Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

It's infuriating trying to talk to liberals about labor as a commodity because they think everyone is on some PMC salary with benefits, not realizing people really do work minimum wage with no health insurance, vacation days, and so on. I've seen that look of "deer in headlights" too many times when I mention people bargaining for higher wages because of so-called labor shortages and it's maddening.
Literally figured this out when I got my first job
