I'm on the tail end of the last day of a full two week staycation. My job is pretty fucking sweet, hardly ever have to work late and comes with downtime between a couple days of chaos here and there. It's 100% WFH and has been for all but 3 of the past 15 years. We had just gone back to 3-4 days a week in the office fall of 2018.. Then March of 2020 back to 100% WFH. I'm still dreading having to adult for other adults again tomorrow. If it wasn't just 2 days then weekend I'd be dreading it more.
Point is, I can see after a long break how people are deciding to just NOT return to jobs that really do suck. Kid's college bill for spring semester is also definitely influencing the decision to log back in to the money source tomorrow morning.Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

I've noticed that not a lot of people are complaining about undocumented immigrants lately.

Is the opposite of resignation true? Should I just throw my resume out there at various linkedin jobs? Not really looking (I like my job), but if I saw something interesting and they were to give me a 50% raise b/c they can't find anyone else to show up and work hard, that would be awfully hard to pass up.
It makes perfect sense...until you think about it.
I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.

you mean complaining about the lack of, right? Because the venn diagram of people bitching they can’t eat out because there’s no staff and the people bitching about illegals are concentric circles.
now this is an actual article from today. We live in strange times.

Unfortunately higher wages will get passed on to consumers instead of being clawed back from profits and forty years of executive [over] compensation.

Even the 2008 epic collapse didn't budge the 1% on anything. They got bailouts to be used as their normal obscene bonuses at Goldman Sachs.. That's the same fuckers who crashed it then they used the bailouts to buy it all back cheaper keeping the windfall. further consolidating the wealth amongst themselves out of the 401Ks and real estate of regular people who lost when things crashed.

I've said it before and I'll say it again (and again and again and again)--My grandfather was right. Capitalists should be lined up against a wall and shot.

My Dad was an avowed socialist but he sometimes said, even if you divided all the money equally among everyone, in 5 years it would all be back where it started. Seizing wealth isn't gonna do anything unless the system is changed.

2008 wasn't an "epic" collapse of society. It could (should) have been an opportunity to reassess how we structure things and rebuild better, but people decided to just patch up the system and get right back to hedonism. Fixing it would have required sacrifice and foresight, both of which are sorely lacking in our world.
What I'm talking about is a collapse sufficient to FORCE a restructuring. I wish we could do it without that, because it will suck giant donkey balls for everyone, but it's where we're heading. Unfortunately afterwards there's still little reason to hope that a more sustainable society will rise from the ashes.ride bikes, climb, ski, travel, cook, work to fund former, repeat.
