The pension was the most poisoned pill the white man ever took.

@Senpai-kun @sizzletron@noagendasocial.com
Yes, but I would never expect that they will take it away from people with 20+ year experience with shooting guns under pressure.

@LukeAlmighty @Senpai-kun @sizzletron wait until the assets in the funds that hold their pensions shit the bed

@dew_the_dew @sizzletron@noagendasocial.com @Senpai-kun
That happened literaly the year the entire concept was created. They just pay by printing more.

@LukeAlmighty @sizzletron @Senpai-kun it is all going into stonks but we are also looking at another 2008 scenario. the pension at the end of the rainbow is the only thing keeping a lot of the police/military in line. if the economy shits the bed they are free agents again.

Do not forget sunken cost fallacy. That beast will drive some people insane...

@dew_the_dew @sizzletron@noagendasocial.com @Senpai-kun
I saw people work after not being paid, because they were "promissed pay", and it would be sunken cost to leave.

Humans are stupid that way.

@Senpai-kun @sizzletron@noagendasocial.com @dew_the_dew
No, they are stupid.

To continue to work is to provide something for nothing. There is NOTHING keeping them there.

And if they turn their back, most enployers are smart enough to suddenly find the cash to pay them anyway.

They lost respect for themselves to even negotiate their own terms.

Oh... I don't know what country you live in, but do you REEEELY want to tell me, that there are legal implications of leaving an unpaid job? :alexjonessmile:

@LukeAlmighty @sizzletron @dew_the_dew

More specifically workers have no collective bargaining power. The power imbalance between employer and employee is lopsided and cannot be fixed individually.

@Senpai-kun @sizzletron@noagendasocial.com @dew_the_dew
Fuck that commie noise.

One man leaving is more power then you can fathem.

When one leaves for not getting paid, other will consider the same. And when more leave, the employer is fucked.

And even when just you leave, you are no longer a slave.

@LukeAlmighty @sizzletron @dew_the_dew

Going Galt is not a threat to employers. People who have families need incomes. Employers fear unions, not lone wolves vanishing off into the woods.

You said it....

They jave families to feed. Working for free won't do that. How can you even try to reframe the simplest trade in the world?
2 options:
Work + no pay
or
Looking for work that will pay

They ARE stupid.

@LukeAlmighty @sizzletron @dew_the_dew

No, they are under duress. There is not enough economic mobility to be sure that you can quit your job like a boomer and pick up a new one on the way home. They are being told they cannot be paid in the moment, not indefinitely.

Rather than focus your ire on the abused employee, you should be screaming for the blood of the employer who is somehow able to abuse his employees in this way.
