Zohran Mamdani is using New York City to show the world how progressive policies work for everyone. #DemocraticSocialist

contemplatingoutlander

Well, he's showing the 21st Century US how progressive policies work. The rest of the wealthy, developed nations already know how well they work. And Americans in the 20th century when FDR and LBJ were presidents understood how well they worked.

Reagan and the GOP spent 50 years brainwashing Americans into thinking that the government is the enemy, and we will all be prosperous if we give the rich tax breaks and let the money "trickle down."

And so now we have Trump, who gave the rich huge tax breaks, which led to a spiraling deficit, and Trump cutting back on Medicaid, ACA support, SNAP, and other social benefits in order to have enough moneyto fund ICE, his war, his ballroom, etc.

When are working class MAGA going to realize they've been played by decades of GOP propaganda?

when people ask me why i’m wearing a mask i have taken to giving them a stupid reason. like yeah no my nose is cold. i forgot to brush my teeth this morning. i want to talk to myself without anyone knowing. i feel insecure about my mustache. it’s to piss you specifically off.

Time to feed unprofessional managers what they’ve been dishing out for far too long.

beaniebaneenie

Couple things here, for when you do this to people:

1. if you get the “answer my call” text, NEVER ANSWER THE CALL.

They are calling you because they want to have the conversation verbally, and be able to lie later about what they said or didn’t say. Force them to continue via text or email- force them to continue the conversation in writing or not at all.

2. “Lack of 2 weeks notice is unprofessional!” or the other version, “Not providing notice is illegal!”

No it isn’t. Neither is true.

And in the US, all states except Montana are “at will” employment (though you may hear an employer refer to it as “right to work” to make it sound better, it’s the same thing). Sure, at-will employment means they can fire you without cause, BUT! It also means that you are not legally required to give a reason for quitting, or to give notice of any kind.

Is it polite to give notice when you can? Sure. Do bosses expect it? Absolutely. But that does not make you legally required to provide it.

3. The only thing I would change in the worker’s interaction here was their response when initially asked to come in.

Employee: “Hey Mark. Sorry I’m unable to cover the shift tonight because I’m studying for my exam tomorrow.”

Don’t give a reason for your lack of availability. It may be tempting to. You may feel rude if you don’t.

DON’T DO IT.

You do not owe your boss any information about what you do off the clock, and any reason you give will only ever be used against you.

Boss: “Hey I need you to cover Jasper’s shift tonight.”

Employee: “Sorry, I’m not available.”

And leave it at that.

Do not elaborate.

Do not offer additional information.

When you boss asks you to elaborate, because they will, be polite but firm. “With respect, that’s personal. I’m sorry, but I’m unavailable to cover this shift/work late/come in early/etc.”

Be a broken record- you’re unavailable. That’s the only information they need to know, and it’s the only information they have a LEGAL RIGHT to know.

Please stop giving your bosses information they don’t need to know and don’t get to have, because they’re only going to try and use it to fuck you over later.

I just googled this and… yes, it’s absolutely real.

And there are so many articles and videos and discussions. Like, the scientific community is buzzing about this.

So much research will have to be redone because the data was absolutely compromised, off by orders of magnitude, by using standard lab gloves.

The world is probably not horrifically contaminated by microplastics. Sterile laboratories, however, are contaminated by latex and nitrile gloves.

Thank God someone bothered to check.

I can't keep having the same conversations about love languages, mbti, iq, bmi, "brain fully formed at 25" and shit over and over again...

vamptits

these things exist on a spectrum from untrue to straightforwardly racist btw. so if we could retire them forever that'd be nice.

hareofhrair

“Love Languages” are just common couples therapy techniques mangled and repackaged by an unqualified homophobe. Relationships generally need all 5 love languages to be fulfilled, which is to say, everybody needs to communicate with, spend time with, and do things for their partners, and that’s got nothing to do with any special way you communicate affection.

MBTI has been proven completely ineffective at predicting anyone’s success at a particular job, and half the people who take it twice will get different results. Reputable psychologists do not recognize it, and the company that owns the rights to it uses it to scam people. People don’t adhere to strict binaries in basically anything. Very few people are going to be exclusively introverted or extroverted. It’s just astrology repackaged as pseudoscience. Shockingly enough, you can’t boil the complexity of the human experience down to a dozen Types of Guy.

The concept of IQ is flawed from the start— “intelligence” is an abstract concept that encompasses many different skills, from social intelligence to emotional intelligence to the very narrow kind of problem solving intelligence IQ tests generally measure for. It cannot predict how fast you learn, how much you know, or how logical and well read you are. It mostly measures how good you are at solving puzzles. Coincidentally, it’s also a pretty good predictor of income and education level, take a guess why. Most people’s IQ will change throughout their lives, because it’s inconsistent bullshit we’ve only held onto this long because we’re still kinda hoping we can breed the ubermensch. IQ tests and the way they attempt to categorize people are explicitly eugenicist and racist.

