American work culture scares the shite out of me. We have a type of work called 'casual' work, distinct from permanent part time and full time contracts. 'Casual' work applies a 25% loading on your pay, but in exchange, you can be let go for any reason, without notice, and do not have a guaranteed amount of hours/shifts. It's intended to be offered to teenagers getting their first fast food job or whatever, but it's abused by employers and we have a real problem with too many people working casual.

Anyway, imagine my actual horror when I discovered this 'casual' scheme is just about the standard framework for working in the states - and they don't even get casual loading!

i love that i grew up in a 'post-history' world of peace because of pax americana. was taught from day one that we live in a civilized, elevated society compared to our history. anyway first sign of conflict from any country that isn't the states throws that conception into the dust bin, russian intellectuals can go fuck themselves for the crime of living in a different country, lol get rekt
