So you’ve obviously never worked at a McDonald’s. It’s literally a mindless job. It’s fucking awful, and you literally just drone through your day. You’re not even trusted with cooking eggs, it’s all automated on timers.

At my restaurant, people get to be creative. dishes on the menu, specials. They get paid above industry standard. When I couldn’t have all my staff on during lockdown, I laid people to not work.

I’m not rich. I live in a one bedroom apartment. I’m still paying off debt I actúes keeping salaries going on workers who weren’t even working. I’m not the enemy. But whatever.

My restaurant never would have survived it. I went into debt to keep my workers paid during this time. I was in a group for small business owners in my city who were in the same boat as me. The economy would have been hurt, sure, but it wouldn’t screw over Walmart and Amazon. It would have screwed over us little guys just trying to get buy.

You can claim to be anti-oligarchy, but big business would have been fine. And a McDonald’s probably would have taken my spot and replaced my jobs with minimum wage drones.

Dude, the rail worker strike would have been devastating. Inflation was already rough, supply chains were still fucked post COVID, railways shutting down for days would have fucked businesses, especially small and mom and pops, and restaurants, that were all struggling because of lockdowns.

And they still negotiated with the union and got them most of what the wanted.

I’ve gone down the rabbit hole. Depending on culinary, scientific, or horticulture, nobody agrees on what things are classified as.

The community tends to vote with the little arrows.

And thankfully, hate is pretty easy to identify. Take any group of people, if you don’t like one in particular, the whole group, that’s hate. I don’t like trans people. I don’t like black people. See? It’s easy.

There is acceptable hate, and that’s based on human morality. I hade racists. I hate pedos.

If everyone lived with that simple philosophy in mind, love thy fellow humans, not hate (except you, pedos) then the world would be a better place.

It’s just the natural result of the sensationalizing of the news. Far more likely to get clicks or views saying something is fantastic or horrible. The grey areas don’t make $$$.
