That would cost them more so it’s a non-starter. In manufacturing you’re not a human, you’re another tool. You don’t consider the wellbeing or happiness of your tools. :(

On top of the issue you mentioned, and along with another comment referring to machine operators, the capital class sees us as meat machines, not people. Especially machine operators, even in my own job some people refer to them as button pressers… I’m in a psudo-supervisor type position but I’m not viewed as any more than a meat machine either… We’re “undeserving” of any proper treatment because we “don’t create value” we’re just “necessary” like power is necessary.

I still fucking hate this bullshit metric designed to hide the actual issue, pay. Not everyone is married and even still, that would be 80k for at least two people.

I believe household income is all earners in a location. Track individual incomes! Why don’t you track individual incomes? (Insert duck chasing person meme here)

This is only for white collar work. Every time I see this there is never any consideration for blue collar work. Factories would benefit from seven day work weeks, more time producing not less.

Not that I want it at all… We tried to argue for just 4 days weeks in the summer when it gets to be 95° and like 75° dew point and they still said “absolutely not, we need to ship 5 days a week. We have guys doing overtime why would we do less?”

Factories suck…

Indeed lol we’re very good about being extra nice to our would be oppressors…

Knowing how absolutely fucking stupid our politicians are id imagine IF we win we’ll suddenly hear a whole bunch about needing to heal and show solidarity or some such bullshit that will just equate to “we aren’t going to do anything about Republican corruption.”

It’s on page 69420 huehuehue.

The answer is: she’s either a puppet being paid to help conservatives win power by taking potential Democratic voters, or she genuinely wants to help conservatives win power by taking potential Democratic voters. There’s no reality where she’s progressive or “left” of anything short of fascism.

When every goddamn election is down to like 13 people in some swing state then every vote matters. An exaggeration of course but not by much…

Mitch McFuckingDemonTurtle is against forcing this through now?

What universe is this!? I didn’t wake up in the good timeline, Trumpism still exists, but I’ll take one slightly good thing I guess!

And the Republicans will all run to their chosen propaganda outlets to cry about how it’s Democrats that are causing the shut down because they “refuse to secure our elections” and if course the typical person who doesn’t follow politics much will eat it up. :(

A-fucking-men.

They can say they’re voting green because the Democrats are too conservative for them, but if that’s their go-to excuse then I’d say it’s time to dump them now no? The party they support is just a lie to get conservatives in office.

Funny how she only pops up during presidential elections and doesn’t seem to give two shits about the green party during literally any other election.

Of course politics made it worse as well… Anything “environmentally friendly” is now viewed as “liberal” (the left, not the general “free market” type liberal) in America by “conservatives” and they’re brainwashed daily to not only hate anything the left says or wants, but they’re also made to believe that it’s “fake news”…

Some of these hateful chucklefucks actively “roll coal” by running their trucks extra rich, or making a toggle switch that will allow them to do it on the fly, so they can spew black smoke at cyclists and anyone driving a Prius or easily identifiable electric car…

I’ll never forget that scumbag who walked in with a snowball and said something like “how is there global warming if there is snow!?” Representative Inhoffe (Republican of course)…

You’re right, I was just referring to the device as a whole. The “experience” is generally meant to be grab and use as is no tweaking/new apps or whatever so the general phone/tablet user isn’t accustomed to fixing/adding/tweaking, just tap swipe tap swipe tap swipe.

As usual this isn’t something to be taken as an observation of reality, but an attempt to create a reality for conservatives to be afraid of…

It’s “the big bad left” all organized like an army ready to steamroll your beautiful conservative values! Of course it has no bearing in reality, but that’s not the point. The point as always with them is “be afraid of the left!!”

I’d have to imagine most of the people calling them “tech savvy” are just seeing them on phones/tablets which are mostly “dumbed down” hardware in comparison to what you can do with a PC. There isn’t much to know about operating a phone or tablet.

Magoos: He was just kidding!

Orange dipshit: I don’t joke about anything!

Magoos: that was a joke too, he’s just really deep you don’t get it.

It looks like Trump is almost certainly going to lose the election and when he does he’s going to jail. they’ll overturn the results and refuse to certify in important states that they already have control over.

Fixed a slight mistake. :(
