Not to be a devil’s advocate but the little people aren’t paying taxes. The top 20% pay the taxes for the most part, the problem is the money in the first place giving too small of a group of people too much say in how everyone lives.

I think you’re missing the point. Purchasing a utility item for its utility is fine, just don’t splurge on a car when that money is far better put into housing, healthier foods, education, etc.

It is legally discrimination. What part of that isn’t understood? Substitute women for any other group based on height, age, race, religion, or sexual preference and see that your argument doesn’t hold water.

Imagine if this was a whites only or over 6ft tall job fair, this stuff just fails to make sense when you divide groups based on criteria you can’t control.

Brother our infrastructure is why our kids are all weak and obese and all of ours cities are unlivable.

Imagine questioning a free neck stretch

If worker unions were required by law then I would agree. The issue is that companies will corner the job market to suppress wages. The government applies some pressure the opposite way via minimum wages to help force progress. Self checkouts and various other automated processes don’t occur without some kind of selection pressure.

Think of minimum wages as forcing weaker companies out of the market.

That’s EAs former CEO lmao

Well said, I definitely lean towards indie with the occasional Fromsoft/Larian/Bethesda purchase

Worker rights kinda suck and it can be difficult to form communities due to being more spread out and car centric.

I always ask if there’s in office and will flat out reject anything more than 1-2 days per week

If you’re in STEM it’s really not a problem. I feel for others in auxiliary roles though.
