      @@Beaver-be8vk I hope union workers get better pay or leave for better opportunities. If not, let robots replace them at these toxic companies that threaten layoffs and outsourcing. People are tired of jobs where leaders don't care. Let robots take over, and use Bill Gates' proposed robot tax to fund Universal Basic Income, so people can live without doing jobs they don't want. Companies don't care about us, and we no longer care about these roles. There are already 10 million working-age men not interested in rejoining the workforce, proving it's possible to live without a job. Let robots take all our jobs-we don't want them anymore. Stop trying to make us care by constantly reminding us we're replaceable. Guess what? You probably are, too. Just saying.
      Newsflash, consumers are watching how companies treat their own employees and are blacklisting them, cancelling subscriptions and orders. Consumers are remembering companies are *not* entitled to their money. They have to earn it, too. Turns out, treating your own people like shit isn't a good look.

    Folks tiring me with the back and forth. So we can all collectively agree that we are all living paycheck to paycheck, admitting $80,000-$100,000 still ain't enough money to live comfortably with a family because of prices being so high (if you dont believe that cool and im glad you are very rich and feeling no squeeze or have no sympathy or whatever that's not the point). What Was a livable wage is now no longer enough.
    You need almost $40 and hour just to afford an apartment by yourself. Food high, gas high, rent $3000 car note $500 a month DAYCARE 2000+ damn dollars a month per kid. So these folks are sick of the sicka and lobbying to get enough money to reach what we now agree is the new middle class --because they've raised the prices so much that now means above 100k a year. And yet all the comments persist about how they get paid enough and shouldn't get the raise increase over a period of years to keep up with the COL which we Agree is not settling back down any time soon.
    So we agree that life is too expensive, but we don't agree anyone should do anything to try and rectify that for themselves. Because if IM suffering then everyone ELSE should be suffering. If I don't have $50 an hour bc im not willing to do what it takes to get it, then they don't deserve it either even though they are responsible for bringing half the goods I use into the country every day. This why we don't have free healthcare. Tired.
