My wife was fired from a job for getting sick (kidney stones). We were told if we don’t like it, sue, but I bet you can’t afford either with the medical bills. It took us years to pay for that stone.
There are some very unkind people out there who take advantage of their position. It’s a right-to-work state which just means that you can be fired for any and no reason with no recourse. It’s dystopian as hell. Most people in these positions put up with it because they enjoy eating.
I get that Americans like the illusion of freedom, but the only freedom here is enjoyed by the employer. That they can get away with it is so fucked up.

Let’s hope the accelerationists are right, then
It’s all we can do. We can hope.
they have to prepare for when they eventually leave the trailer park and become the ruling class
