I guess I can use this account then

Yeah fuck off im out of here.

The great thing about the platforms we have is that we do not need 2000 years to end this form of feudalism, we just need to get people to stop engaging in this shit and to politically mobilize

I want to guillotine every politican that chooses corpo profits over the health of their nation

Damn if only there was an easy solution, like making people not work themselves to death and actually have time for families

Something to consider would be to unionize your workplace, if everyone says this is dumb I’m not doing it and they have the extra legal protections of being in a union then these shit ass Bosses can’t do anything about it.

Don’t worry guys we can keep our health insurance if we like our health insurance

I’m ready for muskonet

Sadly link didn’t work for lemmy world at least from jerboa

Notice how many of the countries you describe have more than two political parties, universal healthcare, and aren’t the world’s superpower.

Violence largely happens due to stress, stress comes from poor living conditions, financial constraints and cultural issues(and more). Considering more than half of Americans are paycheck to paycheck, that we have to pay hundreds for medical care and that the average income is somewhere in the 40k range it’s pretty easy to see why so many people are mentally ill, violent and politically extreme.

On top of this you also have the hard to quantify issue of foreign powers attempting to influence, degrade, or propagand to the citizens of world’s main power which is another issue that adds an additional layer.

You need to understand the reasons for unreasonable actions to actually prevent them. Attack the source causes and not throw out a core part of the American identity because our shit ass politicians can’t be assed to think beyond the next election cycle.

Pretty much exactly what I’ve been thinking put into words. Thank you.

Good. Gun “control” is an ineffective bandaid solution for large societal problems that politicians refuse to tackle because it’ll hurt their doners pocket this quarter.

You can either see change slowly or you won’t see change at all

Why wish when you can start the process yourself?

Unless they’re just pissing away money on high level management I cannot imagine how all of these social media companies have been unprofitable.

Reddit has been like that for years, sometime around 2016 it started to get bad and has just slowly been moving to even worse

By all means an interesting idea but the issue is ups corporate is going to do a few things with this hypothetical. In the short term they get more money (which could A) go to the strike fund or B) is going to be hard for a enough people to matter to get together and give even if temporary)

Then corpos are going to see this increase in demand and see 2 things, something to propagand on and have an inflated number of “lost revenue”. It’s also possible they’ll see this as the public doesn’t care about the strike or workers rights

And even if you get refunded the money because they can’t deliver then you have to go through UPS “support” or through your cc company. Both are not guaranteed to work and you could just end up giving them money for nothing or for a extra slow package you didn’t need.

If you have the funds to do this then donate it to the strike fund you’ll be doing a lot better for price to action.

No, the best thing to do is listen to teamsters leadership and if they ask for a boycott stop using them until the deal goes through.

Always nice to see this constant wave of labor strikes, organizing and action

Nice to know that the posts per day are staying lower than they were. Fuck em
