I'm unqualified to comment on the whole history of what has gone on between Israel and Palestine, but some of the **** I've seen of Israel essentially looking like an apartheid era South Africa is wild. I'd love for someone to correct me if I'm wrong here, but it really seems like Israel essentially committed genocide and has started forcibly removing people off of land they have lived on for a long time.
I feel like any criticism of that type of thing immediately gets conflated with antisemitism, so I'll stop there.
Just watched the Big Short last night, had never seen it and didn’t fully understand what happened. Really makes you mad what these crooks get away with.
I actually agree. What we’re witnessing is a market correction. These jobs need to pay more it’s obvious and until they do they will have issues with staffing. Republicans and business owners are just mad because usually they can manipulate the market to their own benefit but competition has a way of winning out in situations like this.The funny thing in all of this is the vocal restaurant owners and those complaining about unemployment inconveniencing them don’t even realize that those low wage jobs aren’t just competing with unemployment. Yeah, unemployment gave them a talking point to whine about, but that’s not the only thing they’re competing against.
They’re competing with gig work, side hustles, and focus groups which often pay what someone would make in 2-3 days work at some of those jobs just to answer questions about a product via zoom for 2 hours. On that lower wage level, more and more people are realizing they can supplement their income if not make more through other means without the stress, having to work around scheduling and being micromanaged.
I’m curious to what the narrative is going to be for those places once they can’t use unemployment as their woe is me talking point anymore.
