    Thanks for comparing notes.

    It kind of blows my mind. I mean, take the rights people died for and then pull up the ladder behind and ask why no one wants to visit in retirement. Like, we don’t even get time off to vote in general election, we’re so busy hustling for half of a living wage and free sneers from management. Very yikes.

    A strike in time saves nine, fancy. Lives, probably too.

    Old contract new contract. When boomers sold the union so no one else wpuld get living wage, and they could keep their lifestyle.

    I was lucky to have a supervisor when I started in 2006 who was open and honest, explaining why our holiday pay and schedules were so different (old contract new contract)… Still complicated, but no more raises or benefits.

    He was making over 20/hr. I started at about 8 usd… 10 years later i worked another brief stint at the chain. Same starting wage. Probably didn’t go up until covid pressure.

    Gen X got screwed out at the end of long union busting campeigns, and the rest of the shit rolled downhill.



  • That’s the spirit.

    Tbh, I learned they shut up faster lately.

    Some boomer tried to shame me for using public transit, which employed him. Shut up when I pointed out I’d never been paid a living wage my entire life, which made maintaining a car hard whether you knew how to change the oil or not.

    Had a nice conversation about local geology after that. Fancy that.

    Learning more and more that maga folks expect to be cuffed once to know respect, and twice for love, then once a year after that for measure. Something about sense of consequence. But also I’m recomending mace+ to all minorities(more backlash from some some biggotkuks.).

    Anyway, again, basic bullyback, right? Learning late. Might pick up artofwar for seasoning. (sabo manual is already on the rounds, right?)
