    I receive majority of your day

    You receive a minute fraction of my profits (which by the way does not increase even if the profits sky rocket)

    and they have the gall to suggest that if we don’t accomplish enough outside of work then it’s a matter of time management. There’s only so much time management I can do when a giant lump of my time is gone.

      and?

      where is the difference between earning $300 and needing $285 to stay alive, and earning $2000 and needing $1900 to stay alive?

        So, 300-285 =15

        2000-1900 = 100

        Δ = 85

        So 85% difference… altough I get you don’t meant that, but still, people from those places don’t realize the huge amount of stuff they get from granted, I’m a socialist anyways, but you need to be educated on where you stand on the world, I’m neither saying I’m personally dying of hunger or whatever, but the reality of the average person in a rich country, is heaps higher than whatever, is annoying for me to no end to see people complaining about having so much in reality, clean running water, sewage, a police than when you call it, it shows up, chances at an education, etc… people literally die of diharrea because unsanitary conditions, you should cherish being born in one of those countries, and still strive for the better, but do not forget how far you have come, eaning 2k/month for working 40h/week is such a sweet deal for the majority of people on earth, don’t act like it isn’t, because, in part, the only reason those countries can have so much wealth, is because for all that other people life isn’t as nice, in a way, those rich countries have outsourced crappy jobs elsewhere, and that’s not necessarily bad, those countries, my country, deserve to develop, but you at least must be aware of all of it.

        Sorry for the word salad, it just annoys me to no end how all these first worlders don’t realize how good they have it in life.

          it’s still only keeping 5% of your pay, still a minor emergancy away from having to ration food or skip meals. poverty is just as depressing everywhere, sure some could have it worse, but you telling them how great their situation is actually isn’t going to help. so let’s stop trying to hold misery olympics

          if 2000 stretches as far in one place as 300 does in another, then 100 in the first place stretches as far as 15 does in the second. it’s 5% either way.

          and this comparison only makes sense if the jobs are equal, so while your paragraph is accurate it’s not really in scope.

    It would be a lot easier to swallow if we were a part of some grand endeavor of building society and stuff for the common good. But if you try yo do that, even on your own time, they will send men with guns paid with money they stole out of your paycheck (which would maybe be tolerable if they also did, like, environmental protection or work safety or food safety or social safety nets or whatever, but it’s all just men with guns taking ypur neighbors in pre-dawn raids and shooting at your friends and threatening to murder you now).

    So fuck it. Take what you’re owed; you owe these fuckers nothing.

    And if you want to make a society, remember upull have to find out whe4e these murderous thugs live, always outside your community, and vote for them. Vote for theor families. Don’t be shy about voting for bystanders if you vote for them where they live; anyone who makes a place nice for these invaders to live deserves your vote too.
