@Neverfadingwood just a heads-up, one of the Is in the image description got turned into a | (vertical bar character) 😅
@hazelnot Thank you.
Benaresh@Neverfadingwood Anarchy is order.

@Neverfadingwood Also, “better” almost always means more evil. Want lots of money? Unless you have an extraordinary talent in sports or the performing arts, that means working for a predatory financial, tech, fossil fuel, or for-profit health”care” corporation. Want to do caring or restorative work? Good luck finding a studio apartment you can afford.
Steve Maclellan@Neverfadingwood To work at a job that doesn't pay your rent, and your gas, to the foodbank,, is akin to slavery.
@stevem Isn't it though?
@Neverfadingwood Not much wonder there's a labour shortage. Who wants to work for starvation wages?
ferricoxide@[email protected] @Neverfadingwood Slavery, you're generally asset enough that your owners pay (bare minimum) to house you and keep you healthy enough to work, though.
@Neverfadingwood @ferricoxide LOL, maybe it's worse than slavery then! 😄

@Neverfadingwood @LevZadov Very true and very sad. I ran across a Reddit forum for Tim Hortons. The idea was to register a complaint... but then I realized this was a forum for employees.
They were discussing how they buy in bulk to get cheaper prices for groceries, and then share with other employees who do the same thing, buying different bulk groceries.
Some mention came up about using the food bank too. 😥
Andreas K@stevem @Neverfadingwood Well, someone has to do the jobs (or equivalent ones) slaves did in earlier centuries.
And never forget, Europe did have local slaves too, we just usually called them differently, indentured, Leibeigene (“owned bodies”) and so on.
For centuries, in many countries, peasants were bound to the estate they were born on. “Peasant wars” is nothing else but a nicer word for “slave revolt”.
@yacc143 @Neverfadingwood @andre I was reading 'The Capitalist Manifesto' by Louis O. Kelso, who likens the masters and slaves to the bourgeoisie and proletariat.

Corb_The_Lesser@Neverfadingwood It's always the people who decide how much you're paid who tell you it's your own fault you aren't paid enough.
MrShoggoth@Neverfadingwood - I love this thinking. “Everybody should get a college degree” means our trash will have to be taken out by people with college degrees or we’re all gonna drown in our own shit.
Rust Buckett@Neverfadingwood When do we start Universal Basic Income? Probably right after we implement Universal Health Care. lol
WATERB~1.EXE@Neverfadingwood the kind of people who say this generally don't feel obligated to make logical arguments
Space@Neverfadingwood What you are saying is that you won’t pay any more than you absolutely must
because that would be wasting money and you can’t afford that.
If you think someone should be paid more then pay them more. Don’t push the moral obligation onto someone else.