BMI was developed by a man known as the grandfather of eugenics, who first of all was a mathematician, not a doctor, and second never intended the formula to be used to categorize individuals. It’s intended to give a rough estimate of obesity in populations, and it’s not even good at that. It hangs around because of fatphobia and insurance companies who want it as an excuse to charge fat people more.

The study which determined people’s prefrontal cortex was still developing at 25… stopped measuring at 25. Evidence suggests your brain probably never stops developing. Stop infantilizing grown adults. This is a branch off from the larger mess of misinformation surrounding fMRIs.

If you haven’t put together what all these things have in common yet, here’s the moral of the story: STOP TRYING TO CATEGORIZE PEOPLE. STOP TRYING TO PUT PEOPLE IN A GODDAMN BIOLOGICAL HIERARCHY. EUGENICS IS BAD, AND WILL ALWAYS BE BAD, NO MATTER WHO’S DOING IT.

nothorses

Learning styles as well btw.

This was something we read about in my undergrad teacher prep program because it is such a prevalent myth, and it encourages people to think of people as having these psychologically and biologically essentialist, immutable traits-- that everyone can be sorted and categorized, that those categories tell you something about them (and it's therefore safe or even a good practice to make certain assumptions about them), and that those categories are predetermined and inflexible.

Even a less rigid/extreme belief in these ideas is harmful; teachers in particular waste a lot of time teaching some kids in the particular ways they've been determined to need, rather than just teaching in a variety of ways to all of their students, all of whom likely benefit from having all of those options available. And again, thinking of people as categorizable like this just encourages folks to make assumptions about one another.

working at a grocery store this is something i was so worried would happen, i cant stop someone from trying to feed themselves.

but it literally hasn't happened. people steal fried chicken and pack steaks into a duffel bag. or they have me write on cakes for their coworkers birthday and run out the door with it. they eat chicken and dump the bones on a shelf they pay for the rest of their "groceries".

i've never once seen anyone steal bread, or fruit, or vegetables, or cold chicken

crabs-in-a-trench-coat

Same

We have free purified water but no they steal soda

anarchistmemedistro

so you’re saying it people are trying to feed themselves

anarchopuppy

How dare poor people eat things they enjoy rather than bland staples, the only thing they deserve

anarchopuppy

A little disappointed that this didn't become a site-wide week-long discourse topic/meme fodder because it's a discussion we're way overdue to have

Like, let's set aside the practical concerns, like how "unhealthy" food has more calories while taking up less bag space, people can't survive on nothing but bread and water, many poor communities are food deserts where fresh food isn't even available to steal, and many people (including the explicitly unhoused man in the meme) don't have a way to prepare frozen chicken. Let's set all that aside, because poor people aren't required to justify every single action to you specifically

Instead let's talk about the sheer undisguised hatred of the poor on display here. "The fried food at the grocery store is for me, because I'm a good special boy with money, if the filthy poors want to steal they can steal the dried gruel powder because that's all they're good enough for. Or they can have meat, I suppose, but only if it's frozen meat that they'll have to go heat up themselves to prove to me that they've earned it. And make sure they grab some raw vegetables that they'll have to chop and cook themselves too, that'll be a good use of their bountiful time and energy. If they wanted not to be miserable, they should have tried not being poor, like me!"

There is literally no justification for this shit. If you believe that stealing bread from a chain grocery store is a justified act that hurts no one, why the fuck would you feel different about steak? Why are you even thinking about this shit? Why are you sitting around fuming at the thought of poor people having anything that makes life worth living? What does it fucking matter to you?

How can you be heartless enough to look at a society where people have to steal in order to feed themselves and their families, and your biggest concern is about policing what they steal?

"They only steal the expensive stuff, then they go and PAY for the cheap stuff???"

Gee I wonder why that would be...

transandrogyny--turtlebug

I wonder why you’ve never seen someone with no house steal raw chicken before. There are just some mysteries that can truly never be solved

ashbelero

For the record, I was homeless for a while - or at least, I lived in a motel by the highway. And luckily I had access to a mini fridge - and it was the kind of motel where people just *lived*, which I discovered when they served Thanksgiving dinner in the lobby to everyone and asked us if we’d like to come down for it. (I cried. A lot.)

That mini fridge was a miracle, but I didn’t have anything like a hot plate or a way to prepare food - just a pot for coffee/hot water. Mostly what I ate was peanut butter and jam sammiches, apples, and lunch meat and cheese if I could get it, because it was expensive. I never got to the point of stealing… but it wasn’t because I thought I was too good to steal. The smell of the fried chicken in the grocery store deli was murder. I just didn’t think I could get away with it.

If I didn’t have that mini fridge or a way to keep my food cold and safe… yeah, I’d probably be stealing that fucking chicken.

