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

Yes, but I would never expect that they will take it away from people with 20+ year experience with shooting guns under pressure.

@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.

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.

They're powerless, not stupid.

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:

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

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.

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.

I believe, that you truly fell for the fraud, that is separation between group and an individual... THERE IS NONE.

Every member of group has similar rules they live by. But if you include a rule "must obey group" and place a leader of said group, then you can control them all. It is a simple slide of hand.

They are told the situation is temporary, and the alternative is to re-enter a post-covid employment market. There are no good options on the table for them.

A bachelor with a healthy sum of savings stored up can laugh this whole situation off for months, or maybe even years. A man with a wife and children cannot.

@Nudhul @LukeAlmighty @Senpai-kun @dew_the_dew @sizzletron they do physical labor all day every day, they don't eat disgusting processed food, they don't inject themselves with poison, they live somewhere with clean air because there are almost no cars or factories, and they don't use brain-rotting computers.

the Amish are probably the healthiest people on the planet.

@noyoushutthefuckupdad @Nudhul @LukeAlmighty @Senpai-kun @dew_the_dew @sizzletron on average they re healthier but many of them are crippled from preventable diseases and they have an inbreeding problem (they're working on the latter, they started having cross-country mixers to meet other amish communities)

@Moon @LukeAlmighty @Nudhul @Senpai-kun @dew_the_dew @sizzletron smart. they reject modernity, but they still understand genetics.

@noyoushutthefuckupdad @LukeAlmighty @Nudhul @Senpai-kun @dew_the_dew @sizzletron Amish have a sophisticated system of determining what modern things they will adopt. It isn't just a blanket ban on old stuff. Things are allowed until a ruling against the thing. Their elders get together and weigh the benefit of the product/technology against its social/spiritual downsides and make a decision for the entire community. It's not perfect but it has preserved their way of life for hundreds of years and they are the overall happiest demographic in the country.

@noyoushutthefuckupdad @LukeAlmighty @Nudhul @Senpai-kun @dew_the_dew @sizzletron example: telephone is allowed to be used, but it is one shared phone in the community, can typically only make outbound calls, and it physically is placed far outside the community center. They accept modernity on their own terms.
