    Heaven forbid the wage slaves get a day to do something they might actually want to do besides making their absurdly rich masters even more so.

    Now let’s do more of these billion-dollar loss sick days, for longer periods of time. What were those called again? Things that people do in capitalist societies that refuse to accomodate for the people funding said capitalism? I just can’t think of the word…

    Anyway, going bowling tonight. Hoping to get a turkey, which consists of getting three somethings in a row…

      Oh I think that term is named after some old, old military officer. I want to say his name was General Strike

      I think it’s balls? You have to throw three balls or you’re out like in baseball?

      Maybe we’re both confused

        For most companies in the US, labor is about half the cost of hiring an employee, so more like 42/hour. That is also not including capital costs like an office or shop

        National median wage is ~33/hour. Math seems amout right