So as a retail worker who has five years of experience, I'd like to put my two cents in. While most people advocate stealing if you can't buy food(which I do understand and completely empathize with), you must remember that you aren't just stealing from the corporation, you are in fact stealing from the employees themselves. So many times I've asked for overtime and have been denied it bc our shrink is too high. Ever wonder why there aren't enough cashiers? Cutting hours bc we need to recoup on our shrink. Also, on another note, the things I see people usually steal are high value electronics(like $70 fans, tvs, earbuds), makeup, and like $50+ toys. So while I empathize, please don't steal. You are literally taking money out of employees paychecks, and depending on the corporation itself, you could actually get them fired for not catching when people steal.

anarchistmemedistro

actually very easy to believe some people are shitty

zwoelffarben

@flower884 and everyone else in retail, I'm sorry, but you're misassigning blame here.

The people stealing from your corporate overlords aren't the ones choosing to understaff your workplace, cut your hours, pay you empoverishing wages much less than true value of your labor, nor fire you because they think the store's shrink is too large: Your corporate overlords are the ones doing that and they blaming John val John hoping you and everyone else believes them so you don't organize and demand concessions: and you've swallowed that pill like a potassum supository.

You've been in retail for five years; do some fucking organizing, form a union, fuck your boss's wife, and don't be the snitch that gets John 6 years hard labor for stealing some bread to feed his family.

It's not that hard*, just do what Chris Smalls do: he led a win against Amazon. FUCKING Amazon. Successfully unionizing, or even failing to unionize but scaring the shit out of the corporate overlords that you might succeed will have a lot larger, more positive effect on your material conditions than bitching on the internet about poor people wanting necessary or nice things they can't comfortably afford.

*Don't misunderstand me, it's hard work, organizing. Chris Smalls fought for over two years and a wrongful termination to acheive the win for fellows, but you'll more likely to find success in unionizing even against the most notorious union buster than you are to baulk even one person from theft of either necesity or pleasure on the basis of, in my opinion, a critically flawed moral argument**.

**I view the so-called property rights of corporations as illegitimate***, so 'stealing from a store' is to me morally nonsensical even as I'm forced to recognize its legal reality. The point of this footnote being that I don't think there is anything morally wrong with freely taking what ought be freely available to you, and you'd never convince me against 'shoplifting' using a moral argument, least of all the consequencialist one you're making because, as previously stated, you're misassigning blame. Again, unionize and fuck your boss's wife, yeah?

***As a property abolitionist, I also view a lot of 'property rights of individuals' as illegitimate too, but that's outside the scope of this discussion.

Also; what? It's very sweet, actually, to steal a cake for your coworker 💖

Also-also, corporations have a budget explicitly to handle stolen product. All the poor people stealing food so they can not starve are not running them dry to the point that they have to fire employees. If they were at that point, they would already be shutting down so they didn't go bankrupt.

Tl;dr:

roach-works

i worked at ross dress for less for a year or two. they checked our bags at the end of every shift. a girl was fired for allegedly stealing some makeup.

they made us do half an hour of cleanup after we’d all clocked out or we’d be penalized for not ‘clocking out on time’ but also ‘not finishing facing’. half an hour of work at minimum wage was about 3$, multiplied by 5-8 employees per shift, multiplied by about three shifts. per year. forever.

they’d hammer on and on and ON at us about loss prevention and shrinkage, while skimming off 45$-72$ from their own employees in wage theft. every day. plus the hours of free work managers put in. but whenever we were denied raises or bonuses or pizza rewards or whatever it was always because of ‘all the shrinkage this quarter’ and they’d blame thieves, for their shitty secondhand crap they bought in huge remaindered job lots anyway.

my manager cried in her office once, for a company that extracted hundreds of dollars worth of free work off its employees every month, and then blamed the poor for our abuse.

you’re not being overworked and underpaid because your grocery chain is being robbed blind by filthy savages and fucking walmart or wherever needs to pinch some pennies. your bosses are fucking you over specifically because they can.

anarchistmemedistro

anarcho-catboyism

As a retail worker, if you blame other poor people or homeless people for your low wages, you're a fucking bootlicker riddled with propaganda.

A corporation is not a person, the people stealing even expensive things are living, breathing people.

You want to know why people steal non-food items? Because we live in a society that operates on profit. Electronics like TVs and Headphones, expensive jewelry, shitty brand expensive clothing, etc. Are all valuable items that can be sold. That money can go to fresh meals, phone bills, campsite fees or hotel fees, or a common one is Fines, because it's rare to be homeless and not have a cop cite you some bullshit, hundred dollar violation for something like sleeping on a bench, or your car having a missing brake light, and thats if you're lucky and said cop doesn't beat you or steal what you have on you.

