    Do you think Mr. Pillow Pants is paying better than that?

      Could be. Or maybe your numbers aren’t reasonable for the area. (more likely) But even setting aside that, there are plenty of reasons “hurr durr get a new jerb” may not be realistic advice: maybe the hours for a fast food job don’t work because they’re already working two jobs, or they have kids, or whatever. I didn’t say no one can get a new job, I engaged my empathy (try it) and pointed out that it’s not a universally available option.

        I have empathy. I’ve had shitty bosses. Do you think I’m saying to go quit on the spot and then start job hunting? Because that would be really dumb. You apply for new jobs on the clock at your shitty job.

          You may not understand this right now, but you are speaking from a place of privilege.

            You don’t know a damn thing about me. I’ve been borderline homeless in the past. At least I’m presenting a potential solution, rather than wringing my hands and saying “welp, can’t do anything about working for this monster. Guess I’ll just stay here forever.”

              I stand by my statement. That, or your empathy is broken.

                You just don’t understand how the world works lol. Do you not understand we’re in the middle of a massive labor shortage right now, and have been since the pandemic hit? No one is saying walk out on the spot. Job hunt and continue working, then just stop showing up. Jobs don’t give you 2 weeks notice when they fire you or lay you off, so they don’t deserve it either.

                  There’s a labor shortage because people are fed up with shit jobs. Something about being labeled “essential” and making shit money. You’re wrong about this. You sound like a “pull yourself up by your bootstraps, poor person” republican. If that’s not your intent, reevaluate your stance.

                    Yes, people are fed up with shit jobs. That has nothing to do with this topic, though. The topic is people working for a fascist. You are pretending they can’t find another job and just have to accept defeat and work for a fascist. I stated that there’s plenty of jobs out there, so that’s not a valid excuse. We’ve known who this guy is and what he represents for at least 3 years now. Anyone still working for him at this point is either cool with the fascism or outright support it themselves. Stop making excuses for shitty people.
