  • Please do explain the difference, then, between why breaks are necessary but vacations shouldn’t be? You do realize study after study shows that 24-30 hour work weeks provide the most productivity? That family leave, healthcare, paid time off etc is associated with the happiest citizens? Is increased well-being not necessary in your worldview?

    Lol damn, God forbid someone want more out of life than scraping by getting basic needs barely met. I’ve been looking around while in school, and plenty of jobs are still paying $15-19/hr. That is barely enough to get by, depending where you live and rent may not even be enough, let alone take a vacation once a year or even think of raising a family.






  • That’s what elected officials are meant to be doing already, anyway. They’re only there through our votes. Elections need to be modernized, imo, to at least guarantee every qualified citizen a mail-in ballot.

    I’d be down to occupy some local, state or national land for that message, but organizing also takes a fuckton of resources. Women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, men’s rights, whatever - everyone should feel unified by the right to vote. Who gives a damn what anyone votes for; it’s none of my business. But when local elections get less than 15% turnout, states <50, and presidential maybe 65, I’m just enraged that the people left out are the most needing to be heard.
