A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Go play golf and change your diaper grandpa, you’re getting crabby.

He says on the holiday dedicated to the freeing of the slaves. It’s no coincidence this the one he complains about.

[–] cecinestpasunbot@lemmy.ml 51 points 15 hours ago

Kind of telling to be complaining about this on a day which celebrates the end of slavery.

Says the man that golf's more than work

The fucker is actively cratering the once biggest economy in the world

and his constituents cheer.

I hope every one of you 'genocide joe' objecters who stayed home feel crushing guilt as you watch the country collapse due to your misplaced ideologies

Look, on the one hand, I understand your sentiment. On the other hand, these are the voters you have, blaming them won't get them to the polls, "teaching them a lesson" won't get them to the polls. As hard as it may be to primary the Dems who are voting for Trump's picks, who are voting for genocide, who are even trying to pull Trump towards war right now, it is still easier than getting new voters if you're not into domestic genocide like Trump.

I understand you're frustrated with voters, but it's something that you can't change. Some people will not vote if the options are "one genocide or two genocides". You can change the politicians, try to get more people like AOC and Bernie and less people like Schumer though.

He's right. This year, everybody's gotta work Christmas.

King Cuck says no more holidays while golfing his presidency away.

[–] excral@feddit.org 4 points 12 hours ago

See, it's fine when he goes golfing as he doesn't directly contribute anything to his or his pals' wealth. But those workers actually creating wealth, how dare they take days off.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 116 points 22 hours ago (10 children)

"the workers don't want it"

The fuck we don't

[–] excral@feddit.org 6 points 12 hours ago

That's one of the fundamental strategies from the trump playbook: just claim the people want something and if it's repeated loud and often enough, people will start to believe it. Hopefully not for something as egregious as this, but it has worked in the past.

We have the least mandated PTO in the developed world and a good portion of the underdeveloped world.

Our federal holidays aren't even days off for most people. Lol

My opinion of him can't be lower but man I keep realizing how fucking stupid his supporters are with every one of his asinine comments.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 26 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah I called Juneteenth getting axed over a month ago and one of my co-workers chimed in that Juneteenth was a Trump holiday. It isn't, it was signed into law by Biden his first year in office. Trump lied about it while campaigning.

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago

Yeah I’ll be shocked if it still exists next year. He’ll call it β€œwoke DEI” and his bitches in congress will scramble to be on the wrong side of history yet again.

It would be fun to make Trump work a job for 90 days. Nothing major. Maybe answering phones for a help line.

9 to 5 desk job.

Monday through Friday.

If he misses a day he has to "find a new job" and start over.

The dude would fucking CRACK like he was being waterboarded!

[–] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 15 points 16 hours ago

And then for evenings and weekends, he has to: do chores around the house, fix shit instead of hiring someone else to do it, pay bills, contact businesses because they billed you incorrectly and you can't afford to pay the extra hundred they're charging you, go grocery shopping, meal prep, do taxes, and all the while be a good husband, father, and person who takes care of themselves.
