Fuck you if your body breaks down doing manual labor to fix King Bazinga’s air conditioning, or to unclog the pipes after he eats too much le epic bacon and pushes out a brick, though. Better hope you’re charismatic and entertaining on GoFundMe. smuglord

    seems like the trade off that’s already here is this:

    blue collar/trade: destroy your body, potentially good pay but it varies wildly, expect to work 50-70 hr weeks, great job security in your field (better with union)

    white collar/office: save your body (but destroy it in other ways), good pay generally compared to labor put in, 40-45 hr weeks, extremely precarious job security, expect long periods of unemployment

    i used to get jealous of hearing every redditor complain about their coding job, my options were taken from me so it’s a bit of bitterness, but now it should just be solidarity we are all proles together
