> You should fight for some more rights, sometime <3

I wish we could fight for more rights. We are too spread out for protests to work. The politicians do everything they can to separate themselves from their electorate. And the average person doesn't have enough money to weather a week of no paychecks. Meanwhile half the populace gets angry at the thought of helping out anyone beneath them as they don't want them to get ahead.

The worst is that you have a very vocal minority trying to constantly burn down the house so that they can be king of the burn pit.



This is very succinct. I was raised to value "a hard day's work," and while I still do, I realize as an adult that I should know who or what I'm working for.

One word, Unions.

Its why Europe is doing so well with workers rights in STEM today compared to America.
