Interesting follow: Reddit "Antiwork" thread
Rownesheck commented this morning on a story from Reddit's Antiwork thread concerning a large party of Greg Abbott sycophants stiffing a waitress for a tip, for a party of 22! https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1078&pid=63629
The Reddit antiwork thread is a fascinating follow--an ongoing dialogue about how work has become unworkable. https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/
In my little town in Oregon, Walmart has a sign out front trying to hire for about 40 different positions; the shelves are bare, and the parking lot contains a bunch of shipping containers of unloaded goods. They don't have enough people to unload the containers. All the help are either retirees or high school students who already live here.
There is no housing left for new people to come into the community to fill those jobs. We have a town population of about 11,000, with 1200 vacational rental dwellings. Some of the highest paid nonprofessional jobs in town are cleaning the rentals ($23/hour), but even the cleaners can't find an affordable place to live.
We may be at a tipping point in capitalism. It's just not working for most of the working class.
