A Boring Dystopia

This is literally what "black excellence" is, but calling it out makes you (internally) racist, a pick me for the nazis, or a black person who is white on the inside.

This post is inspirational and any problem you have with it is racially motivated.

The crowd clearly agrees with you on that, but many people are able to continue thinking even after they feel outrage.

Everyone needs to understand things are only still this absurd because we allow a small percentage of people to live better than any kings from the past ever lived off the backs of the rest of us. Hording the vast majority of our wealth.

We absolutely have the means to prevent people from having to take their kids to fucking work with them but we choose to let billionaires do things like dismantle our government and destroy our international relations instead.

This gives me the same vibe as all those "feelgood" stories about communities coming together to pay for some valued member's back surgery or cancer treatment or something.

It's nice people do that, but what about people that are less liked, and how is it that we have so much wealth going around, and yet extremely basic things like healthcare are still factors people need to concern themselves with being able to afford?

Nope

but for many (and we know who) your misery cancels out THEIR misery.

as long has YOU are suffering more than they.....They win. which is why "Owning the Libs" is to them desirable. and a sufficient reason for self harming behavior.

it is an insane point of view....but there you go.

No such thing as agency at fast food jobs here. You call out and your shift either works short or calls in someone else who is supposed to be off. Having 0 labor protections is amazing.

The thing is, this is a situation where there was no village. She’s her own village, working and taking care of her kid simultaneously. “It takes a village” would mean someone else watched her kid without question because she needed someone. So this is dumb on a lot of levels.

I mean, it's McDonald's. The manager doesn't have the ability to pay her a living wage. The manager is a wage slave as well, or even worse on salary while having to cover so many shifts they're barely averaging minimum wage themselves.

No, the person you're mad at is the franchise owner.

That may be true, but you gotta understand something, mate: this post was written by the village idiot.

Let's be realistic, her manager didn't have the authority to pay her if she couldn't make it in and she needed the money.

As fucked as it is, they may have actually been helping to the best of their ability. The 'manager' may make $1.50 more per hour.

I really don't want to have to play nice to my colleagues children more than I have to. No offence, but I don't work to hang around with kids.

Yeah but not busy restaurant with hot liquids and surfaces and people rushing around and angry customers yelling.

I'm of the opposite opinion. Maxing out spending time with mom and dad means less healthy social interactions and growth for your child. I want them to have a separation where they have a teacher, a class and friends, and not feel they can run to me or are distracted by me.

The children I've seen who were raised at home are miles behind our child in terms if development.

Bringing a child to work seems worse - they can't play with toys or engage in what they want at all anymore. They'd be subjected fk whatever the mom and dad have to do. They also have no friends or structured learning.

The daycares we've used have been fantastic and care a lot about teaching our child in many ways they wouldn't otherwise have.
