A job is a way to make money. It is not the responsibility of a corporation to keep you fed or alive. If you don't like how a job treats you find another one.

This pseudo familial relationship with jobs that Americans seem to have is one of the oddest mental illnesses I've seen.
- kennywinker 4y agoAnd the mental illness of worshiping billionaires seems to have spread worldwide. Why else would you leap to defend elon musk's erratic behavior, and carry water for the damage he leaves in his wake?
- thrown_22 4y agoMusk is a retard, but he's still less retarded than anyone who expects firms and the market to take care of them.
- hourago 4y agoGovernments create rules that force corporations to take care of employees. Maybe not so much in the USA. But that can be improved thru higher taxation and better employment regulations.
- kennywinker 4y agoThere’s a difference between saying “wow that guy is an irresponsible asshole for intentionally or unintentionally fucking up my job” and expecting the market or your job to take care of you. I know some drivers will run red lights and stop signs, so I walk and bike accordingly. I’m still in the right to get mad when a driver narrowly misses me because he’s a self involved clown.

- kennywinker 4y agoIf company owners want credit for creating jobs, that comes with the reciprocal responsibility of it being your fault if those jobs go away.
- thrown_22 4y agoJobs are a cost center. Companies don't create them on purpose anymore than having a higher electricity bill. I have no idea why you would think that is an argument for anything.

- thrown_22 4y agoStalinists criticized capitalists, Stalinists killed millions, ergo anyone who criticizes Musk supports genocide.
- kennywinker 4y agoI keep explaining the connection between my ideas, and you keep repeating that they are unconnected without acknowledging my reasoning. In retrospect, I should have left things back at have a nice day
- thrown_22 4y agoYou keep making strawmen and expect me to fight them, now you're upset I won't. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

- toofy 4y agowe spend over half our waking hours for often over half of our lives spent working — you think it’s a mental illness for a person to consider how all of these hours and expended energy impact their life? honestly, you think this is a mental illness? and i think there are many reasonable arguments that huge chunks of the world care far more about their jobs impact on their lives than we (u.s. americans) do. a mental illness? the way you say everything in your comment, as if that belief is somehow a universal truth is wild.
