Yeah the proletariat are making the decisions in China. They’re a dictatorship of Xi.

Not just that, but pretending China isn’t capitalist is wrong.

Of course you’re working class. It’s about the owners of Capital property. Does your house that you own (which I doubt since you imply you have a mortgage) make money for you?

It’s us versus a very small number of them.

Fucking racist.

That’s it thanks! I couldn’t remember the name.

Some cats just have those flaps. I had a thin 18 year old girl with flaps that almost grazed the ground when she walked.

It’s funny, we use it lightly for it’s intended purpose. I work in person on the ground and so do most people in the company. We’re spread wide geographically. I like what teams has done for us. We use it sparingly.

The thing about making it a holiday is interesting. Everyone in the service industry would be forced to work, probably extra hours as well. Because here any holiday means people who are lucky enough to be middle class and above will be consuming, especially eating out or ordering food in.

I’d prefer mandatory voting like Australia but with ballots mailed to everyone automatically. Make it as easy as possible.

I’m assuming you’re in Germany? So envious of your labor rights there and in the broader EU.

We were allowed to donate plasma eight times per month. $25 first donation of the week $35 second.

Do you get paid for the work day? I used to donate plasma twice a week because that $240 a month was the only money I had. I stopped because now I don’t need that money and I work too much to have time for it.

If I got a paid day off work for every donation I would be there as often as they let me.

I see the downvotes here but would anyone like to explain what’s wrong with PIA? I’ve been using it for many years.

What party is socializing healthcare?

I never said don’t vote for them. In fact in the US right now at the national level the only choice is to vote Democrat even if you hate them. It’s harm reduction.

That’s fair. I’m not against strategic voting.

I’m not the same person, but I’ll give it a go. It’s confusing in part because liberal often means leftish leaning in the US but not elsewhere.

For example Democrat and liberal are pretty much interchangeable in US political discourse, but that’s not what the word means. Liberalism is more of an economic strategy. In this sense Democrats and Republicans are both liberals. They are all conservative liberals. Does that sound like a contradiction? Only in modern US politics. One party is just more conservative socially and more economically liberal.

Left or Leftist is generally in conflict with liberal ideology, as a leftist believes in strong social safety nets like universal healthcare, universal basic income, etc. Depending on the type of leftist, this could mean things like a planned economy, workers owning the means of production, or even collectivist anarchy. Examples of leftists are Socialists and Communists.

This is why, to a leftist, it’s so damn funny when a republican calls a democrat a radical leftist. No self respecting leftist would be a member of the democratic party.

Sorry for all the US centric shit on a thread about France but I think that’s where the confusion usually comes from.

Wouldn’t that be snake?

I’ve had a couple tools go missing at other sites but all the ladder theft was at one site.

I work a labor job and had three ladders stolen from me on a single project. As I was a contractor at the time it came out of my pocket. There was actually a fourth attempt when I found mine with painter’s tape over where I wrote my name.

Someone else made a comment and I think it’s great so imma plagiarize it-

If kids are taught to read an analog clock early, which isn’t very hard to learn, they are getting a leg up on fractions, percentages, and geometry.

I went to a Mexican American place two weeks ago and they had hawk tuah shots. Don’t know what was in them.
