please point me to the society that doesn’t need people to work in order to function. lmao what is this even supposed to mean? capitalism successfully enables people to grow old instead of dying in their 20s?
While I’m being extremely cynical with this meme, I do have a point, which I’ll discuss below:
My point is that Captialism should be the means to an end, not the end itself. Without us striving for something, or working towards something, we’d still be a bunch of lazy masturbating cavemen. We set ourselves up for labour, and send our kids off to school for two decades so they can sell their labour. Many of our choices are driven by money, an much of our would-be free time is consumed by work. It’s systemically fucked up.
Touching on the ‘means to an end’ argument, again, I’d wager that the system could shift to 20 hrs of work a week or something like that, and still sustain itself, while offering a better human experience. Imagine what humanity could do with an extra 20 hrs a week to create, bond with friends, etc.
Overly optimistic? Likely, but the current system seems to be ratcheting down on people, and trying to squeeze more out of them.
It’s not a matter of doing work, more who you work for. If we all worked for each other and collectively decided what to produce instead of the capitalist class we’d all maybe decide to work 20 hours less a week if that means a small minority of people didn’t get jets, yachts, mansions etc.
So many whiners lately. “Oh no my replacement Reddit doesn’t mimic my political views anymore.” Go find another instance dude. You can block this one with a few simple clicks. We don’t need to change for you.
From my experience with YYZ, they won’t start boarding the next flight until around the time you’re scheduled to land (or at least not until after the plane was supposed to leave), and they WON’T declare a delay or tell anyone waiting at the gates what is going on.
Oh and don’t ask the customs people any questions or they might try to find a way to punish you. They refused to tell us that we were waiting fifteen minutes in customs because they failed to warm up the machine before telling people to get in line for that machine.
Never again YYZ. I thought America had bad airports…
Never fly uhhhh westoid airlines. This might sound racist and it is, but fly Asian or rich Arab airlines. They at least give some fucks because they are tools of national prestige.
I don’t fly very often but last time I flew my American Airlines flight was delayed. The customer service and communication was non existent. They didn’t have a plan and nobody knew what was going on.
I’ve been trying to get compensation from AC for over a month for a suitcase that was lost for our whole trip. No one will reply. I’ll have to open a report with CTA.
One of my wife’s friends just had her trip to Japan delayed by 36h and she just got an email saying she’d have to go through the CTA even though they promised her the money at like 3 separate points.
Air Canada has changed all my flights in the last three years. They are especially fond of selling me a direct flight, then canceling that one and moving me to a connecting flight with worse departure and longer travel times.
I probably won’t going forward, if I can avoid it. But there’s always that timer of hope that this time, it’s different… and it’s not like WestJet is much better. So I try to avoid flying altogether now, for other reasons as well.
