Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Salary only has meaning when contextualized against the cost of living. As a European, you don't worry about going bankrupt and ending up on the street if you get sick, you likely enjoy functional public transit, and so on.
in ireland a lot of people do. contradictions around this stuff are probably worse here than anywhere else in western europe tho
I didn't realize this wasn't a uniquely American type of hell.
yeah we are basically at the forefront of EU neoliberal hell it's still much better in some other states so I understand the impression but it's really really bad here.
All the western countries are ultimately headed in the same direction, it's just the rate of descent that's different.
for sure. we've just been ruled by compradors to empire since gaining "independence" 100 or so years ago, so we're total vassals to the US and carved out by yankee and british capital sadly
