The “gig” economy was only ever really set up to exploit the poor and desperate, but at the same time these people need those incomes or those second jobs doing stuff like Uber and door dash and other micro-economy jobs.
It’s really tough to be poor, uneducated, and untrained in modern society because you just get crushed by forces so far beyond your control and you are so far below those forces notice that they hardly care beyond their desires to exploit you.
I get the differences, but there are similarities, microfinance is just the banking world’s version of the gig economy, still predatory in nature, still exploiting the poor under the guise of helping the poor.
Meh, OP Stalin is Tankie Jesus, if you said Mario was Marx then this wouldn’t be a Tankie meme, because Marx wasn’t a bloodthirsty dictator but Stalin was.
What’s even sadder is that it’s millions of people that some of us used to look up to and respect, now we just have a bunch of sad brainwashed shells of the people they used to be before Trump/conservative propaganda got ahold of them. They broke our communities and now they’ve broken our families, now all that’s left is for them to break is us.
I’m not the biggest Hillary fan but she’s been right about the Trump Qult from day 1 and this is a great essay from her about this topic:
The skyrocketing cost of insurance premiums in Florida is leading residents to drop their insurance, consider selling their home, and even move out of the state, according to recent reports....
40% of voting Floridians voted against DeSantis, Florida is also the state with the third highest Jewish population, I’m fairly certain that nowhere near all of Florida has “Nazi” politics.
Maybe try not sounding like an ignorant by generalizing the third most populated state, which is also just as mixed as the other three most populated states. You’re just sounding like those idiots that bitch about how California is all “liberal” while ignoring the conservative North Cali and all of the Neo-Con enclaves and Nazis in between.
Sure the Florida GOP are pretty much Nazi-lite, but there’s a shitload of Florida citizens who are not them and completely disagree with them and are doing what they can to push back against them.
The Swiss People’s Party (SVP), which centered its campaign on anti-immigrant rhetoric, is projected to win 29 percent of the vote, up from 25.6 percent four years ago and higher than pre-election polls. It has been the country’s largest party since 2003.
With voting underway, at least nine Republicans had cast ballots against his bid, likely leaving him short of the 217 votes he would need to win the job. More rounds of voting are expected if he does not prevail on the first vote....
It’s Elise Stefanik saying that, she’s a Trump humping opportunist, she couldn’t give AF if Jordan had raped wrestlers at Ohio State himself, she would still use doublespeak to prop Jordan up as something he’s absolutely not.
These fucking people don’t know what a patriot is and don’t care at all about anything that doesn’t affect them.

Technically he is brown, I really don’t know where the line is anymore for who’s a terrorist and who’s not according to the Peter Griffin skin shade scale, but it’s seemed to devolve into “if he’s a far right person then he must not be a terrorist” because you can’t say it’s conservatives because Jihadists are conservatives, then you have Hindu nationalists, the line really only seems to be “Donald Trump fan” not a terrorist, all others, terrorist.
The biggest concentration of folks with the surname Alembik are in Israel, where the brown people aren’t just Muslim but also Jewish, Jews are already usually not treated as white in general, although there are those of us like myself who are pale, blond, and blue eyed, but my Jewish ancestry is Russian in origin, really makes it easier to not be hassled for my mother and grandmother’s religion, although it would be much nicer if Nazis and others didn’t just blindly hate an ethnic/religious group.
Anyways, I’ve seen pics of this guy looking on the brown side and pics of this guy where he looks white, either way, doesn’t matter because he’s all dickhead and the world is a better place without him.
It’s funny how whenever Trump goes on one of these tangents it’s always reminiscing about some woefully outdated way of handling whatever he’s complaining about, just like the old man he is struggling with understanding the modern world, too bad his voters are every bit as lost in modern life.
Which is funny too considering how many of Trump’s friends were stand-ups or in comedy in general, like how Trump was a good friend to Howard Stern, whom is mostly friends with comedy or music legends, Howard even talks about Trump being one of the last people to leave Howard and Beth’s wedding. Although now Stern thinks Trump is a huge un-american piece of shit after Trump’s election and presidency.
So Trump has been around enough comedians to know a thing or two about stand-up, but his material just isn’t good at all.
Nothing like a little nuclear winter to cool things down, I’ll be down in my vault-tec vault getting experimented on by a soulless corporation, btw my name is Gary.
We need to unionize, or the existing Tech/Communications unions need to get better and expand to include us.
We also need to force tech departments to stop offshoring their workers, I love our Indian tech Bros as much as the next guy, but companies need to hire local first rather than ripping off Indian tech Bros on the cheap just because they can.
And lastly, let remote workers who can do their jobs perfectly fine working remote stay remote, there is absolutely no reason why someone who works in cloud or virtualization technologies should have to be onsite, same with developers, same with so many other positions, both tech and standard.
