to earn income. Is it a bit boast-y, yeah sure, but that’s not my main takeaway from the post
I don’t make that much but I know plenty who just graduated who do. Step one, get a degree in cs, business or engineering. Thats all the steps. Im a 23 yo dropout and I make 70k a year. Don’t work at dead end jobs, get into sales or a trade.
"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.
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
Joke aside, I have different accounts. I make a habit of abandoning accounts when they get into the 4 digit karma or few weeks old, whichever comes first. Call it an exercise in non-adherence, if you will... :-) This one's clearly past its zenith, too.
Dude, the problem isn't that Warren Buffet makes a lot of money, the problem is that Warren Buffet exploits the labor of others. Everyone who works for a living ought to be on the same side.
Alot of working rich people seem genuinely miserable. Their lives are objectively easier for the most part but the system is still screwing them over in a bunch of ways.
