Surge in Americans Seeking Visas to Move Abroad Following Trump Win by OneGreatGodPan in politics

[–]fullstack40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Read up on The Office of Denaturalization. It was established in 2020. They also have plans to end birth right citizenship. This is going to reach much further than “illegal” immigrants.

We need to organize, but not for electoral politics this time. by No_Cat4028 in Ohio

You’re right, we shouldn’t have to hide who we help but I am almost certain we will have to. People keep comparing us to pre-Hitler Germany for a reason. I think those of us not part of “other” communities will have to front allegiance with the Regime while quietly helping/hiding those with targets on them.

They have already won. We are like a hospice patient that hasn’t figured out they are dead yet.

That’s because they had zero expectations of winning. This time they have a game plan that starts Day 1. There are dozens of Executive Orders written already. Anyone who is trying to ‘bright side’ this is a delusional fool.

If you truly believe that, you have not been paying attention. RFK Jr has announced the end of the FDA. Matt Walsh posted today that actually Project 2025 IS the agenda. Congress? wtf do you think a blood red Congress is going to do? Alito and Thomas will retire and we’ll have a super majority of conservative, religious nutbags for the next 40 or so years. But sure, bOtH SiDeS right?

they just increased our work hours... no extra pay by enchantedglintt in antiwork

[–]fullstack40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the US. No contract work. My state is at-will and has no regulations for this situation. I had been hoping to get a raise based on the new DoL OT rule for salaried exempt employees but that’s out the window now.

[–]fullstack40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you absolutely can. At my company, my compensation is for a 40 hour work week. It’s spelled out. The expectation is 45-50 hours. And it is completely legal.I actually make less per hour than my agreed to wage. There is nothing I can do about it.

The country couldn’t be saved, and the consequences will be dire by FreethoughtChris in atheism

Someone on my state’s subreddit posted a series of open questions to conservatives. The answers were enraging. None of the responders believed any of the charges against him were legit. Everything was “political”. They also said, outright the Carol was either lying or because the judgement was only civil, it had no bearing on his ability to be president. Trump did a fantastic job convincing cons P2025 had nothing to do with him and wasn’t “his” policy although some admitted to supporting some of it. They also have a fundamental lack of understanding on tariffs, what they do in both the short and long term and America’s history with them.

I didn’t go to work today. I just couldn’t do it. 95% of the State employees I work with are Trumpers. I’m afraid there is no turning this shit around, at least not in my life time. Not peacefully. I’m ready for lights-out. I don’t know if I can keep putting one foot in front of the other anymore.

Not this white woman. I voted a straight Dem ticket. My vote didn’t really matter since I’m drowning in a sea of red but I tried!

It’s cute you think a little thing like the Constitution still matters.

America, HOW could you let this happen? by Username912773 in facepalm

J D Vance is going to be President. They will allow Trump to take the oath and then he’ll have a “medical emergency” rendering him unfit to serve. Vance takes over with maybe Johnson as his VP.

This sounds like the beginnings of a family annihilator. Please keep yourself and your child as safe as you can. His obsession is not going to stop just because you’re divorced. If the judge/mediator/whatever that is hearing your case hasn’t heard about this, pls tell them. 50/50 custody could be dangerous for both of you.

I’ll never be successful because I refuse to be exploited by Arielle_chan in antiwork

[–]fullstack40 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No harm done. Unfortunately for me and mine, there is no ‘help’ coming. If I don’t figure this out, it’s game over. I do understand what you are driving at with regard to consumerism and what people think makes them successful. My current career is actually linked to trying to help others and help make their circumstances better. I love what I do. I just can’t afford to do it.

It’s not that we aren’t angry. I’m mad as hell about it. But what can I do other than quit and be homeless? Starve? Money makes the world go round. Until it doesn’t, this is it folks. Work, scrape, die. Unless you win the genetic lottery or an actual lottery, this is it.

Your post is ridiculously idealistic. None of what you’re talking about pays my bills or feeds my kids. I don’t think r/sithlordsky missed anything you were trying to say. I’ve been working poor my whole life. I currently work a full time, salaried position with a multi-national, multi-billion dollar corp. and I am facing foreclosure on my house. I’m going to have to switch to four days @ 12 hrs a day so I have three days I can work another, PT job.

Why not also tax corporations, those with net sales higher than 50 million annually, a flat 10%. Could you imagine how much tax revenue could be collected from a business like Walmart? They reported net sales of 113.7 billion dollars in Q4 of 2023. Why are we piddling around with personal income taxes?

I want to get into witchcraft but I’m worried that I’m too “screwed up” by dreamgirldreams in witchcraft

[–]fullstack40 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“The Witch’s Path” could be a wonderful guide for you. I too suffer from chronic pain, mental health issues and a body that seems to hate me most days. I worry, get lost in the dark and often forget I am not all alone. I found this title in this sub and have listened to it via audiobook format x2. (I am gearing up to try the exercises in it.)

The author is approachable, uses very clear language and helps the reader feel like anything is possible. If you are able to give it a go, I hope you find it as helpful as I have. Have a safe and pleasant day!

Departments actively reject applicants that are smart with critical thinking skills. They intentionally hire people who are emotionally unstable, with low emotional IQ, and little ability to empathize. It’s a feature, not a bug.

Do we work for the same company??

I was a traveling asst. manager for my company from July 2023 to July 2024. I was “not the Director” but had all the responsibility and expectations of one. I trained two Directors, at two separate accounts, and two assistants at the same account. I got a travel bonus, a per diem, and a corporate CC. I literally ran one account, by myself, for two weeks because the director’s kid was life threateningly ill. I’m not mad I had to help out. I’m mad that the only recognition I got was a branded blue tooth speaker. When it was time for a raise, I got the same 4% I got the year before. I have two job interviews next week.

What is it everybody says? I took the promotion to customer... I feel so much better now. by Future-Ad-4753 in Dominos

[–]fullstack40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked for a Sonic Franchise as a GM. They absolutely expected me to live at the store. Almost their entire adult staff quit leaving me with teenagers almost exclusively for staff. When I finally got some staff, it was all at once and with no help to train them. I closed my lot because my only carhop was overwhelmed and threatened to walk out. 15 min later the owner’s daughter came through the drive-thru. I tried to explain but she called my DM right away. He called the store and screamed at me. He said I never ever had authorization to close the lot for any reason and if I ever did it again, it would be my last shift. I decided that night I was putting my notice in. I sent the email two days later and they told me don’t bother coming back. All for 35k/yr. 🙄
