    Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime,

    that was a poem from a simpler time.

    Boss makes a dollar, we don’t make jack,

    that’s why we fight to take the means back!

    i love WFH because i can wake up feeling like shit and log on immediately to start the clock instead of waking up on my own time and giving my peak hours to the capitalists

      No commute though so at least you’re not crying in the car while stuck in traffic.

      But they don’t dictate it. They win if you cry only when it doesn’t affect them

        They do. The capitalistic grind makes you think it’s more worthwhile to cry while making money, rather than cry when you needed to.

        But they get you to cry on their terms. How much is agency worth as a human being - more or less than the hourly wage?

          On their terms? The capitalists don’t want you to cry while you’re supposed to be working. Crying on their terms would be crying outside of work.

            Yet capitalism is ingrained enough for you to think that’s the best option, instead of what you need / want it’s whatever that makes you the most money. So it’s a win for capitalism in the sense that you are the capitalist first, and human second.

      And have higher standards.

      Don’t spend money on what you can get for free if you can avoid it.

      Crazy seeing people complain about not having enough money while wasting their paychecks on digital entertainment they could be getting for free.

      It all adds up.

    I work weekends so I’ll be sad if I want to. My Mondays are pretty chill. All you people who do a single damn thing on the weekend that requires anyone at all to work can shut the hell up about it too.
