The poors are the ones who need to be at a 9-5 job all the time.

As a poor, I understand.

What I don't understand is when the government does it.

I have to take a whole day off because I'm obligated to go talk to some person behind a counter, who will tell me that I need form 87324, but won't be able to tell me what that form is, where to get it, or why I need it, then drive around from government office to government office trying to get the form, only to figure out another person at the first office has it, and when I finally get the stupid form, it needs some meaningless mandatory field filled out by my employer, who thinks I'm sick today.

I guess I'll cured until the day after tomorrow.

Easy. Every day you spend working, or working on working, or working on government-mandated stuff, you don't spend reflecting on your life. You won't start to question what you're doing, you won't organize, you won't revolt. Especially you muricans with nearly no day-offs.

I know your comment is probably more broadly focused than just me (the commenter you're replying to), but....

Fun fact, I'm not American.

Oh sorry. It sounded like you were 😊

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

No need to apologize. I'm used to it.

The government? Oh that's easy. They just don't care.

This is by design! Republicans love reducing hours of government offices and introducing new partworkd and requirements to make it harder for The Poors to meet whatever new arbitrary requirements they've added to access a given program or be able to vote
