A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Say I'm a farmer - I work my nipple hairs off for 14 hours a day to put food on my table, and let's say I enjoy it since it's honest work. Why in ALL hell would I start handing my crops out to lazy assholes who'd rather just sit on ass all day and stare at the sky doing nothing?

You see similar in any major city these days - you'll have itty bitty restaurants and takeouts have giant "help wanted" signs and you'll have borderline a crowd of lazy assholes loitering outside asking for free food instead of getting that damn job.

A) you almost certainly aren't a farmer working 14 hours a day.

B) you wouldn't be giving away your crops out to anybody as social programs would be funded with taxes. Like we do with public schools and fire departments and public works, etc.

What an annoying comment.

Try paying rent on that "damn job" and you'll know why no one is taking it.

I mean what so you want? You'd be the most popular person around.

You like pies? How about a hot pie whenever you want it.
