The CEO could not do what a package handler or driver does. That is also a fact.
Unskilled jobs still NEED to be done. They are NOT OPTIONAL. That is also a fact.
Do you believe that unskilled laborers do not deserve to be paid a living wage? Do you happen to know what the living wage in your nearest major city is? I ask because that’s where all of the ups part timers work. They are not able to live in low income towns and rural areas because that’s not where the hubs are.
Mechanics make very good money with ups because of the union. This specific negotiation was for part time workers and drivers, negotiating higher base pay for all part timers and drivers, AC in drivers trucks, and better benefits.
The contract for mechanics and pilots will largely remain the same because again, these are some of the more lucrative jobs at ups.
The union ceases to exist without the companies that have unionized. What you are saying is antithetical to the idea and nature of a union.
The CEO of ups made $19 million last year. I think they can afford to pay her less and their actual workers more.
Is everything a fucking dog?
In the US we take like four to six years of Spanish and walk away with “donde estas la biblioteca” and “donde esta el baño.”
Ah yes, the great American Bengal tiger. Our symbol of obedience and power. A cultural cornerstone you might say.
Joe “why does it lie?” Rogan. What a fucking idiot
Edit: I actually just watched the first episode of fear factor not too long ago and I’m surprised that I ever thought he would be a different person tbh
Underrated comment
There is a carpet store and restaurant near my house, and in the three years I’ve lived here I can’t recall seeing anyone buy anything or even visit either store a single time.
Once my partner and I actually walked over to check it out and the carpet store was closed and all of the windows were covered. It was like 4 in the afternoon on a Wednesday, so I can’t imagine why it would be closed.
There’s supposedly a lot of Russian gang activity in my area, so I’m assuming it’s just a front for them but I’ve never really confirmed it.
ACAB is a critique of the policing system as a whole, not individuals.
Good individuals enforcing a bad system are still as bad as the systems they enforce.
Law enforcement should truly be built around the idea of protecting and serving the greater public, but at this time it’s really just legalized violence controlled by the rich, like a hit squad.
I’ll look into it, thanks!
My favorite was Linux, but I got really into producing music and fl studio and all of my vsts don’t run in Linux afaik. I’m just not willing to throw away the money I’ve spent and try and find open source alternatives
It’s how he talks too.
You mean Americans are finding out that there is no meritocracy? Go fucking figure
Do you have any actual policies that you agree with? Having guns and not killing minorities are not policies, that’s just culture war shit.
“it’s like reddit but there’s no Spez”
You read a comment from a person criticizing the current government for being self motivated and taking bribes under a story about climate change and how we’re all fucked and you thought this was a centrist comment?
I think it’s important to remember that musk has never actually done anything to innovate the companies he’s been a part of. He didn’t create PayPal, he just bought his way in and made a series of dumb suggestions. He didn’t create Tesla, he bought Tesla right after they had fine tuned their models, and then he made a series of changes that likely resulted in a worse product.
Elon Musk is not a good businessman, he’s just rich and has a habit of purchasing profitable companies. Anyone could do this with his wealth. I’m not even really convinced that he’s offered many technical ideas or designs for any of his companies, as it seems that would be the first thing he would mention every single time someone brought up one of his companies.
Politicians love their bribes more than they love the planet, so that’s probably not going to happen. Dems and cons both
I absolutely agree, there’s skill in almost any job. But that’s a whole other argument I didn’t want to get into with this dude.
Tbh I imagine an actually unskilled job is being the CEO of a large corporation
