This kid is going to be one of those “not my job” kind of people.
I think he should be in charge of everything
Meh, it’s not really a profound view. It’s a naive understanding of freedom as the ability to do whatever you want and bear no consequences. But you’re born into a world that contains others so that isn’t possible.
This true universal freedom would be closer to godhood really.
I’m glad that I can continue to count on this subreddit for hard news, in-depth analyses, and substantive discussion of the state of our global economy.
The top 3 best selling cars in America consistently since 2017 are:
1.Ford F-series
2.RAM pickup
3.GMC Silverado
Those are only the top 3, from a long list of large and overpriced cars that follow. Currently, 80% of all personal vehicles sold are trucks and SUVs while only 20% are cars/sedans. The number of people who constantly tell me that a truck/SUV is a necessity for everyone is wild. Especially when considering only 50% of vehicles sold were trucks and SUVs just 10 years ago. Its amazing how quickly something goes from a nice-to-have to an absolute necessity. The most affordable car in the US is the Nissan Versa, which at $16K brand new, does not even make it to the top 30 best selling cars in the country.
For comparison, the best selling car in Switzerland, a country with similar median income, is the Toyota Yaris. The best selling car in Germany is the VW Golf and in France is the equally compact Peugeot 208.
Want to be free from that oppressive job that you hate? Not being a Joe sixpack driving a $70K+ vehicle and holding a $1000 mobile device are good first steps. Might want to also cut down on the Doordash while you are at it.
It’s true that the majority of North America is brainwashed. In believing that capitalism and the Almighty, dollar is the only way to live. That guns are good, that debt is good.
It’s not that people don’t want to work, it’s about being able to do jobs primarily for positive incentives, rather than the threat of destitution.
As someone who is about to be laid off from a place I have been at for 9 years, I have to agree with this kid.
The system we have built is for the rich to manage us, not to benefit us.
I will be losing hundreds of hours in sick and pto, because I wanted to be an “exemplary” employee who always showed up and only took off when I acrually needed to.
I never said no to a new task or work. I was never rude or combative.bI fulfilled executice-level requests same-day.
None of it matters.
They’ll still drop you like a number from a spreadsheet.
It turns out if you want a society with things, you have to build some of them.
