This was inspired after seeing the original article posted here. It's pretty basic stuff for this community but you never know.
damn if only there was a jobs pipeline that carried jobs through a big tube to Germany
(to be clear I am not trying to say NordStream 2 is the fundamental cause of all of this, it's a symptom with a big impact. I just think it's just really blatant the memory hole it is placed in by outlets like AFP)
: “Hey poors! I need more work done! Come in sick!”
: “please sir…..just one job….”
: “Sorry kiddo, can’t help ya. I’m all set for workers!”How do both of these problems exist? (I know why, porky wants more labor done out of the ever-shrinking labor force so he can get it for free...but I don't want to hear about the economy receeding. It's porky's fault for refusing to put people to work.)
Not to mention that the German labor market is plagued by "mini jobs", where they won't give you over a certain amount of hours a week, and they don't have to give you benefits. But sure, the obviously overworked workers getting sick is a ploy to slow down the economy.
What's extra funny is that even capitalist economics will tell you that capital cannot be an all take and no give deal, no matter how much it wants to.
Income inequality is bad for the economy, and as much as the porks like to think that they'll take on doing all the consuming...they're too miserly to actually spend money that they would rather sit on and do nothing with.
Unemployment is bad for the economy and human health....hard to survive when no one wants to provide you with a means of survival. I shit you not, I tried using a treat printer for job advice and they started telling me to consider "alternative lifestyles", even the treat printer is too intellectually lazy to imagine porky expanding his business whether he wants to or not. It is easier to imagine people that porky is simply too picky to put to work to just abandon their friends and family and return to monke before entry-level jobs becoming a thing again.
Couldn’t possibly be the result of cutting Germany off from its cheapest source of fuel, must be those pesky lazy workers.
- dude who knows literally only one thing about German economy or politics and is never going to stop repeating that one thing
I'll stop mentioning it once it gets declassified as a US covert operation in a couple decades or if western media stops pretending it "just happened" to avoid discussing US culpability, whichever comes first
What's the message here? Do you think this isn't relevant? Do you believe that people taking sick time is tanking the German economy?
Nah I just think that twenty plus years of neoliberal austerity politics and a population of mostly retirees has done more harm to our economy than three years of inflated gas prices and that just chanting "nordström nordström" again is a stupid short-sighted and wrong way of looking at things
our issues are the fault of decades of our own (our elected officials) false decision making and not the sole result of some covert US action
When you send trillions to wars then blame the workers that your economy is in shambles
This is why I keep saying Germany shouldn't have been given independence after the war but ruled by a more advanced society (such as Iran or China) until they were ready to take care of their own affairs.
