most people in trades are conservative, and mostly white people, with a side of hispanic groups. people wonder why more arnt going into the trades, likely they arnt hiring people outside of that political demographic.

It’s because when women and black people meet all the criteria and are begrudgingly allowed in that’s when the haze out circus begins. In my union in a dark blue state Union officers were putting nooses and writing kkk on a group of black men’s thinks to the point they had to file a police report. And the state didn’t do a damn thing. courthousenews.com/mitsubishi-accused-of-ignoring…

I’ve been a scientific monitor for construction projects and they will tolerate you, but you will mostly be excluded. I of course as bearded man from the South had an easier time than some of the younger women that were my coworkers.
Honestly the drama on a construction site is peak. These grown men are so petty and cliquey

Yeah, I’m a straight married bearded husky white guy who has taken up carpentry as a hobby, and I have no interest in being part of that industry. I have a relative who is a trumper plumber and the culture fits him perfectly, lol.

Haha, its usually more than that. Especially if you do manual labor and don’t have a union. Friend of mine was receiving 6% of the value of his labor after we calculated it.
MrVilliam@sh.itjust.works 16 hours ago
I wish I made 6% of the value of my labor. My power plant has $1M+ days sometimes and there’s only 30 of us running it. I make good money, but not $30k/day good. A couple months ago when we saw sustained deep freeze temperatures for like a week straight, we saw $5M+ days.
We also work crazy hours for those situations. Last week I pulled 72, and the next couple weeks will be 84 hours. But at least they ordered pizza for us.
TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 hours ago
When they make that much money, why don’t they hire another 30 or 60 people so everyone can have a normal 32h work week? Are the employee benefits really that good that it’s worth it? I hope they are much more than just pizza. Why would you let yourself be exploited by them, on such an insane level that you are willing to work almost triple work weeks? They are stealing your life while having the financial luxury to just hire more. Have you talked to your union? Work to live, don’t live to work mate.

My company had a year where they earned $500M after tax, which was equivalent to an earning of $3.5M per employee, and I got a bonus of $6000 which was the standard bonus for all employees weighted compared to their annual salary.
That summer we had our yearly summer party in a tent on our parking lot…

That’s exactly it. Sure taxes take 40%, but capitalists take 100-1000% of your salary, and last I checked they don’t build roads and schools.
sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 6 hours ago
Okay so I was gonna respond sooner but I was super baked and unable to answer this when I saw it last night.
You should read Wage Labour and Capital by Marx for some added context, it is short.
Basically the value of a commodity is calculate by c + v + s. c being constant capital (the value of the means of production that has been degraded to create the commodity, hard to calculate without good info), v is the amount of paid labor, and s being surplus value is the unpaid labor.
To calculate the value of your labor all you need to know is the constant capital used to produce whatever commodity you produce and the value of said commodity. By including your wage as v you can calculate the surplus value and then compare them to see what share of the value you produce you actually recieve.

Where I live construction is one of the things that’s heavily unionized. Well, local workers are. Foreign workers not so much
Maroon@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
Sorry for my ignorance, but how do you calculate the “value” of one’s labour? Like how would you do this for a school teacher?
Different schools have different pay grades, different subjects, etc.
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 hours ago
The owner of the construction company is being paid for the work that their employees do. All of that money, after expenses, does not go to the people who did the actual construction.
Proles_Uprising_Now@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
If a private school makes 100 million a year in profit and pays you, the only employee 6 million that would be 6 percent of your value. I think.

GalacticSushi@piefed.blahaj.zone 9 hours ago
Not just bombs. They need to send Israel cash so Israel can fund AIPAC so AIPAC can bribe politicians into sending even more money to Israel so Israel can fund AIPAC even more so AIPAC can bribe politicians into sending even more money to Israel so…

Trump paid for showing me (located with an european IP address and an european account) a facebook video ad boasting about how now overtime is tax exempt. It was awesome: it was an ai-generated pixar style ai slop about some men coming back after some work in oil field or coal mine and hugging their kids, opening the letter with a huge “pussy hair” signature saying that now overtime pay is not taxed.
bridgeburner@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
Wait you pay that much in taxes in the US? I thought the silver lining of living in the US means lower taxes compared to countries with social security systems and universal healthcare.
Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 59 minutes ago
No see when people produce things they need to get taxed a lot so we can pay for the things they need like prisons, cops, anti homeless architecture, and the military.
But when people collect stock dividends or realize gains they only need to get taxed a little to cover the contracts they get to provide squalid food to public schools, fill textbooks with revisionist history, and prevent humanities education.
And of course the true patriots who get loans against the majority stake shares that they manipulate to steal the retirements of prolls and bribe politicians are welcomed to write those incurred debts off.

Lower taxes (1-5%) is if you make more than 750,000 per hour or daily or weekly.
EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 1 hour ago
Multiple layers of tax:
-
federal income tax
-
FICA
-
state income tax
-
sales tax
-
property tax
According to Tax Foundation, looks like it’s actually about 30%: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_Freedom_Day
GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.world 58 minutes ago
Yep. and thank god we don’t get any services or infrastructure repair from that ~30% /s

chiliedogg@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
No - they just pretend taxes are lower to justify not using the tax money responsibly to provide social services.
Between federal income tax, social security, and medicaid my taxes come out to about 40% off the top. Then I have to pay state sales tax, local taxes, and in many states people also have to pay state sales tax.
lovely_reader@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
That’s the line they feed us, for sure. But if you ever actually added up federal income tax, state income tax, state and local sales tax, Social Security tax, property tax and assorted taxes for any instance in which you might come into additional money (capital gains, interest, prize winnings, inheritance, etc. etc. etc.) most Americans would probably be shocked to learn what real percentage of our income we actually pay to the government.
Katana314@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
This is a very good reminder to me. The rich pay comparatively little on things like gas taxes, retail tax, etc.
TheHighRoad@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
That’s the best part: We don’t know! There are so many taxes and fees and BS spread over so many things that it is very difficult to calculate the total percentage accurately. 40% seems high, but it’s probably not far off when you add everything up.
