Does a laughable wage work?

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago

This is how I feel whenever someone says "we ought to have a UBI... below the poverty level." The entire world has been stolen from us and we deserve 100% of that surplus back.

Money has diminishing marginal utility, and we live in a profoundly unequal economy. That means the overwhelming majority of our resources are being wasted. With today's technology we should be living large.

After so many years of working and with an aging body, i'd demand a dying wage on top of that too.

I believe you heard me say "a lot of bacon".

I asked for ALL OF your bacon.

I’ve heard people call it a thriving wage but if this is what it takes to get the wine moms to shift left, let’s go with this terminology.

Employers in British Columbia: “The living wage is too expensive for us!”

Employees: “Maybe you shouldn’t have increased prices to an astronomical amount and gave your CEOs record payouts”

My orange cares not for live laugh love. He cares for shred shed shit.

gosh... i worked in a media store where they would sometimes just grill stuff during work hours. that was fun... ignoring the fact that im a vegetarian, but... having that after work oh wow thats awful

Like, grilled corn is amazing. You just throw it on, straight in the husk, turn it three or four times, and get something delicious. Don't even have to put anything on it if you don't want, but I usually put some BBQ rub and some butter or oil. But if they aren't going to accommodate something that simple, they can get fucked.

I don't think that I laugh or love enough to meaningfully supplement my living wage :/

[-] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

Too bad. Your wage has just been doubled and you are now contractually obligated to laugh and love. Commence enjoying your life immediately!

No wage seize the means of production in common and abolish wages in general.
