Yes, because that's not what happens lol. You don't immediately lose those things unless you sit around and do nothing. That's true of literally everything, even communism.
I hate that all my bills are like forced automation so I can't plan out when I can pay them, I'm forced to pay them all at the beginning/end of the month - there's no options to change the date any more and if you call up and ask, they get all weepy and apologize that they can't offer a different date to pay.
So I'm just forced to let them all go through and then play catch up cause of how I get paid not lining up with the end/start of every month.
Thankfully my job will reimburse me for one of my bills but of course they take fucking forever to process the reimbursement.
Have you tried getting them move to a strange dat, like the 14th? Might work.
Nah, they won't do it anymore.
You went off into a completely separate topic. Also union fights for workers, but it does not imply a democracy. It just means being able to fight back against exploitation. There will still be a CEO in charge and you'll have no say.
