fuck me that's bad

Yeah their postmaster was ancient apparently

Like 70 or something

Some ridiculous age where people shouldn't be working anymore

I think a lot of small town post offices end up like that

Though the pay isn't too bad

eh, a lot of stagnation if you get one of those jobs

pay is good for when you're young, then you stay and become comfortable

And the people who took a risk will pass you by mostly

Seen it many times in government organizations, i've worked for some

hi

other people's money?

the whole system of property exists because of the state protecting property rights

which allow the capitalist to steal the labour of the worker and to give back only a fraction of it, in the form of the wages

the one who uses other people's money is the capitalist

^

The capitalist does it with your permission, the state does it by the threat of a gun

And if you make it easier for a worker to start his own business you give him the chance to be his own boss

Business grants are great tbh, even though financial management classes are just better

the capitalist does not do it with your permission, you are coerced by the economic system

How so?

you're not able to live a good life without working for a company, you have no ability to meaningfully negotiate wages

coerced because it is simply better

you're always at fear of being fired, etc. etc.

You do if you have the skills

@Deleted User That's not true at all

Unemployment is at 4,5%, job creation is hitting new highs, wage growth is boosting

Who would fire a good employee?

You're always in risk of losing them to another company if anything

unemployment % does not count people who have dropped out of the workforce

It does

no it does not

There is payroll employment change in either way, so your argument is null

that's literally how unemployment % is calculated and has always been

that also does not include underemployment, wage growth not actually growing (it hasn't for the last, what? 40-50 years?)

@Deleted User There is the U-6 which counts anyone who is unemployed, those seeking and not seeking job.

It is at 8%, which is fairly low for the broad scope of the measure

wages have not grown with either inflation or with productivity

because the ability to negotiate wages lies solely in the hands of the employer

as an individual worker, you have no actual power
