That's the only culture here. We have no culture. I've worked with people from Taiwan, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Azerbaijan, and so on. I'm told the same thing by all of them, that America's literally only known for working themselves to death for no reason. Only 2 out of all the people I've worked with have stuck around here. The rest went back to their home country after working here extended periods of time. The "culture" here is work until you can't and then you're of no use so just go die in a hole somewhere, but make sure not somewhere inconvenient that might make another worker late.

We work for NOTHING here. We get nothing in return with our labor other than funneling money to the top 1%. No mandated vacation, no paid maternity/paternity time, no public health insurance, no access to affordable education, affordable child care, no NOTHING.

There's a LOT of dental professionals and the ADA that have been pushing for legislation to include dental as part of health insurance because what happens in your mouth affects the rest of your HEALTH. Your eyes and teeth are not separate from the rest of your body and shouldn't be classified as so with insurance.

Exactly. This is America. To pretend you're not looked at only as a robot with a number put here on Earth to make the owner more money...who we trying to fool ? That's all any of us are of value for, how much labor can we produce. Same reason we have such a resentment of the poor here. Can't extract capital out of them so they aren't worth the air they breathe to these ghouls and fuck faces.

The process for replacing a US Senator is the same in every state. Governor appoints a temporary replacement, special election must occur within two years. If the term is less than two years from ending, special election is not necessary. Shapiro could appoint anyone, and at one point in time appointing the wife of the Senator who stepped down or died was extremely common, but these days its unheard of. Shapiro would probably appoint Conor Lamb or Malcolm Kenyatta or somebody like that.
