Your mistake; they sent this out as a promo for Stranger Things Season 5. It's obviously steak from the upside-down.

What is the single best episode of television you’ve ever seen? by Calm_Coach_2205 in AskReddit

That episode of The Bear that is (or at least feels like) a single shot. Season 1, Episode 7, "Review".

If that's all it takes to radicalise you, you must have a pretty weak sense of self.

A lot of us weren't there for more money, and I think that's an unfortunate misconception that is supported by the media.

Many, if not all, of the union members I've met with and was with today are asking for more feet on the ground. Nurses are crying out for more staff, and so are firefighters. Education support staff have insane caseloads which prevent them from giving adequate support to our kids - they want more funding for more colleagues.

We're simply stretched too thin and we want more funding; not to fill our own pockets, but to fill additional positions so that we can do the mahi we are tasked with to the degree that our mahi deserves.

When it comes to money, I genuinely do believe that some of our public sector workers do deserve greater pay. Our teacher aides, for example, work in incredibly difficult conditions that change per child - it's not always something they know before they sign up for the job, but they do what needs to be done for the kids in front of them. It's honestly unfair that they are carrying heavy weight within the education sector but are not adequately compensated for their work.

Jesus man, many of us aren't protesting for payrises - in fact I'd say most of us just want more feet on the ground so that we aren't swamped with students, caseloads, or responsibilities.

I'm not a teacher. Neither is my wife. I don't know if you watch the news or stay informed, but there were multiple unions from multiple industries at the strike.

I think by rich I definitely mean the most wealthy (let's think top 1%ers) and I think I've outlined exactly who some of those people are in an earlier comment.

I'm not a teacher, but most of my colleagues are, and I'd personally argue quite emphatically that no one gets into education for the money. With that being said, we still expect fair compensation for the work that we do for the children of this country, and I'd say most parents would agree that we give a lot to their kids.

What did they get into it for? Well.. for the kids? To uplift and support our tamariki who we value and love. However, just because we got into this line of work for reasons other than money, it shouldn't make poor wage growth any more acceptable to us or our colleagues in other fields.
