The Tragic Story of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire.

The tragic loss of life here is what cause much of the Labor reform in the US. 

The men who owned the factory made a profit off of this. Sounds like something that would happen today doesn’t it.

My issue with company commercials marketing that they care during this pandemic - they don't really care about employees, just money.

They will put out marketing commercials claiming they care about society, the people, and this pandemic. They got stimulus money and the people up top got "hazard pay" and bonuses while their frontline workers, the ones actually taking risks that don't have health insurance. It's because of their shitty wages and corporations doing their best not to truly offer good health insurance. They claim they care about the people, "now doing delievers, contactless payments, and carry out because we care about people!" Meanwhile the ones actually working are subjected to hundreds of customers, some refusing to wear masks, and required to show up because they know they cant live without pay and will starve without the hours. They know they can just "replace these people" and don't care if they get sick. If they really cared about our health, they would have provided real insurance and good hours for the insurance to hold up or qualitfy. The shitty thing is they tell you that you're part time and then ram hours down your throat so health insurance isn't truly what it should be. They also don't give any hazard pay or bonuses to the ones having to weave between tables or clean up after others. The ones dealing with hundreds of people. The money they got, that they could've survived without, probably went into the pockets of the ones working from home or towards those bullshit ads claiming they care. The truth is they only care about the greed or else they would've at least offered temporary pay raises and deemed it hazard pay. They don't give a shit about their employees but make dumbass commercials calling them heroes or thanking them without any real meaning behind it. When covid ends and we fight for higher wages again, they will pretend like we were never essential and this never happened.

Sign the Petition

Walmart CEO Doug McMillon: Walmart: it's time for paid leave equality

When Walmart agreed to expand their paid family leave policy, they left out part-time associates like April Law. In November, Walmart's shares surged to an all-time high and the company generated nearly $500 billion in revenue. Sign April's petition if you agree Walmart can afford to offer paid family leave to all employees.

Hey i wonder when companies are gonna put advertisments into books and novels like its a physical website or a newspaper.

Like just RIGHT in the text or between chapters.

Not just: "here's some other books by us, the publisher or by this author" at the end of the whole thing but completely unrelated shit like a phone or a vacuum cleaner. The newest kitched gadjet.

Put that into yall distopian nightmare scenarios.

I can’t be the only one who doesn’t like Oreos anymore.

For the past I do not know how long every time I bring up to people that any kind of food that is generally loved has changed their recipe slightly so now it tastes different they look at me like I’m crazy.

The primary example I have of this is of course Oreos (Milk’s favorite cookie). I cannot locate the exact moment I realized Oreo quality has kind of fallen off since my concept of time was stolen from me but it must’ve been at least a year or two ago.

Ever since I bit into an Oreo and immediately threw the package away thinking they’d gone bad only to taste the exact same crusty, watered down, half-assed product. I used to absolutely adore Oreo and I know it’s because they’re having to cut costs so Mr. Oreo can buy a new Oreomobile for his Oreo mistress but goddamn I was fine with corporate greed destroying the planet but when it comes to my childhood cookie I draw the line.

My husband and I are trying pretty desperately to get to Australia (his home country).

Between the callousness of the Australian Government and the greed of the airlines, it’s proving difficult.

What better way to tell your customers you don't care about them than giving them a coupon to buy more off your product which literally kills them slowly. Great job, Cigarette Companies. Truly proving for years that the fucks you give for your customers is entirely limited to their wallets.
