Re:Heathrow tells airlines to stop selling additional flight... by jasonwatkinspdx on Tuesday July 12, 2022 @03:42PM (#32074720)
This is the reality now for many working class people in the US, and has been for some time. They end up working two part time jobs with constant scheduling conflicts, and god help you if you have childcare needs as well. It's very consciously and deliberately designed to minimize both employee costs and their bargaining power. I mean we have freaking companies demanding non compete agreements to work in fast food.

But god forbid you raise the point that perhaps we need a political shift that removes some power from corporations and restores it to labor, you get painted as socialized nazi commie scum or whatever. It's so insane and frustrating just how good a lock these businesses have on the situation (Don't even get me started on Walmart et all).

To rational people this should be a no brainer. turns out a lot of people are not rational. the current system is not tenable in my opinion.
