    Remember:

    If you saw someone living a decent life while “working” a bullshit job, no you didn’t!

      Yeah no. If I’m starving working 50 hours/week I’m gonna be pretty fuckin pissed seeing someone do fuck all for more.

      I’m not saying I’m gonna take it out on them but if they ever complain about work I’ll eviscerate them.

          And this isn’t always possible. In fact it commonly isn’t. I do agree the people who don’t do anything and complain is stupid but many jobs don’t have any opportunity for more and you become stuck.

            Then find something else, expand your skill.

            If everyone did that, those jobs would have to change or nobody would do them.

            Live your life for yourself, not for others.

                  Or, perhaps it would be the system working exactly as intended. Depends on how you look at it.

                  The market for teachers has been fucked for a WHILE in most places and it still hasn’t changed enough, in the US

                Teachers that do it solely for the pay, yeah, totally, plus it would generate much needed pressure to improve things.

                  There is a teacher shortage right now. The supposed pressure to improve things comes from where again? Who is going to be on a megaphone, chanting about poorly educated youth? Who gives a shit about illiterate, poor, people, except the manipulative assholes who get rich taking advantage of them?

                  Personally I believe the state wants poorly educated citizens They spend lots of money on stupid shit. They take pride in working several low paying jobs, poor Healthcare, poor infrastructure. Basically, poor, uneducated people are perfect slaves. Why do you think it was illegal to teach slaves to read?

          It’s kind of a crab bucket mentality. Virtually anyone any of us have ever seen, who had “jobs” of some sort, were working class, and not mill/billionaire class. We all have more in common with each other than with the one percent, and if someone I know has figured out a way to claw a little bit back, then more power to them so long as they’re not hurting someone. Oh, boo fucking hoo, they figured out a way to scam a livable wage out of a Fortune 500 company! I say, good for them! We should all be so lucky.

        Instead of getting mad at a fellow worker for having a job that doesn’t exploit them, why don’t you get mad at the people who actually exploit you?
