@girlziplocked I was told I should be happy with the meritocracy because I used merit while others in my situation didn’t and they ended up poor because they didn’t work hard And the people telling me this are the privileged people who never worked hard and are rewarded anyway

@kkcombb One of the best thing about unions isn’t even pay. It’s protecting your employment from flippant decisions to terminate employees in Right To Work states. Though the increase in pay helps too…

@kristenmeinzer And do you know who those business grants for cool new entrepreneurs normally go to? The children of people who are connected to those funding the grants. It’s not 100% shady, but it’s around 92% shady.

@agraybee But calling the sandwich price a “loss leader” is reductive It was a price point that generated sales that compensated for the reduced profit margin Don’t get me wrong; $5 in 2007 is not $5 in 2024. But it wasn’t a loss leader throughout the promotion it was the price
