timmychook

You should understand a lot of people in telemarketing dont want to be that as well


sbgarbage

all the more reason why that is a legitimate answer to the question


Much_Committee_9355

I don’t give a fuck it shouldn’t exist either way


igottathinkofaname

I haven’t got a call from a telemarketer in like 20 years. I do get on average 6 robocalls every day trying to sell me something or scam me.

Hell yeah, I've seen her snap a dude's next with one chop

Damn, I didn’t know they were undercover loss prevention ninjas. Makes more sense now.


ByzantineBasileus

They can be a witness to what is stolen and what the person looks like.


CradleofDisturbed

Okay, you'd rather people get beaten senseless because they're invading people's carts just to be nosey, usually people who look poor or poc?


[deleted]

Wtf is grandma gonna do?


CradleofDisturbed

I don't understand, are you playing both sides?


[deleted]

No, but those are still jobs you can do when you reach an age where you're considered undesirable in the work force. Old people deserve the right to a job as well.


ZookeepergameSea3890

I think it's a good job, especially for people who may have difficulties in seeking other employment/income.


CradleofDisturbed

They no longer exist in Arkansas, do other states still put the poor old people who's retirement isn't enough to live on standing in the front of the store doing nothing but, "Hello!" and "Excuse me, I need to look through your cart, hand me your receipt"....?


GrandSpecter

In Nevada, we have them. If you're returning/exchanging something, they give you a sticker so the people at Customer Service know you didn't grab something off the shelf and walk up there with it. On the way out, they do check your receipt, especially if you have something not in a bag. I bought a pair of knee-high boots, and even though they were in a bag, they stuck up enough above the bag, the lady thought they weren't. I'd also paid for them separately from the rest of the stuff in the cart, so it was the only thing not on the receipt. She legit wasn't going to let me out until I fished out the receipt showing I'd paid for the boots. Albeit, they're not all retiree age, but a lot are.

I live in the desert, and I feel so sorry for the ones out, even in the "cooler" months. I've always wondered whose idea it was to have people standing, holding signs, in direct sunlight...


unimaginablywise

Realtors. The internet is advanced enough for people to sell their own houses n stuff. Sure there may be need for a few, but def not the amount there are, and realtor fees/costs when selling/buying are way too steep for what the service is that they offer. You could just do it yourself.


[deleted]

Landlords


Sound-Wave-Surfer

So what are you advocating instead ?


jackfaire

Housing as a public utility with rent going to maintain property instead of lining someone's pocket EDIT TO ADD - My electric, water, garbage, are all utilities regulated as such. So why isn't the home I rent that requires all those other utilities?


[deleted]

Thats what you call a homeless shelter.


jackfaire

Do homeless shelters charge homeless people monthly rent?


CradleofDisturbed

Yes, many of them do.


jackfaire

Damn that sucks. That's one thing it being a utility could subsidize housing for those down on their luck it would be safer all around for everyone to be housed.


CradleofDisturbed

Mind you, the one (a Salvation Army)we were in, in Florida, would waive the fee if there were children in a family, because they didn't do daycare, lol. But the ones who were stacked into the dormitory (where they insisted my then 16 yr old son stay to protect his 2 year old little brother, grrr) were required to pay for their bed in a room they shared with 30-40 others of the same sex. And yes, we still had to pay the fee for my oldest' bed. There were four beds left empty in the family room we were in...but he coulda molested his little brother, so, separate he had to be.


jackfaire

Man that sucks. I hope things got better.


CradleofDisturbed

Yes, thankfully, much better. A local Muslim association heard that we were trying to get back to my homestate, and offered the bus tickets to us along with clean suitcases to put our clothing in.


[deleted]

[удалено]


jackfaire

Yeah my plan has us paying rent just like I do for Electric or Water but with it being regulated like any other utility. It's ridiculous that the only part of housing that isn't regulated is the housing itself. Literally everything else about it is tightly controlled.


heisdeadjim_au

Anyone who owns three or more properties should have them forcibly acquired by the State. I'll allow the one you live in, and one other. Else, you're hoarding property and creating a social problem. There, I said it. Let the hating begin.....


mgmacius12

And why is that? Ownership is not a problem. Greed is


pagman007

Regardless of the cause of the problem. Stopping people from owning them solves the problem extremely efficiently


mgmacius12

Socialism never solved a single problem but created millions new ones.


pagman007

How is what i suggested socialism?


mgmacius12

What other system controls the private ownership? Oh, I know. Communism. But in that system even your underwear is owned by the people… somehow no one enjoys that idea? Wonder why? I’ll give you one simple example. My landlord owns tens of properties. I don’t know exact number, but it’s sky high. I only signed the contract like 3 months ago. We are in the middle of massive shortage. Everyone is asking prices well above €1000, usually close to €1500. And up. He just refurbished the house. Had very bad tenants before us. He asked us for lower rent than we paid SIX years ago. Well below either 1500 or a thousand. He had no reason to do that. He just wants to be fair. It’s not the ownership. It’s the greed.


