I have no idea what I just read, and it makes perfect sense!!

No.

You’re forgetting that the rich pay-to-play, so they have access to resources we do not: namely paying off cops, judges, and politicians. You see, it’s “rules for thee, not for me” with the rich. In other words, what’s legal for them is illegal for us.

Thanks BBC for auto-fucking-playing the video and not allowing me to pause or mute it.

You’re right. But it’s not feasible for everyone. e.g. As a North Carolina state employee, I am legally not allowed to join a union.

North Carolinian here. I too lol’d.

I believe the intention is to create modern day slaves of us all. All for the amusement and enrichment of those who are insanely rich, and probably bored of being rich, so they turn to the last thing that gives them amusement: human torture.

Cute.

Let’s drop the pretense and call a spade a spade. DOGE is, was, and never will be about efficiency. Never. It’s about gutting “woke” programs, funneling that money into their own pockets, and punishing the rest of us for daring to believe we could “pull ourselves up by our bootstraps”.

And by “woke”, I mean any program that benefits people in such a way as to educate them, make them healthier, or even allow them to live comfortably.

We are literally at war, and right now we are losing horrifically to the billionaires who are desperately trying to put us in our place; as if we’re rabid dogs who need to be taught a lesson.

🤣

You sir/madam have won the Internet for today. Please see management for your prize.

I’ll admit it; I want to say things like those customers in the comic. Sometimes I do. But I also understand and appreciate that the person I’m talking to both doesn’t care, and can’t do anything about it. So when possible, I try to take some marriage advice I saw somewhere online:

Never say the first thing that comes to mind. Don’t even say the second thing. Say the third thing.

This works really well in emails or online forums, where you can revise many times until you hit send or post.

And for anybody who has read any of my past replies and feel inclined to point out that I still say stupid shit: just know that those stupid shit were the third things that came to mind. 😊

If you think about the phrasing of the title “Human Resources”, it makes sense that they are not your friends.

Let’s look at the definition of the word resource:

resource /rē′sôrs″, -zôrs″, rĭ-sôrs′, -zôrs′/

noun

1. Something that is available for use or that can be used for support or help. “The local library is a valuable resource.”
2. An available supply, especially of money, that can be drawn on when needed.

Those definitions describe disposable commodities; easily replaceable. The adjective “human” simply refines what type of disposable and replaceable commodities that the department deals with.

If you want someone to be your advocate your best interests at a job, you’ll need to hire a lawyer. In the meantime, make sure you take notes, and follow everything up with an email (bcc your personal email a copy of each correspondence).

If your state allows one-party consent, you can even record conversations; be very aware that despite being legal, it will likely get you fired with prejudice if anybody finds out you’ve been recording them without their knowledge.

My guy.

Put the mirror down.

I’ve calculated that I could retire right now on $3 million USD, and be able to maintain my current salary, with cost of living increases each year until I die.

It’s important to have the audio for the full effect.

That has to be the stupidest, most ignorant, and outright idiotic things I’ve ever read on the internet. Ironic.

If only there were some way to record previous events, and then maybe (just maybe) have people learn this in a structured environment where they are allowed to ask questions. 🧐
