This post is about how mining taxes are too low.

#49 my salary got messed up once for a promotion, in the system it was paying me 40k every HOUR instead of every year. It would still take over a DECADE at that rate for me to make a billion dollars though. Shame they found out and fixed it.

#31 fun fact, I was a bus driver. Your shifts start at odd times like 7:32 Bc it’s based off where you’ll start your route, and if we were one second late clocking in, you’re late. If you’re late three times in a year you’re fired.

#49 And that's only if you don't spend any of it or manage to invest enough that your returns are higher than your expenditure.

Musk probably also figures that if you spend all your money on golden penguin statues it would be ridiculous to ask you to pay taxes since then you'd have to sell some of your golden penguin statues.

I want a golden penguin statue now. I'll settle for plastic.

#27 For those curious, ATSI = Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders = Australian First Nations peoples. We've got lots of human rights violations towards them here, including current ongoing ones. And lots of land issues to boot! Hoping we get better as a nation soon...
QueenOfTheFey
All countries need to do better. Especially towards indigenous populations and decolonization. I wish Australia a better future, and it's ATSI people true reconciliation. I wish the same for my country (Canada)

#3 - I used to work in a distribution warehouse for supermarkets and one year they decided to drug test us on new years day but stopped when they'd sacked too many people and were going to be short staffed

You could give me a job suckin titties and I'd be checking my watch by lunchtime.
RobBobertyYT
Huh. Now I wonder how many titties in it would take for it to start feeling like a job to me. Even assuming it's all titties I'd want to suck, there's gotta be a number where it starts to become a chore. Can't imagine it could ever get worse than any job I've ever had though :)

#5 I recently had someone sign off an email to me with "have a bitchin day". I told them I was pretty sure bitchin would indeed be part of my day.

I copied my boss's "best regards" years ago and still use that. This is not the first time I've seen shade thrown its way. What are we supposed to be using? I feel like more people want to have their email to be more like chatting and just drop the salutations and signatures. I definitely feel the giant billboard signatures are hideous & archaic, but also feel like my not at least putting "Hi Steve," is too, something, I don't know. (Not even touching on e-mailing Japanese or Korean co-workers.)
TheAllHighEruIluvatar
I use "Cheers" to sign off a lot.

#43 it’s funny that they think the cat would support capitalism when they are clearly all anarchists

#50 when they jailed and killed the hippies, union leaders, and minorities at a rate double communist China for a few decades. Take a room debating dinner, 5 want salad 5 want pizza. The pizza faction takes out a gun and shoots somebody for wanting salad, then puts another in a closet for the remainder of their life. The room is now full of 8 people who want pizza. Or as de Zach de la Rocha put it, jail and bury those committed, smother the rest in greed.
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
It wasn't all murder and criminalization. Sometimes they just bribed politicians and judges to gut union protections, hobbling their ability to apply leverage in favor of workers.

My boomer boss made my team use “best regards” as a signature. In my next job, I got reported to HR for being hostile by using it.
Nobody213
People can read in a lot of negativity. I still sign my work emails "best"
tentacularfleshscape
Do basically calling yourself best lol
Nobody213
That's not how I interpret it. I interpret it as being short for "All the best," which is much more common than "The best" in that context.
tentacularfleshscape
nah i get it
ThunderStrike2021
Because you’re saying something like “you are not important enough to finish this sentence”. That’s the perception anyway.

Like people who initial their emails because they’re too busy to type their name?

Dear people who think that,
You're lucky I signed my email at all.

#49 500$ a week is 260000$ a year
noReallyIamPrincessBob
+1 for correct math!
lemoncakedog
My calculator must be broken, it says $26,000 not $260,000
noReallyIamPrincessBob
I didn’t even notice they put $500 instead of $5000. Hahaha!

It also falls into the trap of thinking a billionaire actually has a billion dollars in the bank. Their assets are worth a billion dollars. Nobody has a billion dollars.
dcl88
NoBoDy HaS a BiLllIoN dOlLaRS! They can get loans, investments, credit lines, etc etc that no one without a billion dollars can get. They do have a Billion dollars.
LarvaLamp
Ok. Stay mad at people who have more than you, I guess.
QueenOfTheFey
This is so dismissive. Like no ones mad billionaires have more bro, that's a strawman. We're mad they have an ungodly amount more, that no one on earth deserves, that they gained through abuse, exploitation, and an unjust system, while people are literally dying in poverty. Get all the way fucked, bootlicker

I'm not a bootlicker, I just don't care.

#15 2,13$/hour? I had bigger salary working in a retail store in Romania.
IHaveGreatKittenRecipes
Yeah in the US that's the federal base wage for tipped positions, most commonly seen in foodservice. In *theory*, your boss is supposed to pay the difference between that and the 7,25/hr standard minimum wage if your tips didn't meet that level, but in practice? Get fucked. Some states have set higher minimum wages but the reduced 'tipped employee' wage is still very much a thing across the board, it's just reduced to a different level.
Isiel89
I think some places, like Seattle and NYC have instituted regular minimum wage with tips being a benefit/bonus on full minimum wage.
IHaveGreatKittenRecipes
Ah, good! That stupid offset wage needed to die long ago.
