I receive majority of your day
You receive a minute fraction of my profits (which by the way does not increase even if the profits sky rocket)
I don't even receive that
and they have the gall to suggest that if we don't accomplish enough outside of work then it's a matter of time management. There's only so much time management I can do when a giant lump of my time is gone.
The secret to reclaiming your life is the the 8 hours that've been stored away and you're that you'rw missing out on.

At the bare minimum, if a job does not pay enough to for one to stay alive, then one is in a desperate situation. One must treat this as a "hair on fire" emergency. That time at work is wasted and you deserve better.
#Because there used to be subreddits focused on being a jerk. When it was time to be "real", then fake HTML tags were used to mark it.
I love that this goofy-looking kid is now the (other) heartthrob from The Bear.

This post was probably posted by an a US or Europe person doing more than 2k usd a month.
and?
where is the difference between earning $300 and needing $285 to stay alive, and earning $2000 and needing $1900 to stay alive?
So, 300-285 =15
2000-1900 = 100
Δ = 85
So 85% difference... altough I get you don't meant that, but still, people from those places don't realize the huge amount of stuff they get from granted, I'm a socialist anyways, but you need to be educated on where you stand on the world, I'm neither saying I'm personally dying of hunger or whatever, but the reality of the average person in a rich country, is heaps higher than whatever, is annoying for me to no end to see people complaining about having so much in reality, clean running water, sewage, a police than when you call it, it shows up, chances at an education, etc... people literally die of diharrea because unsanitary conditions, you should cherish being born in one of those countries, and still strive for the better, but do not forget how far you have come, eaning 2k/month for working 40h/week is such a sweet deal for the majority of people on earth, don't act like it isn't, because, in part, the only reason those countries can have so much wealth, is because for all that other people life isn't as nice, in a way, those rich countries have outsourced crappy jobs elsewhere, and that's not necessarily bad, those countries, my country, deserve to develop, but you at least must be aware of all of it.
Sorry for the word salad, it just annoys me to no end how all these first worlders don't realize how good they have it in life.
it's still only keeping 5% of your pay, still a minor emergancy away from having to ration food or skip meals. poverty is just as depressing everywhere, sure some could have it worse, but you telling them how great their situation is actually isn't going to help. so let's stop trying to hold misery olympics
if 2000 stretches as far in one place as 300 does in another, then 100 in the first place stretches as far as 15 does in the second. it's 5% either way.
and this comparison only makes sense if the jobs are equal, so while your paragraph is accurate it's not really in scope.
When your rent is almost a thousand, then it dries up fast.
Only $1000? Most basic falling apart apartments are almost $2k in many states from what I've seen
If you live in a fly over state like me it’s on average like 700
And afterwards the government is shocked when workers disappear in the shadow economy.

It would be a lot easier to swallow if we were a part of some grand endeavor of building society and stuff for the common good. But if you try yo do that, even on your own time, they will send men with guns paid with money they stole out of your paycheck (which would maybe be tolerable if they also did, like, environmental protection or work safety or food safety or social safety nets or whatever, but it's all just men with guns taking ypur neighbors in pre-dawn raids and shooting at your friends and threatening to murder you now).
So fuck it. Take what you're owed; you owe these fuckers nothing.
And if you want to make a society, remember upull have to find out whe4e these murderous thugs live, always outside your community, and vote for them. Vote for theor families. Don't be shy about voting for bystanders if you vote for them where they live; anyone who makes a place nice for these invaders to live deserves your vote too.
Hundreds of cowards upvoting this who aren’t willing to even consider rioting
Pot meet , kettle, what the fuck are you doing here buddy? You should be out Rioting
Yeah we don’t tolerate this servile shit in my country. Your defensive deflection is surely the way to get the job done, though. 👍
Oh, OK so you’re just another country making fun of Americans, carry-on, you’re doing such a great job
I’m sorry I hurt your feelings. I guess you can rename French fries or whatever you guys do when everyone notices your professed principles are bullshit and you’re feeling insecure.
Good to see you practising what you preach.
You guys really will do anything but what’s necessary, eh?
Too real
