Which way to the egress?

The person who says they are fed up goes on, nevertheless.

@A_Certain_Plume On my reading that's the case. "They're less than 20 years behind" LOL!

[Whither? @hostisgift]

@ups_teamster Dedication 😬🤣

[Whither? @hostisgift]

@ups_teamster This type of old-timer 🤣 Gotta love "it's all about the mighty dollar NOW" as if it was ever about anything else.

[Whither? @hostisgift]

@ups_teamster I voted OZ with exactly this attitude. Don't know how it is at your building, but at mine plenty of fellow drivers are afraid to even file grieves and hold the company accountable ... I always tell them, just follow the methods and you're untouchable

[Whither? @hostisgift]

Here we go again. This quasi-plague really is proving to be reliable coals for historical changes. As for how those may turn out, who knows, but one may harbor a foolish hope or two nowadays ...

While we fix our gaze on the virus, the government and the bosses are slaughtering us.

@nihil_evadere @A_Certain_Plume @glowwormsalon A shame you ever felt obliged. If you were not so condescending and bent on tilting against windmills, it might be possible yet to have a conversation. No somos gigantes, just people making their way through an absurd, and rather terrible, labyrinth.

[Whither? @hostisgift]

@nihil_evadere Ah, it's a miracle cure - I will be 'salon-proofed'!🤣 Handing out hours of reading assignments: my, you really have become a leftist!😉 Will there be a test?

[Whither? @hostisgift]

@glowwormsalon @nihil_evadere @A_Certain_Plume 🤣🤣

[Whither? @hostisgift]

@nihil_evadere @glowwormsalon @A_Certain_Plume Sorry, I was busy with the 'far-right elements' scheming a plan to disband our local union ;)

[Whither? @hostisgift]

@nihil_evadere The inquisitor does not like to be asked probing questions in kind I see.

[Whither? @hostisgift]

@nihil_evadere @glowwormsalon @A_Certain_Plume I think you went awry by orienting your thinking to 'the art of the possible', aka, politics. For me it is more than enough 'practice' to have to carry on in this absurd world; in my thinking -- what little time I have for it these days -- I prefer to breathe fresher air.

[Whither? @hostisgift]

@nihil_evadere But maybe you would want the state to force such deplorable people to keep working because their reasons for resigning aren't approved? And because causing further problems to the economy, especially during a pandemic, doesn't show proper solidarity?

[Whither? @hostisgift]

@nihil_evadere Leaving one's livelihood in protest of a law is surely putting one's neck on the line. The effect on the labor market will be the same whether you or I fully endorse, have mixed feelings, or totally despise the rationale for doing so.

[Whither? @hostisgift]

@nihil_evadere @glowwormsalon @Pon_or_Gong If even a small fraction of the workforce did so, this would further inflame the ongoing 'labor shortage'. It is a remarkable time to be alive; I myself have been shocked that labor militancy (by no means limited to 'anti-vaxxers') has awoken to such a degree ...

[Whither? @hostisgift]

@nihil_evadere From the other thread a few days back --https://t.co/IAiFmjrbMR

[Whither? @hostisgift]

@nihil_evadere @glowwormsalon @Pon_or_Gong Nihil, I am very interested to see how the US vaccine/testing mandate will play out. I don't take at face value all the tough talk I've read online, but I also will not be surprised if some people put their necks on the line and refuse to comply.

[Whither? @hostisgift]

@nihil_evadere What I mean, in terms of volition, is that we are operated far more than we are operators.

[Whither? @hostisgift]

@nihil_evadere I have doubts about your metaphor: if each person can be said to be 'a motor of society', let's be clear -- we are surely not the operators.

[Whither? @hostisgift]

@nihil_evadere Yes, I don't think anyone can really understand such things. The point is the demise of 'class consciousness' cannot be ascribed to the actions of small 'ultraleft' groups, groups which were impotent from inception and never enjoyed much influence among workers.
