To be fair, I'm not defending having to beg your boss for time off.

In our world we have a simple choice: work for whoever will hire you, or starve and die on the streets. Barring random and uncontrollable acts of charity or the extremely fortunate situation in which you work for yourself.

Now we could go back and forth on where on the spectrum of "you would be working all day miserably farming if it weren't for your job" and "you should feel blessed to die of black lung in the coal mines cause at least you got to work" we both lie. But, in a society where the majority of work involves "work or die", our promises to our bosses are very short periods of indentured servitude in a very hyperbolic sense.

Sure, you can quit at any time only to find another job or be taken to jail (we could go into the criminalization of homelessness), but for most people, you're working for life.

So to say that the government (or employment contract) mandating that you're owed days of vacation is an expression of freedom is a far cry from my definition of freedom and to me seems only to entrench our status quo by throwing breadcrumbs to us to stop us from getting too agitated.

I was certainly being glib and hyperbolic tho

RFK makes a lot of good points when it comes to some of his policies. He just sprinkles in being batshit insane takes and takes them just as seriously.

It's been known by employers for a while. I worked for an event catering gig for a summer or two and talking to the bosses they were well aware that the IRS was going from one gig in the state to another. For instance the year before my boss's profession got hit, all of the places that hired golf caddies were audited all at once.

It's also just the purview of the liberal elite. So rich and far removed from society they think murdering someone makes you evil and there's never any reason to do it.

Sure, my price is making enough money on my first day there to solve world hunger.

It would be funny if everyone in NY just started dressing like this for a few days.

It's so sad, because veganism is a good force in our culture. Look at all of the vegan meat alternatives and more and more restaurants that have to have at least vegetarian options in certain areas. That wasn't a thing 20 years ago.

Vegan diets help the environment and improve health. But many vegans get this brain rot, probably a consequence of a superiority complex where they have to police everything around them. It happens in a lot of communities.

I'm not a vegan. But the idea has me eating less and less meat every year.

I mean, looking at trends of any company and the fact that Reddit is about to IPO it's only a matter of time before they ban the ability for community members to mod subreddits.
