nothing wrong with a wharehouse job

i said im from detroit area earlier, which brings on point of unions

its like a issue i can't easily side with, because we did a great job showing how terribly backwards unions could be

some sort of power struggle which was never managed imo

unions have a place but they have gone too far, and if i wanted to be progressive in the proper sense it would be worth pointing out when that happened

the stories of 'lol i was getting payed 60k+ a year and me and a guy alternated job because it only required one person (as in clocked in but didn't work)" sorta thing, i can't express how many boomers i know with those stories, on retirement now

...

1 in 3 people in the UK my generation won't ever own their own house

regardless what i find funny about california is it claims in many respects to be the most liberal place (in US), yet allows its highest earning companies to flat out refuse any sort of union

is literally the breeding ground for amazon's transgressions

whenever someone speaks of Unions getting corrupt, i'm reminded of this clip 😛

Boomers claiming they worked hard... Every story should be replied with "Okay in relation to who though?"

"You worked hard, compared to what?"

compared to us lazy millenials ofc 😉

unions have a place but they require their own restrictions, as do large corps, its something that i think could be defined but probably won't ever be in my lifettime

i sometimes get the feeling if i had a better ability to research various academic papers there is probably good commentary on it, but i don't even know where to start on that

Baby boomers don't account for changes in the market

We make less and pay more

@Dr.Wol lol

yeah hmm, i wont put the blame on boomers too much, they cant possible imagine how it is to grow up in the current year. its hard to put yourself in their shoes as well
they grew up in a time where work was harder (times, effort wise), but the reason for work where also better, i think they where more motivated, not distracted as much. (also they got payed more for that kind of work, i think)
they seem hella ignorant on some stuff, times are different now. where i live, housing prizes have risen so much, that means that people that owned houses just got richer, and the ones that didnt got poorer

ya need to buy american made

Boomers didn't have the internet to distract them, they got bored during the day so became productive 😉

millenials just post facebook quotes, and meme

wol is right

buy american economy will get better

Japan has a lot of issues, but i will tell a quick story about Automotive business and Japans ability to make money vs America (circa 1990s): My father was once in a board meeting about profits over the Ford Escort (ZX-2 iirc), Ford was losing something like 500 a car on it, meanwhile the Mazda it was based directly off of was making 1200 dollars a car, my father commented 'we have a 40% share in mazda, if i wanted to support ford shouldn't i buy the mazda, thats 300ish dollars (40%x1200) + not losing the 500, basically making us 800+ dollars :DDDD'

But people just want buy cheaper stuff made in non- American countries

then dont whine about shti getting more expensive due to inflation

Nidhogg is right <:TimThink:482277772497125378> saving money on outsourced labor, increases cost

you are saving money

and also sending money away from the us

Why are we pretending social media is the only thing that's happened.

devaluating the us dollar

its weird... americans want higher minimum wage, but also want open borders to let in low skilled workers,
and then complain about getting fired cuz some immigrant wants to do their job for less 😂 👌

thats extreme version of 'liberalism'

Its the rich children that want open borders due to closer racism and guilt

its the poor who complain

huh

rich people dont live near poor people to care

they dont know migrants
