People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

People used to be able to do all that solo working as a janitor.

Not to punch down, but that is a sign to:

  • unionize
  • do something else (this will limit supply of labor, helping to increase wages)

Sorry that it sucks.

Did you just suggest this guy should become unemployed to increase the wages? 😭 Also unemployment decreases wages, labor is perpetually a buyer's market

No. He should find another job that pays enough he can eat daily.

I imagine that if they had better options available rn they'd do it, the job market ain't looking too good. Anyway not looking to argue, just thought it was a funny thing to say

I'm literally going to have to cut back on eating for the next couple weeks because I haven't gotten many hours recently. On the flip side I've been meaning to lose weight so it looks like that was my chance
