They always say it like its a cute fun thing and not a matter of life or death for certain demographics
“upliftingnews”: this 85 year old woman who is taking care of her orphaned great grandchildren had to get 6 jobs at mcdonalds to pay for rice and beans, but she works 21 hours a day with a smile!
And the picture is a broken person hiding behind a pained mask struggling to lift a paper bag to hand someone their oh-so-important happy meal.
The system is grinding us to dust. Some more blatantly than others.
We need a(n) c/orphancrushingmachine.
This should be on @aboringdystopia
At my job we got one guy who is 75+ and can barely move around. The CEO and a few others are also hitting their 65s. But it’s just a handful. The other people are already dead so they can’t work. So si totally agree with that sentiment.
And yet, the dominant narrative as their elders crowd them out of jobs, is that young people these days don’t want to work
At 49, I’ve never heard a single person make that claim.
Many of these old farts don’t go back to work because they need the money. It’s because their greed is unbound.