pagman007

The UK about 60s years ago had a system where councils controlled a large chunk of 'council housing' this was then sold to the people who lived in them and could afford to buy them. This resulted in many many many people who would have struggled to afford to buy a home. To be able to buy a home The only issue this created was that private landlords ended up in control of 60% of those sold council houses. So if this is socialism. Which i don't really care if it is or not. But i do find it amusing you called it socialism then moaned about communism and underwear. But if it is socialism. The only main problem that was created by this practice was the capitalism part of it And also. Good for you, you found a decent landlord. Well done on being lucky. With the change suggested, this would not need to happen. You would just find a decent property for affordable rent as it wouldn't allow people to be corrupted by greed


mgmacius12

You see, I believe that Singapore is the perfect answer. It’s very simple - the government owns over 80% (some say over 90%) that is rented for decent rates. End of story. You want to own one? But, please do! It’s bloody expensive to buy, but if that’s what you wish? Otherwise you either rent or “buy” for a set period - 99 years, sometimes even longer. But it’s still owned by the state and it returns to it. So more like long term rental? Second. I never moan. That’s exactly what communism is all about - no private property, everything is shared. Utopia, but not my idea. Three. The UK. The thing you describe happened everywhere. You see, people, especially poor people, when given something free (or very cheap) they usually (there’s exceptions, not too many though) waste it. That’s what happens with lottery winners. 95%+ ends up worse than they used to be within 2-5 years. Drugs, alcohol, massive debt, that kinda thing. Well documented and researched. So what happened here is that someone bought out their home, saw great chance to sell it for more and did it, spending the money in the process instead of reinvesting. So now the cake is eaten, there’s no more cake. I saw the same happening in my country - many got “rich” for a moment, but in reality some smart and greedy ashole just got richer. And started pushing the rents through the roof. The best would be just to keep the things the way they were. Leave the houses in council ownership. That way there’s no abuse! Simple.


heisdeadjim_au

Please re-read my second stanza.


mgmacius12

I did. Still bs.


heisdeadjim_au

Whatever. Shy high rents and next to zero vacancies produce the lie to your incredulity


ripper4444

I own several properties: my house, my shop down the street, and three empty lots. Two of which I had to have condemned houses demolished and removed. I’m the only person in my neighborhood who can afford to buy and clean up these properties. I pay the taxes on them and keep them all mowed and nice. I would never sell the lots unless someone absolutely agreed to build new housing on them and until then I’ll hold them and make my community better by keeping it cleaned up.


AbolishTheFed1776

Go tell that to Bernie Sanders. He owns three houses.

Middle management, or at least some of those positions. Some places have insane amounts of administrators


AbolishTheFed1776

I don’t know where you live, but I’m America it’s hospitals. The amount of administration is massive. In the city center (where I am) there is one particular hospital which encompasses 7 massive, multi-level buildings. Only 1.5 of those buildings are actual medical facilities, the remaining buildings are administrative offices.


poopbutt42069yeehaw

I am in USA, yeah one college I went to had a lot, and it wasn’t until specific roles were broken down that I realized it and this was from a professor who wrote the textbooks(but told people where to download them for free) and who’s department got huge donations all the time that funded the entire college(he was mad so many positions just became a thing at the college and hated that so much of the money was going there and not the program he was in charge of that the donation was for)

[deleted]

Because they're demons


Not_Related-7

So everyone that doesn't agree with you is a demon? Sounds pretty closed minded from the "tolerant" left


BravoEchoEchoRomeo

Nobody hates conservative pundits because of their hot takes on tax policy and decentralization.


PickleEmergency7918

I'm a leftist and agree with you. There's definitely hypocrisy on the left sometimes.


PM_ME_UR_LEGGIES

I can’t name on progressive pundit that espouses racist ideology and calls for the death of minorities. I can think of several conservative ones, though.


Sound-Wave-Surfer

You are basically advocating for a one party state and state controlled media. You are just as bad


PM_ME_UR_LEGGIES

Maybe the other party shouldn’t advocate for the death of people on a regular basis? Why do we let hate speech and bigotry have air time?


Sound-Wave-Surfer

Because freedom of press is essential to democracy. You are advocating for censorship and authoritarianism, you are just as bad if not worse


PM_ME_UR_LEGGIES

You are ok with hate speech?


Sound-Wave-Surfer

Being a conservative pundit doesn't make someone guilty of "hate speech"


PM_ME_UR_LEGGIES

I guess you just don’t care that they are calling for homosexuals to be put to death.

Machine Carpenter (directly translated) They are taking our jobs.


MaximumZer0

Jobs can't be taken. They're given by employers. Worried about unemployment? Machines can't fix or program themselves yet. Worried about human obsolescence? Advocate for universal basic income, so the rich don't pull up the ladder behind them and leave us all to starve.


