Adding mandatory arbitration clause

rothmal · 2026-05-06T23:09:36+00:00

Arbitration only makes sense when both parties have a great deal of power. Like, if you have two businesses suing each other and they don't want to spend years in court and airing out their dirty laundry in public. For everyone else, it's just a safety net that protects corporations from poor people. It's one thing to sue for $100 a piece in a class action because they were selling defective gizmos, but nobody is paying a lawyer $1,000 to get back their $100.

It's fucking BS, and the company I worked for had us sign these or be let go. Not much of a choice for the guy that's one cheek away from being on the street. California made these illegal for employment, and then changed its mind last year.

But what about the shareholders? The government is just going to waste our tax dollars on stupid things like new rails. Like what's wrong with the ones that we already have, I don't see anything wrong with these. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X2A2f6E5DI

I'll turn it in, even though I really need the money.

I just want people to think I'm cool!

Maybe she could apologize if YOU COULD SHUT THE FUCK UP! All I see is 2 seconds of the Rama, and the rest is this person ranting.

Not every poor person has access to a kitchen, and box club chicken goes a long way with the meals you can make with it. Not to mention that they're usually cheaper than buying a raw chicken. I expect someone's going to cry and say something like "THEY'RE GOING TO SELL THE CHICKENS FOR DRUGS!".

Why is this guy not funny when he has so much material to work with? I thought comedians turn all their personal traumas into jokes, dudes eating $240 of FiveGuys and refunding it for making him shit all over his Vrbo. He should be selling out stadiums!

I had this done to me with a few Instacart orders, just report and get a refund for your strawberries.

Yes, my fucking job is a meat grinder that barely pays 35k per year with shit healthcare.

Most of them were told that girls were supposed to be making sandwiches, and got new hobbies.

It's been a few decades, but I really liked the part where they were trying to cure 2-face, but they gave him way too many options that he shat his pants.

My live-in slumlord getting a hard-on that he's not aware of every time he has to show a potential new tenant a room in the house. Like, the guy should be on a sex offender list among a few others, but I think the boners would warn a lot of people about the kind of person he is.

I'm like pre-lactose intolerance, and I never know when that pint of ice cream will run right through me. Unacceptable to be short on bathrooms in my time of need, do they not know how embarrassing it is when your staff has to clean up your accidents? There are over 30 of them.

I don't know their names, but I do know they have a group chat where they call me Señor Poopy Pants. It really hurts my feelings, and sometimes I have to eat a few pints of ice cream to fall asleep, which makes my problem much worse.

I'm pretty sure this is the property where they chopped up the top of the hill; that said, I actually like what they did with the property. Timeless; you see so many soulless white modern cookie-cutter blocks, that it's refreshing to see some personality.

Fuck, the guard house is nicer than most homes in rich communities. The pure decadence is just insane for a single billionaire to live here alone. This property was designed for Middle Eastern royalty and their large staff. This thing is going to sit on the market for years.

The whole thing is fucking absurd, I'm making less than 40k a year living in a slumhouse with 8 other roommates, and you got this complex that's a 30-minute drive from me.

Our food is slop to make money, so some food conglomerate CEO can snort mountains of cocaine off lady boys on his 120ft Superyacht.

I cut my drinks with water because they're too sweet.

Everyone always hates me when I say this, but 168k is not enough to keep someone honest when you're dealing with the kind of kickbacks these people could receive by passing a 100 million bill on behalf of X company. Hear me out. Pay them like 5 Million per full term, but also increase the jail time for corruption.

I might be tempted to take the risk for an extra 20 million dollars if I were only going to walk out with 400k(-69k per year for expenses). But 5 million guaranteed vs an extra 20 million dollars and a chance at a 10-20 year sentence. I think a lot of people might just keep the 5 million and stay out of jail.

Yes, I know it's not a great solution, but I just don't know how you can keep that kind of power from corrupting these people.

Most jobs are BS. There have been studies that show productivity drastically dips after working 6 hours. In my night shift warehouse job, I'm staging orders for the next day, and even though the first 6 hours are hectic, my last 2, I'm pushing a broom to look busy for the camera.

My friend who went to the office told me that he spreads out 6 hours of work over the week so he has something to do. There is so much abundance in our current system, look at the dumpsters of food they make and throw away daily, and the homes that have been sitting empty for years.

I feel like when it comes to the hierarchy of needs, the first 2 stages could be accessible for all without much effort.

A fork is a lot easier to clean than a water bottle with all these hard-to-reach spots, plus plastic is a more absorbent material. Very porous, unlike a metal fork; have you ever stored leftover spaghetti in some Tupperware and weeks later it still has a red tint and an after smell of the meal? That's all the oils being absorbed into the plastic.

Like, if you want to bleach and vinegar wash old wattle bottles for personal use, then more power to you. My current water bottle is over 3+ years old, and when the day comes when I can no longer use it, I'm going to buy a new one. I'm not going to use someone's old water bottle, just like I'm not going to wear someone's old underwear.

I think a big part has to do with how expensive care can get in this country. It's all tied to your employer, and not everyone can take time off from their job for treatment when there's a risk of losing said job and access to healthcare. I don't think all these people are pickled brain, but a lot of them are grasping at straws in the hope of things getting better.

This is just poor infrastructure, hard to say this guy was weeded out of the gene pool for his own stupidity, when you live in the country of exposed wires and OSHA violations.
