Nit. We seriously need to divorce benefits from employment. Especially healthcare. I still hear people say the company pays $X for my healthcare. No fuck they do not. You have a total compensation package that includes the cash part of your salary as well as how much of what could have been your cash part was diverted to pay for healthcare. Have you ever been handed a piece of paper where they itemize your pay? You get $40k and then there’s another line where it says $10k for healthcare etc so they really pay you $50k? Well on the one hand that’s true. The company pays you. You pay for everything else. You just don’t see all of it. They usually give you that paper during raise time to justify lower raises.
We need a mental shift in this country. People need to stop believing companies give you stuff.

And if you did that each day of your life you still couldn’t spend as much as Bezos is worth in on lifetime.
- Comment on Wait, you mean workers *don't* love the automatic dumbass machines that constantly threaten their jobs? 2 days ago:
The socially awkward CEOs of these companies went out giggle farting about how AI was going to replace everyone. Everyone starting thinking about how that would mean nobody could eat because they see what’s happening in politics. Everyone decided to nope out of that.
If they had let their PR dept handle things everyone would be oblivious and happy right now.
Good thing they could not keep their mouths shut.

- Comment on Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore 3 days ago:
Yes. But the opposition to raising minimum wage is usually that those people should just get better jobs. My point was that argument is invalid as it’s not possible.
- Comment on Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore 4 days ago:
I was about to get pissed. Now I’m cheering.
- Comment on Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore 4 days ago:
There are 30 million jobs making $15 or below. It is mathematically impossible for all or even half to get higher wage jobs.

- Comment on Republicans are arguing over if trans people can play sports while the world laughs at us 1 week ago:
Post was about a lot of countries. I singled out Israel because we pay for a lot of their shit while telling ourselves we can’t afford the same shit.
Why is that a problem for you?
- Comment on Republicans are arguing over if trans people can play sports while the world laughs at us 1 week ago:
We subsidize Israel’s government through military. The money they save helps pay for them to have socialized healthcare.
That needs to be the message.
