    people forget just how much of the world lives in shocking poverty

    no one should be able to amass wealth in the billions

    also, capitalism serves to create oppressive business models: a health insurance company that pays out their insurance claims likely does not perform as well compared to companies like UHC that deny claims on a dime. companies like UHC can grow their business and expand with the wealth they’ve made from scamming their clients out of health care

    I’ve never attended a singe scholarly celebration since my middle schools where I went and realized that it was completely pointless

    plus the whole preparation and fanfare is draining for me, id like to actually celebrate by relaxing not stressing over an event

    my siblings and I call each other then most derogatory nicknames we for each other since we used to argue and fight a lot growing up unless shit is serious. then it’s “hey (actual name)”

    my home life wasn’t super stable so I wonder how many families have this kind of sibling relationship

    I interpreted it more as the eldest daughter had grown so much personally from the hardship of raising her siblings that the parent’s parenting skills in comparison is so outclassed that the child could be their parent (or something like that it’s midnight and I’m tired)

    this is something I didn’t expect would bother me until it did

    growing up I thought “part time” hours meant you could just pick a set of hours and work but that’s “contract work” instead (don’t get me started on time sheets)

    and so for full time in thought you get to pick your days or schedule or any, nope, all HR and company policy.

    I’d work 4x10s if I could and have a nicer and longer weekend if I could
