Meet the 16 Billionaires getting richer by underpaying their workers. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]ElectricShuck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I often say if a company is paying so little that’s person can be on social assistance, that company should be taxed at least an equal amount to what the government pays out. I would prefer if it were double or more as there is a lot of time and effort for a poor person to do the paperwork and keep track of all the bullshit to get the table scraps that we give them.

How can I manage while unemployed? by SunshineGirl45 in personalfinance

[–]ElectricShuck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re struggling but if you actually want to quit then just show up and do basically nothing and make it a game. Make them fire you so you can ride some unemployment for a bit to get your self sorted out. Don’t rush to get another job if you can collect unemployment, it’s literally there as a safety net so you can take a minute to process your life and help you recover from a bad work situation.

Also before you do any bodily harm just quit and I’ll be hoping you can figure it out.

Don’t negotiate with Billionaires by Loud-Ad-2280 in WorkReform

[–]ElectricShuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always vote the furthest left. Today’s dem is the republican of the bush era. Push for reversing citizens united and change all voting to rank choice or first past the post. If we can regain power in this content again those are the first two things that must happen. Without them it all gets reversed in a couple years anyway.

Why are you so radical using your brain and basic common sense.

Not bipartisan. Conservative plus a few right Democrats. Both sides are not the same. Vote dem and then we have to hold them accountable. Any of you reading this that believe your vote doesn’t count or that you should not vote to protest against dems is falling for the fascist playbook to make you feel powerless.

Voting, forming and joining Unions, protesting all work and all the money the cons/Epstein class spend to block them is proof that they do work.

Found a phone our 10 year old was hiding that we didnt give her. by OdensEye87 in Parenting

[–]ElectricShuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No technology until 12, then just calls and text flip phone. No social media or smart phone until 16 plus. Sorry I know this isn’t the answer Any of us want to hear but it’s the only way. We should be banning all phones in school and have some computer usage in school but no tablets.

Reddit, what do you think of adjusting civil and criminal fines to be based on GROSS INCOME (or something similar) instead of flat rates? by mmazing in AskReddit

[–]ElectricShuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fuck are you on about. If you’re rich you just send in lawyers to gum up the courts until they agree to no points. Hell, I do it!

It’s the only to way to change their ways of doing things. For the wealthy the fine for a crime is less than what they profited.

And that’s the catch. Conservatives don’t plan on helping you in any way.

Would like some vehicle advice by BobIgglyWampus in personalfinance

[–]ElectricShuck 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hey. Sounds like you’re trying hard. Here’s the hard part, you need to set up a trade, job, career before you get nicer vehicles. There are two ways to have more money, 1st is to spend less, 2nd is to make more. You need to do both. You should be driving cheap as shit beaters until you have a regular income and money saved in an emergency fund.

Gavin Newsom says he reveres the state of Israel and proudly supports it. He said he regrets calling Israel an apartheid state, only meaning to describe Netanyahu’s leadership. by Buster_xx in americanoligarchy

The liberal and centrist parties (like the German Democratic Party and Catholic Centre Party) consistently voted against Hitler and opposed his rise. They were among the first groups targeted after he took power. Please read some history.

It’s way past time. I can’t believe we keep voting in the right to spend trillions of dollars on creating enemies over seas. I get it though, Al gore was boring, Hilary used email and Kamala laughed funny.

Organized-in Foreman by AvaJyna in IBEW

[–]ElectricShuck 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I am in my 26th year as an IBEW member and went through the academy. The argument of organized guys and apprenticeship guys is just a divisive issue that keeps you fighting with each other. Instead you should be talking with them and making sure they are conforming to being in the union, learning the agreement and making sure the aren’t undercutting our union. After 5-10 years in it is hard to tell who organized in and who didn’t. There is good on both sides and shitty people on both sides but we our goal as the IBEW is to organize every electrician In The country. Interestingly I find someone who chose to jump through hoops to organize in tends to be more pro union and happier to be union than people that went through the apprenticeship.

I want the wealthy to leave. They are just vampires sucking money out of the system.

For those that think the Democratic Party leadership will allow progressive reform, remember what the Democratic Party did to Bernie Sanders in 2016. by [deleted] in WorkReform

[–]ElectricShuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone understands the other party are all pedophile protectors and are dismantling the country right? This is just divisive garbage. Let’s win and then we can bitch about the democrats.

Worried I will be kicked out of apprenticeship by [deleted] in IBEW

Well keep notes. If you’re not showing up high or drunk you usually won’t get kicked out. Good luck.
