      Why the fuck are there jobs that just get to ignore overtime laws. It’s fucking insanity and I’ve literally never heard an argument for why that shouldn’t be insanely illegal

        Because employees should get to enjoy the PERSONAL FREEDOMS™️©️®️ of being able to choose between different contracts to find one that's right for them! You don't hate PERSONAL FREEDOMS™️©️®️ do you? :porky-happy:

        laws are for letting rich people get away with oppressing the weak consequence free and undermining revolts. there, argument for why its legal.

        The only benefit of salaried is you typically don't have to punch the clock so time theft is easy as hell but every other part sucks. I get flown around the country all the time and the team I work with is hourly and gets OT for every hour they are out of state past 40 a week, be that when they are working or when we are getting plastered at the hotel bar. I get my base salary....

          Satire doesn't work if people don't grasp what's being mocked. You'd just be contributing to the madness.

              Better off using real stories from leftist countries framed in the same manner.

              This little boy begged for someone to free his father from the torturous thugs of Cuban President Batista when a young lawyer came to his aid...

              Just be sure you've organized enough people to upvote the post, downvote the trolls, and keep the comments filled with positive, verifiable facts and you've got an agitprop group in the making.

                  This could actually make a really good insta or tiktok thing that could then be used for propagating to other sites like reddit and imgur, if you're really interested in doing it...

                  One of the things we need is more leftist content that scratches the itch of libs for their virtue signaling and optimism addiction so we can feed them the juicy revolutionary history they've been blinded to.

                  does this have groups/private threads, or are we going to matrix or signal or something?
