time to FIRE myself up @fireyfemme - Tumblr Blog

the fucked up thing about job interviews is that everybody Knows that youre just there because you need money to stay alive, everyone Knows that the companys interests are in your mind secondary at best to you having a home and not starving, but they still need to hear you beg and tell them how much The Company means to you and how great an opportunity it is to work for them its so masturbatory

Lattes get a bad rap in personal finance. But what if a latte is worth the cost? Here's why I spend $800 a year on lattes.

“i do not dream of labor” yes u do. labor is fulfilling. u dream of a world where ur labor isnt exploited and its that or starvation. i guarantee u dream of labor. labor is a necessity and in and of itself is a good thing.

if u dream of having a garden, of painting murals, cooking or baking for people, researching in a lab, or writing stories, u dream of labor. which is good! we all jus hate having our labor exploited and being underpaid for the value of our work. nobody wants to just sit at home and do NOTHING as quarantine proved! in and of itself labor is fulfilling and contributes to the betterment and advancement of society, too many people are just barred by arbitrary divides (class, education) and unable to perform labor they’d be best suited for, or that type of labor (arts, service industry) is undervalued and underpaid.

The PBO report explains a new model for understanding the distribution of wealth in Canada and exposes that the top 1 percent of families in Canada own more than 25% of the wealth, while the bottom 40 percent share just over 1 percent.

In light of a newly released report by the Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO), NDP Critic for the Treasury Board, Matthew Green (Hamilton Centre) is calling on the federal government to implement a wealth tax on Canada’s top 1 percent.

“The new PBO analysis clearly shows that the concentration of wealth by the top 1 percent is an even bigger issue than previous government reports had been letting on and it appears there was an intentional under reporting of wealth to keep Canadians in the dark,” said Green. “When Canadian Business magazine has a better understanding of individual wealth and how it’s distributed in this country than the federal government does, we have a big problem.”

The PBO report explains a new model for understanding the distribution of wealth in Canada and exposes that the top 1 percent of families in Canada own more than 25% of the wealth, while the bottom 40 percent share just over 1 percent.

“The amassing of wealth by the top 1 percent of this country is at an extreme level. It’s absolutely clear, the rich are not paying their fair share. We will never achieve justice and equality if we allow this to continue” said Green. “The need for a wealth tax has never been more obvious. Especially at a time when there are calls to cut off critical support for those who are in most need because of the cost, the federal government needs to take action to collect more from the ultra-wealthy.”

daily reminder that there is absolutely nothing normal about being expected to waste a majority of your life at a corporation to survive instead of indulging in better life experiences ✨

In the 1960s it was a common speculation that by 1980 the typical work week would consist of 4 days. And by the year 2000 we’d be working no more than 3 days a week.

Because of computerization, automation, and better efficiencies in workflow.

Guess what happened instead?

Someone wrote an article about this!

Who could have possibly foreseen that organizing the entire service economy around low-wage workers without sick leave or reliable access to a doctor might someday backfire.

“admit”

like they made the deliberate choice to go in, or even HAD the choice not to. most people these days are three missed paychecks away from homelessness

Hey. LIVING COSTS MONEY! How about giving more money to the companies that employ me and MAYBE I MIGHT BE OK

This is such a funny thing to me because in Thai culture, it’s completely normal to live with your parents when you’re an adult. In fact, most people live in their family home until they’re married ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Saaaame in Pakistan dude and being abroad for grad school is really fucking me up I am not built to be even slightly independent 😂

In Western culture (including America!) it was completely normal for people to live with their parents in adulthood–sometimes until they married, sometimes longer. In America, that changed (for men) in the 1940s and 50s, when it was really really easy for an 18 year old to get a good job that paid more than enough to live a comfortable life on, or to afford college which would then practically guarantee you an even better-paying job. Women joined the trend of moving out at 18 in the 1960s and 70s.

And now those jobs don’t exist, or are few and far between, and guess what! People are living with their parents again. But that 70-year span was just long enough that it fell out of common memory, and now people are seen as “failures” because the economics have changed.

A very great deal of Western culture, ESPECIALLY America, is actually still based on a memory of the 40′s and 50′s as the baseline of normalcy despite them being a total fluke at the time. World War II and McCarthyism created a massive shift towards rabid patriotism, Christian fundamentalism and the ideal of the “nuclear family” that resembled nothing before it and we’re still recovering from as the majority of our most powerful politicians are old enough that this period of sudden fanaticism is their “nostalgic good old days” and the way they think things are “supposed to be.”
