The bu-t wipe they provide in our place is the damn industrial kind. Would rather use a paper towel!

Aug 2021 - Mar 2022 annihilated the "highly effective" narrative. Almost every person in the country that was high risk due to age or other comorbidities had been vaccinated, and yet...
But your right, of course. Now, has it been more than 4 months since you've been booster? Ok then, time to get another shot. It's free and highly effective.
What are you talking about, it already does, the only reason I come into the office now is for the free toilet paper, I can't afford to buy my own now.
Um, it costs money NOT to starve. Starving is pretty much free.
We did the full time home parent at home thing and there is absolutely no way that it saves money. The fact is that you will be far poorer but you will have the happiest and most well balanced children out of all of your friends.
It is absolutely financially devastating but it by far the best choice.
Unless you've got something that prevents infection in both humans and animals, and you don't, we were all "letting it mutate and spread".
It's almost like people are unaware of the omicron spike which proved all the stopping the spread propaganda to be exactly that. Good grief people. There isn't a single mitigation strategy parroted by the government that had a net positive effect. Not one. It was all theater to make you feel better about a situation no one could control.
In other news, the CDC recommends that you continue to wear masks, distance, and get boosted every 4 months. Thank you.

As someone married to a nurse who took care of COVID patients for two years while id--ts allowed the virus to mutate and spread, she was the first one to say how id--tic a blanket RTO was for back office staff.
Common sense would tell you that an ER nurse must go into work. It is part of their career that cannot be changes.
Back office non customer facing jobs do not need to go in. The work can be done remotely. For a company that says they want to cut costs, remote work and closing offices would save money.
For a company that likes to talk about how "green" they are, closing these offices and not having the majority of employees pollute through commuting to/from the office would actually be a positive step in being "green".
1dwx+1h8e4JsB Um, hello? EVERYONE who has elderly parents was afraid to go visit them. EVERYONE who has kids had kids who were climbing the walls. The difference is that not EVERYONE got to work from the safety and comfort of their own home.
What do you think the health care workers, grocery store clerks, and delivery drivers did with their kids while they were at work?
I’m one of the people who got to work from home, and I’m grateful every day that it worked out that way for me. If I have to go back because the pandemic is winding down, it means I made it through unscathed, and I’m grateful for that too. Listening to my coworkers whine because they have to actually GO to work just makes me laugh. Go tell it to an ER nurse.
@1dqk+1h8e4JsB Newsflash! We live in a first world country! Comparisons to “other” world countries is a false equivalency unless you would prefer the whole world step backward as a sign of inclusion.
@1myl+1h8e4JsB Privilege is relative. Are there people always better off? Yes. Worse off? Yes.
What you don’t see about people who worked at home, sitting on their butts and banking their paychecks is the 14 hour days 6 days a week. Their spouses who didn’t have the same types of jobs and lost them. Their kids who were climbing the walls. Their older parents they were terrified to go visit - that they worried if they didn’t visit they may never see them again.
“Privilege” is a cop out. While it is real it’s not a universal argument ender and simply dismissing the people you presume have it makes you a pretty sh---y person.
I'm sorry but 100k is not high-income. Maybe it was 20 years ago, Rip Van Winkle, but not anymore. It's time to wake up to the year 2022.
Gas prices in other countries are far higher. UK is now about $7.80/ gallon
Breaking news, every single person that is alive is "privileged". It's long past due that we retire the entire concept, which was designed from it's inception to dehumanize and cause anger, resentment, and violence that the powerful intentionally unleash in order to control people.
Based on a 2000 calorie diet, you only need $1 a day to not starve. Unless you want to buy a bunch of food already prepared for you. But even then, you can get a huge rotisserie chicken at sams club for $4.99
@1zqg+1h8e4JsBm my car in 2020 cost 35.00 to fill up. the same car cost me 80.00 in 2022. it’s only a 16 gallon tank. unless you are driving a EV it doesn’t matter tank size it’s hurting everyone at 5.00 + a gallon
@1ouo that's what dug us into this ho-e to start with. It will take another decade to get us out of this mess
Costs a fortune to fill up? Time to ditch that behemoth and drive a normal car !
@bci+1h8e4JsB If you spent the last two years collecting your paycheck while sitting safely at home, you are privileged. You kept your job. You didn’t have to risk your health. You sat on your bu-t, had anything you needed delivered, and saved money while others lost jobs, loved ones, and even their lives.
Ironically, just the fact that you have no idea you’re privileged shows how privileged you really are.
@1ouo+1h8e4JsB Yeah, then we can give up healthcare without a job (ACA) and let corporations get even greedier!
You, baboon, should be reading up on who is NOT voting for things to improve the lives of common people. Bill was just up for a vote to prevent oil companies from gouging, aka raising prices because they can, they price fix and they stall production to minimize supply and maximize profit from the motoring public, and not ONE SINGLE Republican voted for it. Not one. Remember that when you next fill up your tank and on Election Day.
Vote red you baboon.
I think I'm going to supplement my income by creating an OnlyFans.
ID: @iom+1h8e4JsB my son is 2. and what we are getting for 200 use to cost me no lie less than 100.
“ it’s never cost me 200 a week to feed my family of 3”
Lucky you! I have two teenage boys. My weekly grocery bill is over 200, every week! It’s getting ridiculous. When do they start college? ;)
@bci calm down snowflake
@pyz+
privileged! you got some nerve telling people they're privileged. You don't know how many mouths they have to feed or anything about them. Not all of us can drop 100k on a EV so we can stick it the oil companies. You must be living in a bubble.
This is a little dramatic
: @pyz+1h8e4JsB it’s never costed me 80 bucks to fill up my toyota!! never!!!! it’s never cost me 200 a week to feed my family of 3. because i make 1k over 100k my insurance premium has increased bc WF now considers me a high income earner!!! i laugh at the thought of their definition, maybe 3 years ago but at these rates if they do not do something about wage increases across the board, you won’t have to worry about me at year end review. i’ll be gone.
Working has always been expensive. Gas and other transportation costs, clothing and dry cleaning, lunches, and hidden costs like picking up takeout when you’re too tired to cook. Child care.
Thanks to the pandemic certain privileged people, the ones who could work from home, got a break from those costs, and now they’re clutching their pearls and acting like the cost of working is a shocking new thing.
Well, welcome to the real world. Where you’re not special.
If only someone could have predicted that this would happen.
I just filled up, cost me 144 dollars. I went to costco on Sun, everything costs 25-50% more. I've been recently considering retiring and moving to Mexico, its cheaper, and the people are a whole lot more friendly.
We’re already hitting up the summer food provided to kids from school. That’s all I’ve come up with so far outside of selling items of value we have to help, but that will only go so far. I wish I had answers. No one here will do anything to help, that’s for sure. We’ve continuously had benefits taken away or scaled back. This company is not here to help us.
this isn't a new question and one people have grappled with to some degree for eternity, at this point for me I am almost better off staying at home instead of paying for childcare and as a result am having serious conversations with my partner about quitting and being a full time stay at home parent.
