You’re sure you guys don’t want some more socialism?

[OddBeMe]

Says Bernie.

No! I like working overtime!

Ehh, maybe….

I think too many of you fcks have shitty jobs. That’s the issue.

[inhua]

socialism wouldn't actually be a bad thing if it were to be actually implemented properly to everyone's problems in all aspects not just finances and assets but also ensure that there are state-mandated spouses to fix the isolation problem, oh wait that's never gonna happen

[TooHot2Care]

. . .. . . You wouldn't need a state mandated spouse if you just went out and did something with your life, which would be tenable if our economy wasn't in the shit...

[OddBeMe]

@inhua how would state mandated spouses work?

[TooHot2Care]

Hey, worked for the Japanese when they captured those Korean ladies and slaughtered their men and ate them.

[RavVid]

60 hour weeks are boys hours.

[OddBeMe]

They’re proletarian hours. Get a career that pays yearly

[OddBeMe]

Lol.

[TooHot2Care]

Proletariat. . . . .

[OddBeMe]

@TooHot2Care I love that word. Tho I am one,

[TooHot2Care]

Are you, though?

[Anonymous]

Bernie is right but unfortunately most people are working 60 and 70 hour weeks just to be broke so unless working people are going to get paid the same for 32hour week there's no point

[Agape93]

I'd rather the government just mind its own business and stay out of our personal lives unless someone's in active danger.

[OddBeMe]

Or your employer takes advantage of you? Screws you on wages? Who you gonna call?

[Agape93]

Ignore him.

If I get screwed on wages, I'll either take it as a learning lesson and move on, or I'll get even.

[OddBeMe]

Sounds like a rape victim keeping it to themselves.

[Agape93]

Or a rape victim getting justice either by herself or vicariously through another. I know I'd feel better at night knowing I could be allowed to blow my attackers head off without going to prison for life. I know plenty of others in the world would feel safer knowing their attackers could be punished, without waiting for the law to do anything, on the off chance they do anything at all.

[Agape93]

Most rape victims don't come forward as is because they know the POLICE won't do anything. Most rapes are never even brought to trial, most rapists are never even jailed and many of the ones that are, don't face much of a sentence. Nice try, but not good enough.

[OddBeMe]

And that is bad. But what if they were forced due to all the victims coming forward? Instead of trying to “get Justice themselves”? Life ain’t a Skinemax movie.

[Agape93]

Yeah, that sounds more like a movie than what I said. When epsteins victims came forward, they gave him a slap on the wrist and made it impossible for them to go after him or his money. When Cosby had it happen, dude only spent months in jail and got out only on a clerical fuck up.

Life doesn't run on what ifs, it runs on reality. And like it or not, how things are now, is NOT working. At all. We need to stop coddling criminals who use, abuse and murder us for their own gratification, under some foolish notion of human rights. Fuck that.

[OddBeMe]

Yes…rich people get special privileges. What finally got Epstein tho? A Batman vigilante? No, women coming forward. Ditto for Weinstein.

[Sevenpointfive]

i forget what i was watching and how i got there, but the words rang true.

you might get a high paying job, but you'll work overtime.
you might get an in the middle job and be satisfied because you aren't paid what your worth and they don't expect much more.
you might not have a job and well that is alright living off the people that do.

[Anonymous]

I have a better idea. If you want people to willingly do more overtime, don't take any taxes from overtime work (I prefer no income tax but I would settle for this). Make it worth the trouble and would make more people want to do it.

But no, you guys want to make it 32 hours and no more and that could mean a loss of productivity from businesses.

[Juxtapose]

Capitalism is perfectly fine and you would also have problems with socialism because we have not gotten to the root problem of our country..

Corruption.

[OddBeMe]

The socialism we do have here works pretty well….

[Ptrmbrs88]

No, because I don't want to be sent to the Gulags for simply expressing views that are deemed to be politically "incorrect" by the commissars who run the mainstream media and the technology companies.

[Stoner710]

I’m good yes I have a shitty job but it’s worth it rather being enslaved to the government

[OddBeMe]

But we are the govt. Do you mean enslaved by liberals?

[Stoner710]

No I mean the government can only enslave people, You come up with an idea to sell cat toys and the government comes in take your idea create the cat toys themselves then profit on it themselves. That’s no different than slave owners in the south saying to there black slaves come up with an idea to make money the save comes up with car toys and the slave owner profits from the slaves idea. Government is the master you are the slave regardless if the majority of the other slaves say give your idea for cat toys to the master.

[OddBeMe]

Umm no that doesn’t happen with cat toys or any other venture. In fact it’s the opposite. The government came up the internet, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi…and just gave it away to big business…

[Stoner710]

Cat toys was an example.

Who invented blue tooth and Wi-Fi it wasn’t rhe government sure they sponsored them but they didn’t invent Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. I love NASA I support what they do but why hasn’t NASA gotten us to Mars at this point? Why is it up to the private sector to get us to Mars? Oh yeah because the government doesn’t care if the government held on to the patent for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. It wouldn’t be here today if private companies did not continue what they invented paid for by the government it wouldn’t exist today that’s not Socialism that is practicality. Government with help from private companies help both government and private businesses to thrive but that mercantilis, not socialism

[gorydetails]

Ah Bernie. The guy who had the 2016 nomination stolen from him but still shills for the party.

[OddBeMe]

He knows the lesser of two evils. Why he didn’t run third party

[gorydetails]

He knows who keeps him wealthy despite him never having a job.

[OddBeMe]

He works harder than the repub fcks who never show up votes.

[gorydetails]

I guess if you call sucking Hillary cock work, yes.

[Redstang88]

I’m pissed if I work less than 50 🤷‍♂️

[OddBeMe]

Maybe get off hourly paid and into…a career

[Redstang88]

I make 6 figures with way more days off than an office job so I’ll keep my “not a career”. Some of us have real work to do

[OddBeMe]

More days off working 50 hr weeks?

Just joshing you mate.

[Redstang88]

Yeah, put in 100-120 in a week then have the next off

[OddBeMe]

Sometimes my clients are on me one week and then I get a whole month off. People ask if they should start their own business and I say if you can save money for the weeks you ain't workin. Lol

[Redstang88]

Well even for salary workers getting paid to do nothing for a month is not the norm. And personally I’d last 2 weeks max before go stir crazy in a desk job

[OddBeMe]

Same. Not built for desk jockey. Unless in my own house. Where I can take rdr2 breaks.

[Anonymous]

I like working overtime.
