The people who work at amazon warehouses are slaves too. Being a slave is about being abused in a working environment. It has nothing to do with racism. They make the crap, make slave wages, amazon flys it over and makes all the $$$. You

Funny how nobody mentions 15 large container ships like this generate as much emissions as all the cars in the world combined. It's almost like buying products from slaves in Asia and transporting them across the ocean is bad for the p

If I had not bought a house, I would have no savings. Yay inflation. Jobs don't pay enough and social security won't be there when you need it. Anyone that is thinking of depending of govt for your long term financial stability,

Companies like this hire based on how much they suspect they can push the employee to produce beyond what they need to pay them. Recent immigrants are fertile territory. They don't know the laws really and are just so happy to have a

Our favorite globalist progressive companies with all the right virtue signalling about diversity, move jobs to country with fewer laws everytime something gets unionized. They do it for our safety.

It's classic divide and conquer strategy. The peasants are too distracted fighting about idiocy like whether a drug is republican or democrat. Meanwhile the billionaire's are carving up our assets to distribute to themselves. Ow

The deep fake technology will kill the video star. Movies will be made more and more with this tech to save $$ on casts. There is already so much noise pretending to be news that few people pay attention anymore to the media. Just another v

In Canada the top rate of 50 percent hits anyone making over $60k Usd for comparison. Most trades in Canada are max tax rate, because the max tax rate kicks in at extremely low levels compared to USA.

Fronting the money for the supplies usually comes from the fact the tradesperson went on a bender after you paid him last time! Also in the area where I live, most home trade jobs are done with as much cash as possible to avoid taxes. The p