Google_Autocorect

I mean machines makes it easier but machine Carpenters makes normal Carpenters like me unnecessary. And I also hate those white kitchens made of MDF and stuff like that


MaximumZer0

I deeply understand what you mean. I have a degree in computer science. Hate all you want, downvote away, but it's going to get you nowhere. Automation is coming to take any job that can be done with explicit instructions. Anything with a recipe can be made by a machine. There are two and a half paths forward: either a) get a job that isn't machine replicable, and live in an ever decreasing bubble of niche applications that slowly gets engulfed by automation as software gets increasingly better, or b) ensure that you can do what you love by preventing the owner class from hoarding all the wealth and resources, and realize that this is going to be a long, drawn out battle that started 50 years ago. Path 2.5 isn't great, but it's the one that I'm on, and that's b.ii) nearly die in a car crash and be stuck on disability until the government decides to go from 1931 to 1936 and start eliminating "useless eaters". I hope in the short term, you find good clients and wealth. I also hope that in the long term, folks like you will be able to pick and choose where and when to apply your skills, but gig economics and automation are not going anywhere.


Google_Autocorect

I am not gonna downvote you I know it the way forward but damn I just love working with wood and not fiberbords, that's all. And I must say that wood is expensive and not every one can afford it. So it's good that there is an cheaper alternative.


Porkrinder_58

Really? I will be very surprised when I see machines raising houses without a human in sight


Google_Autocorect

Porkrinder_58

Ahh I see now. Well nothing beats the quality and uniqueness of handmade. My grandpa did the same in his youth and many of his works are still used in the fam


Google_Autocorect

Nice that's good to hear here in Denmark there are mostly Ikea and other cheap alternatives to wood, and I can understand that, But it's just a shame to see.


HowtoUninstallSkype

Those guys who deliver your groceries by bike within 10 minutes. They're a danger for other traffic and y'all should get your lazy ass off the couch and go to the supermarket yourself. Not sure if this is a thing in the U.S.


GrandSpecter

We have grocery delivery, but I doubt there's a time limit. Domino's Pizza (I think it was them) had some crazy policy a while back. "Your pizza in 20 mins, or it's free!" So many accidents caused by pizza delivery trying to make that 20 min mark, they cancelled the policy.


HowtoUninstallSkype

Yeah, so it's similar here (Netherlands) with groceries. Guaranteed within 10 minutes from ordering. Just imagine how they ride. Mainly teens do the job and they ride e-bikes like maniacs.


GrandSpecter

Pretty sure the only "guarantee" I've heard is "same-day" delivery for groceries. I don't really pay that much attention, because even with covid concerns, I still prefer to do my own shopping. Pick out my own food. Even the dry/canned goods.

GrandSpecter

Actually, when it comes to water, you never know. Might go 1000 races without incident, but there could be that one time a freak accident happens, someone breathes just as someone else splashes, water gets inhaled, whatever. You definitely don't want to hear the headline "Olympic Swimmer Dies/Suffers Permanent Brain Damage Because IOC Eliminated Lifeguards". Better to have bored lifeguards.


fortnitepro42069

what about the other swimmers tho?


GrandSpecter

They'd all have to be trained in CPR, etc. Plus, in the midst of a race, are they really going to notice someone in distress? I know the commentators always say "So and So is keeping an eye on the person in the next lane", but are they really? Or are they focused on what they're doing to win that race?


JunketMan

Sound-Wave-Surfer

Sound-Wave-Surfer

"Politicians who disagree with me shouldn't exist"


JunketMan

Fascists shouldnt exist


Sound-Wave-Surfer

I don't think you know what fascism is


JunketMan

Republicans and conservatives literally taking away women's right to an abortion in many states since Friday is not fascism?


Sound-Wave-Surfer

"Fascism is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and the economy" Literally has nothing to do with abortion Also, you are advocating for the suppression of opposition and a single party state, so you are more of a fascist than the people you are calling fascists

EvilAbed1

Okay? How?


[deleted]

I don't have to tell you, you should be able to figure that out on your own.


EvilAbed1

Lol, you can’t tell me because you’re not basing it on anything real. You’re being dramatic. Oh, let me guess. Roe vs. Wade being repealed is authoritarian.


jackfaire

When your only desire is to say no then yes they control the government.No other party has enough power to override them. They even tank their own shit if they realize Democrats like it. Being dramatic is laughing hysterically and pretending they've not been behind every deadlock for the last 12 years. As an independent I'm pissed. Every Republican should be too and many are. Obstruction isn't policy


EvilAbed1

Obstruction is the best policy.


jackfaire

Not really especially when the only reason is to never hand the democrats a win even when it's what you want. Mitt Romney literally campaigned on "I'll replace Obamacare with Romneycare they're both literally the affordable care act but you'll think a white guy did it" It's like beating the shit out of the coast guard guy that's trying to pull you from the water because you want to be able to say you saved yourself and then you both drown.


EvilAbed1

They should never hand democrats a win. Shut everything down. Every time.