Corporations are not people. Corporations are a infinite money glitch cycle so some rich fucks can horde money like fucking Smaug and convince the employees that oh we could pay more if Homeless Susan didn't steal that $25 package of diapers.

If you are a retail worker, you are closer to being that homeless person stealing a bucket of security cameras than to even your District Manager, and yet the rich have you convinced that you are somehow better than your fellow humans.

As a retail worker, you are not allowed to be punished if someone steals in front of you and you don't stop it. In fact, and actual retail workers will tell you this, we are advised to literally let people walk out because if we jump in we could open the Store up for lawsuits or workman's comp claims, so they'd rather eat the shoplift than pay for the medical bills of an employee who got hurt.

And even if you get a talk down from your manager, I'd say that's better than living with yourself knowing you just helped the Cops arrest a starving person who was just trying to get some food, clothes, or money so they could live another day.

Corporations aren't humans, they have no loyalty. That homeless person who just stole a flat-screen is more likely to give you support if you can't pay your rent and find yourself evicted, than a Corporation. A Corporation will not show you the loyalty you show it, a Corporation will throw you on your ass if your performance suffers due to illness, disaster, grief, disability etc. Because a Corporation is. Not. Human. And they will not be there when you fall.

Don't let the King convince you that the peasants are holding him back from paying you better. The only thing holding him back is greed. You will never see a share of his gold that you protect so loyally.

fuck it guess i'll throw my hat in the ring

i work at autozone, and i'm assigned to part sales, which means i'm almost always at a register at the very front of the store. sometimes i'll do other jobs when it's needed, but for the most part, i am at a register, so i get to look at everyone entering and leaving the store. which means that if anybody steals anything, i get to see that, too. autozone of course doesn't sell food, apart from some snacks up by checkout, so anything that people do steal are tools or car parts or fluid.

and when i see somebody pocket a pack of headlights, or a wrench, or a bottle of brake fluid?

i keep my fucking mouth shut instead of being a class traitor.

seriously, nobody WANTS to steal things, more accurately nobody wants to be in the position where they have to steal things. we don't even sell stuff people need to live, and i still shut up about it, because i don't know what they're going through. especially because while you don't need to to fix your car to survive, you do need it to have a half decent existence out here, and if it's got an out headlight you're gonna get pulled over by the state funded terrorist group patrolling the streets and at best they'll suck away half your paycheck in fines, at worst they'll just shoot you dead on the spot when you reach for your id.

"well then don't drive it!"

they need to get to work, don't they? what happened to getting a job?

"well then walk to work!"

lol, lmao. it gets to -3 fahrenheit in the winters here and sometimes it'll rain so hard the sidewalk floods, and in the summer you'll fry like an egg.

"well then bike to work!"

again, unsheltered

"well, take public transit!"

don't have any

"well what about the employees when they steal?"

most places don't dock hours for shrink, if they do, fuck em, unionize.

also, back to the topic of food theft, if you think people should only steal fucking gruel and oats, go fuck yourself. being against people who can't afford it taking the stuff that's actually half enjoyable to eat is the exact same shit as telling poor people who have a few luxuries to just sell them; you think enjoying life is something you should only be allowed to do if you can afford it, just fucking say that. people will take soda and prepacked food for the same reason they won't sell their playstation for that food, it's fucking depressing to live with the bare minimum.

No fuck the small businesses. They're some of the worst offenders because Walmart has people actively watching for blatantly illegal behavior. Small business owners think they're too small for it to matter.

Ma and pop stores are the worst about issues like understaffing, wage theft, overworking, and overpaying because they have to compete with places that out price them like Walmart. The small business owner I currently work for is every bit as selfish as Jeff Bezos. He just operates close enough that the community thinks he's different.

So hi I'm the pronoun having liberal living off of government aid that all the conservatives hate. I make less than $1000 a month with my disability income and food stamps combined and have noticed first hand something that no one has brought up.

That fried chicken that everyone keeps bringing up, as well as any hot food items at grocery stores, they cannot be purchased with food stamps.

Just a couple months ago I was really struggling. I had ~$20 in my bank account, ~$20 in my EBT account, my fridge was empty and a few weeks to go before I would get paid next. So I'm looking online for coupons and deals and doing the math to see what I can get for cheap that will last me until the first of the month. That's when I remember the local grocery store has a cheap chicken deal where I can get an 8 piece for $7. I figure that with some deli sides it will be plenty to fill my fridge and I can keep the money in my bank account for gas and other necessities. Only for my EBT card to be denied at the register.

You know what else you can't get on food stamps?

•tampons/pads

•paper towels

•toilet paper

•pet food

•medicine/vitamins

•ANY FOOD THAT IS 'HOT' AT POINT OF SALE (taken straight from the USDA website)

So yeah of course those are going to be things that are stolen. Because food stamps doesn't cover everything people need on the daily.
