          It was an eye opener on just how incredibly selfish the whole ideology is. If even the THOUGHT of alturism is seen as something to be punished?

            Ayn rand died collecting Social Security and Medicaid benefits. Keep that in mind. The belief in conservative ism is an exercise in narcissistic projection. The most “staunch” conservatives are the worst offenders. Bullies, narcissists, sociopaths. It’s a pretty good indicator as to why anything they think or believe is absolute unrelenting bullshit.

            It really helped me that I read some history and thought about it for more than five minutes. Ayn Rand, she is like the idea of selling your house before it goes under the sea due to climate change, makes sense if you don’t add the real world context back into it. A conclusion can follow logically from its premise and assumptions, but that does not ensure the inputs were correct.

            I like to ask Libertarians, when I bump into them, what happened between some date to a year of your choosing that prevented the market from developing its own solution.

        Also they don’t get taught critical thinking skills to understand why things are the way they are and easier to manipulate. That said my understanding of the general US education system is that it doesn’t teach that (or much of it) anyways.

          Easier to manipulate, yes.

          The US education system isn’t monolithic. There are lots of good public education systems in the US. It wouldn’t be the tech and economic powerhouse it is today (was yesterday?) if it didn’t have generally good public education. Part of the reason some people think “the system” is bad is because their particular state/county/district/school is bad.

    That guaranteed meal break should be extended, not rolled back. After 4 hours every worker should have a 30 minute break to eat. It’s not just humane, it’s common sense that fed people work better. Even if you exclude the 30 minutes from their hours, which I bet was already what was going on.

      30 minute PAID break. The break lets them be more productive. The pay helps them be less stressed.

      It’s good policy that helps the employers, even the ones too dumb to know it.

            Hi there! You did do the wrong one ;) reins refers to the item that is used to guide horses and the like, and so “reining something/someone in” is the correct term. Reign means to rule over.

          To add to the previous comment, no.

          Any benefits above slavery have been hard-fought, and hard-won for nearly a century. Hell, even the concept of a “weekend“ didn’t exist until union workers protested to the point where they demanded two days off every week.

          Never forget: anything you have, anything you enjoy, anything that makes your life better… Thousands and, possibly, hundreds of thousands of people had to fight (and die) for decades before they even got a fraction of what we have now. And it’s always the fascist that wanna take it away.

          No. Or any other kind of break. Also benefits are determined by part time vs full time, which itself is generally determined be working either less than 40 hours a week, or 40+. In other words part time is generally 39.99999 hours a week.

              Oh i would believe them. I’m a federal employee (for now), we’re considered to have “great benefits” that are actually less than the bare minimum in many first world countries; we also get less pay (at least in IT) compared to private sector to “justify” these benefits. The benefits they are constantly chipping away it while also taking more out of our paychecks each year with raises below actual cost of living and inflation.

                In Canada the federal government ends up having to hire contractors for anything IT related because the pay is crap when on the inside, in the end it costs more than just increasing IT’s pay to be somewhat competitive

              Yeah, but your social safety nets are strong, and rich people and companies are highly taxed in order to fund those social safety nets. That makes any random worker far more motivated to go and do their job than if they were getting absolutely ass-fucked in 1 trillion different ways every hour of every day, like they are in the United States — purely in the name of prophet –, all while the propaganda tries to convince them and everyone else that’s because they are “weak“.

              I suddenly have no difficulty understanding why the red October revolutionist didn’t try to “rehabilitate” the imperials, and just murdered the fucking a lot of them.

          California does. Guaranteed 10 min break every two hours, and guaranteed 30 min unpaid lunch if you work over 6 hours, mandatory overtime after 10 hours, and a second 30 min meal break if working over 12 hours. Although, many bosses love to pretend those 10 minute breaks don’t exist (especially in construction).
