    The privilege you have that allows to think we already have control over punching the clock.

    That’s great go do that, what are the hourly workers going to when a reduction to 6 hours is a 25% pay cut on a wage that is about half a century behind inflation… That was before covid and the astronimical rise in cost of living recently

    There’s people, a fucking ton of people, because of incredibly shitty wages, that cant buy a dozen eggs without needing to work 2 hours that same reduction you just spoke of is how much they have to work just to afford that

      P. S. : The sarcasm was a distant reference to this and other kinds of resembling discourse floating around today.

        Mark it next time, the sarcasm was not at all obvious

            With all the ridiculousness actively going on right now and some of the most outlandish things people genuinely believe, satire and sarcasm are nearly impossible to distinguish. Real life is too weird now for anything to be unbelievable.

          Fair, but I thought it was a given on Lemmy.

            Look egg Is on my face.

            I misunderstood. But you can’t just assume sarcasm through text. It’s often easy enough to miss irl

            And many people are somewhere in the spectrum so it’s just a really bad idea to assume your audience is in on the joke. I might be one of them if this was really that obviously sarcastic to the average person

            You didn’t say anything that was outlandish or completely ridiculous.

              Makes sense, indeed.

      I wish I could, fam, I wish I could.

      But in the meantime, I can write sarcastic posts for my Lemmy pals during my commute to my 8 hours of work for my boss.
