Get a job? Why don't I strap on my job helmet and squeeze down into a job cannon and fire off into Jobland, where jobs grow on jobbies
Slavery never went away in 'Murica
It was just re-branded
and in canada we copy homework from the states a lot. just the wrong answers.
You can work at any soul-crushing job you like, assuming you are willing to submit yourself to the nightmare machine of corporate hiring every time you want to change companies.
And the health"care" insurance, dont forget that!
"Anyone can get a better job" /= "everyone can get a better job."
Choice always exists but change is scary.
Also, the grass isn't always greener on the other side... sometimes it's just spray painted. Then you get over there and its just as bad if not worse.
And sometimes it's one of the most amazing things that you can actually do
And that's the problem you never know. But you can always change again.
You’re implying that there is always employment choice which is untrue. I guess you could choose to be unhoused without medical care and food.
Not in this economy
"freedom to work" is actually "freedom to starve yourself"
