and still expect $20 a hour
You won’t even get me to show up for 20/hr in 2023. If an employee can make that shit pay work for them the business owner should be doing backflips to keep them happy.
My house is filled with my friends ‘bad’ art because i love her and it makes me happy when i look at it

This is not accurate. While there are laws protecting shareholders from malfeasance like deliberately reducing share value, it is not meant to mean (nor have there ever been cases brought) by shareholders for companies not doing enough to drive shares.

News@lemmy.world•California workers will get five sick days instead of three under law signed by Gov. Newsom
145·2 years agoToo many folks are still having to choose between skipping a day’s pay and taking care of themselves or their family members when they get sick,” Newsom said in a statement announcing his action.
Cool but let’s not forget what he did earlier this week. He vetoed a bill that would have allowed striking workers unemployment benefits. All he had to do was sign it
And please don’t @me with ‘perfect being the enemy of good’ kinda responses, it was a true slam dunk for workers and unions (unlike this pittance) and he blocked it..

I think its probably the fact that there is a type of person you’re used to arguing with that makes your type so angry when you decide to visit.
To protect your ego, you have unconsciously going into and starting arguments with people you consider inferior. Perhaps with this habit over time you made the common mistake of conflating your choice of hanging around ignorance as evidence that you are smarter than your average person.
Am i close? Should i keep going?
Your average comment is snark, yes? Do you go into deep conversations online? Do you know history beyond what you learned in school? Do you daily seek out knowledge?
If the answer to these questions is yes, no, no, no as i suspect (don’t answer me, answer them to yourself online arguments are stupid and useless) then do better, ok? The world needs people to try. They don’t need more of the you you just displayed.
