Muskrat is literally making people sleep at the office, refusing to pay rent and is considering not paying the severance he agreed to - because his ego and greed.

A lot of the people who are still being held prisoner at Twitter HQ are there on an h1b visa and will be deported if they just quit. Does this give Muskrat the right to abuse them?

and that doesn't even tackle what is being done to people working at the McDs of the world.

We need systemic change. Not this incremental lip service

Will having your basic human needs met make you less likely to put up with abusive bosses, shitty customers, wage theft and so forth?

Absolutely. That's the fucking point. I shouldn't have to put up with people like Elon Musk and his crazy demands just to make sure I don't die from a tooth cavity that wasn't taken care of and ended up as a fatal brain infection.

Businesses need employees, yes. But they should not be able to treat employees like hostages.

and that is where we are at all levels

that sort of thing.

So maybe what we need to do is write up this shit in a dossier or something. And propose it to -the people- as a new bill of rights.

The only way change is going to happen is if we stop accepting that only rich people matter. It's up to us as regular people to decide what this change means and then make it happen.

cuz Trump isn't going to make it happen. Biden might give a baby step or two but he's not going to make it happen either.

Only the people can effect change.

I am not one of those cats who think that abolishing capitalism is the answer. I think that capitalism needs to be tamed and tempered rather than allowed to be a wild voracious beast.

So we need something in the middle.

As a human you get all of your basic needs met no matter what... whether you work or not.

Food & water
Clothing
Housing
Medical care
Personal Safety
etc

You want the designer jacket? get employed and work for it. But you don't need to freeze to death because you don't

braining over here...

Capitalism has it's good points and a lot of bad points. The bad points are all about human greed causing human misery.

Most of what people think is bad about socialism is actually bullshit propaganda dreamed up to make us fight the commies during the cold war.

Putting that aside there are Americans in the US right now that are suffering. No health care. No food. Homelessness. Can't find jobs.

@kimlockhartga as I understand it, and I might be wrong but I think Mastodon and Counter Social interact.

Why the hell would you want to have sex with someone who wasn't into it anyway? Consent is the sexiest thing on the planet!

"i want to have wild monkey sex with you."

"Ok lets do it! Right here right now!"

What an ego boost right there! Amazing. You are so desirable to that person they are ready to go!Shit enthusiastic consent is my whole groove.

But what if they say no? Well then NO MEANS NO. Again, why the hell would you want to have sex with someone who doesn't want to have sex with you?

Oh but what about in the bible where it says...

I don't fucking care about the bible or your religion. Your religion and your bible tells YOU what YOU are expected to do. It doesn't apply to anyone else unless THEY want it to apply to them.

Having sexual congress without someone's consent is FUCKING RAPE and if you do it, then you're a FUCKING RAPIST. End of story.

all you gotta do is ask for consent! Why is this so hard? Is your poor little fifis in the way?

Oh but what about incels...those poor men who can't find a woman to be with. QQ

What about them? I don't give a damn. There are plenty of service providers out there who will perform services for money.

Regular people don't owe incels access to their bodies for any fucking reason unless they wish to allow access.

No woman (or anyone) is required to open their legs to you. Even if you're married to them. Get over yourself.

All you gotta do is ask. "Can I hug you." No? Move on. Why the fuck would you want to hug or kiss someone that isn't into it? What the fuck kind of lame ass are you? Can you not find people willing to hug you? That's a YOU problem. Not a THEM problem.

and by the way NO is a complete sentence. Nobody owes you a fucking explanation as to why they don't want to do anything let alone anything personal. People shouldn't have to pull out a gun and shoot you for you to take NO for a fucking answer.

Maybe that person doesn't like to be touched. Maybe they had a past trauma. Maybe their arms are broken and hurt. Maybe they just think that hugging is in appropriate between two coworkers.

Their reasoning doesn't matter and they are under no obligation to tell you.

The fact that you want to decide it's ok for you to touch
somebody without their consent in ANY FUCKING WAY is the problem. You are not entitled to someone's else's body, affection or even attention. People don't owe you shit.

Saw an article briefly but didn't get the chance to read it. Might even have been an Onion parody.

Some dude was turned because someone didn't want to hug him. The article was "men want to know if hugging is ok."

No, men don't want to know that. Men, already know that hugging is OK in some cases and NOT OK in others.

Want to know how to tell? ASK.

"Do you mind if I hug you?"
"No."
"Ok cool"

Don't take it as an insult. Just be a fucking adult and realize nobody owes you a hug. CONSENT is key

@NoChatCat I dunno personally I'd send the bill back until they took out the vaccine shit. US Military get a gigantic cocktail of vaccines when they sign up. But because fascist neocon Trump cultists got a bug up their asses about this one particular vaccine we should bend over backwards to appease them?

to hell with them all.

wait...

I have followers? What the heck is wrong with you people. I ain't nobody. Who the hell cares what I have to say?

But today I will be announcing some NFT trading cards of myself for $49.50....

Where's my Obama trading cards?

OH WAIT...

BUT THEY'RE NOT A CULT
