Oof, that’s still like ~$5k.

I remember the days when Mt. Gox, which held 1/3 of bitcoin data, went dark and everyone with an account got scammed/lost all their BTC. Then it turned out 95% of all BTC was owned by less than 1% of people, and that was the beginning of the end (at least for me). Seems like people have made money in the short term, but cryptocurrency still has grift energy to it.

That’s actually a great idea. But Republicans would contort themselves into pretzels at the thought of a President Kamala, even for one day.

I agree with this. In fact, there’s already been over 30 “mass shootings” in the US this month alone.

Do your research, people.

Also, by blowing up headlines like this article, it just gives more attention to the “black on black” violence crowd. Do better.

I mean, they basically are. It was Bernie and Josh Hawley ® trying to increase the covid relief package. Bipartisanship all the way down.

In my case, I figured out that my manager was pocketing $20 from my drawer every time because I always had a perfect drawer.

I was supposed to have a 30-min lunch, and after I ordered my sandwich, my boss comes in and tells me the rules have changed and they need me back on the floor immediately. I was so pissed. So in my head I was all, “Fuck it, they’re gonna pay for my (now cold) sandwich” and took $10 out of the drawer.

The next shift, I saw my name had been flagged. It said I was off $30 for that shift. But curiously, I wasn’t written up or spoken to. Hmm…

I tested it again and took $5. This time I’d been flagged again for $25. The manager came and spoke to me, but he didn’t seem mad. Just like, “What’s going on?” I turned it on him, “Yeah, what IS going on?”

Apparently I learned after working there for awhile that it’s a thing the managers do to nick off the top just enough not to raise the alarms. And my streak of perfect drawers made me an easy mark.

I can’t say I was mad. I was earning minimum, my manager was earning that +$2 and working 60 hours a week.

I blame capitalism.

The downside is we can’t witness his full-blown implosion on twitter.

The saddest part?

This was ten years ago.

I’d like to downvote because I don’t think this post is the most appropriate way to frame this discussion, but I also don’t want to get flagged for the next purge. :thinkin-lenin:

The saddest draconian employment conditions I’ve heard of is my friend who worked at a college food court. You had your Subway and Domino’s and Panda Express, etc. All lined up in one giant row along the wall. They were expected to work with factory floor efficiency. There’d be three or four minimum wage college kids working each line, burn out was 4-6 weeks for most. There was one manager who would sit in his office operating all the cameras and would radio in on any employee who was on their phone, working too slow, or talking too much to customers. A perennial voice in their ear from an eye in the sky.

Absolute torture.
