I've officially spent one whole year working in a factory. I've had dozens of jobs and never managed to stay in one longer than 6 or 7 months. All for various reasons. Hating the job generallly, depression, wages suck, boss is a count, etc etc etc. This is the second job I've had in a factory and the first job I have ever had where I am actually producing goods for society.

I'm actually proud of the work I do even if I am being heavily exploited by having my life force and time stolen from me.it feels good to actually make something for society. It feels good to work at a job for a year. To have stable employment and decent wages.

It's tragic that reality is not like this for most people. AMA

Physically demanding jobs can be fun as fuck. I did landscaping one summer right after college. Had an amazing time and got pretty toned.

It's the only job I consider harder than the job I have now. We had to move a pallet of grass covered in ants once with no gloves in the pouring rain.

Yes, you feel like you are wasting your time and are useless to the society most of the time with an office job, ngl. But having free time and getting payed for it, compensates a bit those feelings.
I studying at the same time to have a degree and after that, I'll try to do something useful with my life. It gets boring over time when nothing changes if you work for 8 hours, or if you play games and check your mails every 15 minutes to ignore them for the day if it's not going to get you in trouble. I work for a big company, I don't care if they make money or no, but at the same time everyone likes to feel useful and not waste 80% of your life in acting like you are busy.

what does that mean ?
a) most types of employment are about doing malicious advertisement.
b) most employment descriptions create a false impression about the type of labor they entail.

Home ownership isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. Mortgage, property taxes, HOA fees, assessments, closing costs, homeowner’s insurance, maintenance, utilities, noisy neighbors, etc. can all take a toll. Plus it’s an asset that creditors such as credit card companies can take out a judgment against in case of default.

Thats a fair point but theres still alot of bad actors.

Alot of lumpenproles, at least where Ivlive, they came from well off homes but they splurged.
They wasted away their prime on booze, drugs, and fights.
And now they think the world owes them something just because they were the last generation grow up before the Internet.


Byt ok, if proles cannot be blamed why do adults blame children for the state if academia?

the much bigger problem is the bad system

If you have a system that screws people over, it tends to attempt to demonize it's victims. If you partake in this praxis, you'll just making me think you're part of the perpetrators. People are what they are, you have to make the system fit the people, otherwise the system is wrong.

I'm sorry but those divisions don't make a lot of sense. It's usually the rulers vs the masses.

There is a kernel of truth in this sentiment.
We probably should invert some of the evaluations mechanic in education.
For example we could test explanations for their potential to enable children to learn and understand, rather than doing it the other way around.

If true, that piss man should be fired from the economy for such inefficiency in running business & get all his stuff redistributed to the demos who's running this cuntry.
Imagine ever wasting your time on shitty proles when every respectable citizen knows that the responsibility of supporting the ideology of class society is on the slaves themselves, not on their natural masters.

He is a thespian operative (a real life actor) portraying himself as a blue collar tradesperson inclined. Mike Rowe has powerful connections with Koch Industries to con people into the trades. I am not against the trades and I appreciate trade workers & was one myself, but Rowe is misrepresenting the benefits therefore. In certain blue collar trades, you may never get to retire because of occupational induced illnesses leading to premature death and disability.

Not sure I understand your point. To clarify I'm saying that workers got a huge concession of being able to work from anywhere in the world and not spend time or money commuting. That's a really big win! And they didn't fight at all to keep it. Pathetic.

How would they fight to keep it ? Create a picket-line and protest for turning the video-call software back on ? I don't see any potential in trying to make corporate bureaucracy go back to working from home. I don't see any hope you can convince big organizations to give up on having a special place/building, or just change them selves in general.

The potential benefit for workers is that they can create a coop even if they lack the capital to rent/buy office space. I see this as a mechanism for making boot-strapping easier, as in lowering the bar to entry. Like something people do in the beginning, to reduce costs.

So instead of seeking to change existing organizations, the goal should be creating new organizations, that's where this technology has it's strong points.

>In a socialist system people would be payed to gain skill and experience
Just 50 years ago, it was normal to work your entire life for the same company so it was not a problem for them to pay, even sometime a lot of money to train their workers.

I wouldn't call that socialism.

I guess that the difference is that in a socialist system it's worth it to try to up-skill the entire population, not just workers of specific companies. Because even 50 years ago, many workers never got the opportunity to get skill training, let alone get payed for the effort.

From the perspective of the entire economy it's of course well worth it to have a population that is as skilled as they can be. But the capitalist class clearly has concluded that they prefer the opposite, because what they did was cause massive de-skilling.

Socialism is when the government-owned enterprise pays you stuff for selling your work hours by the wagie contract you signed with the appointed manager of that enterprise.

Whenever you don't have a job, you are ostracized from society. You literally don't exist.
Why are people like this? Working is fucking miserable.
>>

 No.412

This is such a a spoiled and entitled additude. Working sucks, but, it probably isn't the fact you don't have a job that you are ostracized it's probably the fact you are a whiny spoiled brat about work on general. Working generally does suck but to enjoy a modern existence we must do labor to survive and sustain ourselves. It would be nice to not have a parasitical class of leeching sucking the blood from ounlive force/labor but even with out that some work will need to be done. Most people flip burgers and get very little from such work, but, ask anyone working in an actual factory or some type of production facilities and you will discover they are quite happy.
