A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

does elon have a non-ai picture that doesn't look exactly like a troglodyte?

Wouldn’t work from home allow the government to sell office buildings it doesn’t need, and therefore save money?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah but work from home pisses off two major Republican sub-groups. One- being someone's boss gives them a woody. A chance to feel like they're towering over someone else gives them meaning to their life. Two- republicans hate when people have it better than them, thus born the stereotype of it being truly American to work harder for less money. Get those lazy asses back to hard murican labor, and no free healthcare.

Three - they're heavily invested in commercial real estate and need bodies in suites to throw more gold on their hoard

How the fuck did you idiots end up with musk as an advisor to a mentally challenged president!?

[–] [email protected] 42 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Because half the voting population is idiots.

Especially the half that didn't vote

It was a joint effort of idiocy.

Their obvious incompetence is why putin choose them to lead our country.

I've been telling people for years, Russia most certainly influenced the outcome of the US elections because they have a huge interest in placing inept, incompetent, easily manipulated fools in power, in their "enemy" countries.

It wouldn't surprise me if they had something to do with an actor becoming president of Ukraine. They had plans to take Ukraine, and they didn't want a real politician in power when they tried it.

They have really outdone themselves this time. It's actually impressive.

Thats a great way to make the economy even better!

[–] phubarr 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

They just CAN'T let us have something. They don't even have a good reason to take it from us, they just don't want us to have it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago

They do have a reason. Their real estate holdings aren't as profitable.

Can't wait until all those workers move to European based companies.

[–] TheBat 2 points 7 hours ago

I hope not. I want to get there first. Don't need Americans to fuck even that opportunity.

If M*sk actually worked a day in his life, he'd have a brain aneurysm. He works the same way a cat who gets everything handed to them because they're too lazy to move works.

[–] DerArzt 19 points 12 hours ago

I wonder what the Unions that those workers are a part of would do?

Are federal workers unionized in the US? I see the article says some are.

[–] redhorsejacket 1 points 4 hours ago

Yes. However, federal trade unions are muzzled in the sense that it is against the law for a federal employee to engage in a strike. It's been on the books since the 50s, but the balance of power really shifted when Reagan enforced it against 10,000 striking air traffic controllers. Some were incarcerated, and nearly all were blackballed from ever working a government job ever again (though that was eventually rescinded in the 90s). There's no doubt now that even a "liberal" president would follow suit in the event another illegal strike occurred.

I guess that might become a battleground for them to kill labor rights.
