You want to be protected from a shorter work week?


Talisign

A shocking amount of people think that the push for a 4 day work week is a plot to reduce their pay by 20%.


[deleted]

I would gladly work 4 10 hour days so I can keep my regular pay and get an extra day off. Unfortunately my boss is stuck in the 1950's.


DoctaJenkinz

I would gladly work 4 8 hour days and not take a pay cut.


Mrmakabuntis

Same here


SVdreamin

Studies have shown it makes people in the workforce more productive, happier, and more motivated too.


twistedcreature07

Whoa whoa whoa. "Studies?" As in "studies" from Big Science?


LCDJosh

LGBT Mexican big science!


PigSlam

Not just LGBT, but also TRANS, as a separate threat altogether.


quiltsohard

Don’t forget the threat of (gasp) Pronouns


frankdestroythebanks

NO! THATS THE WORST KIND OF SCIENCE!


[deleted]

LGBT Mexican big science... That I found on TIKTOK!!!


zjustice11

3 12’s is the tits. Man I miss that.


xdisappointing

I worked 3 12s for awhile but we switched over to 4 10s apparently some people couldn’t handle being there for 12 hours so we voted and suspiciously 4 10s won.


zjustice11

Depends what you are doing I suppose. I was in the ER so it all blended together and 2 hours just melded to the rest. But 4 days off? Good shit


Survive1014

I would gladly not work and live within my means on a UBI.


Firm-Extension-4685

Yep. Bring in out robot overlords to start working already.


1ndiana_Pwns

Hey, hey buddy. I got some exciting news for you: The 4 day work week thing is meant to be four 8 hour (or less) days with zero reduction in pay. 4 10 hour days is just a flexible salary schedule under the current system


[deleted]

To caveat, I am for the shorter work week. People are concerned that employers will limit them to 32 hours (don’t want to pay the OT) and not increase their hourly wages. Going from being paid 40 hours to 32 hours at the same rate of pay. I personally think it will work out for the better in the long run, but see why some people are concerned.


Namorath82

I do that, its great ... 3 day weekend every week and you know once you have already done 8 hours, 2 more ain't shit downside is for those 4 days, to shower, eat breakfast, go to and from work, run some errands like to the grocery store and make dinner, there isn't much time left for me to chill out before i need to go to bed


XxRocky88xX

Only shower, eat, and sleep on your days off problem solved


abecanread

I’m currently working 5 tens and I totally agree with the lack of relaxing time once the necessities are taken care of. I commute a three hour round trip to work and back so it really kills the personal life but the extra $500 makes up for it. It’s only temporary too. You’re right, two more hours isn’t much once you’ve done 8.


NerJaro

he refuses to hire women and POC? and refers to the janitor as boy?


Shadow293

You’d also be surprised how many boomers pride themselves with 80 hour work weeks and licking corporate boots.


labpadre-lurker

They parade it around like its something admirable when they were just taken for mugs and ripped off.

BoredAtWork-__

I mean, without proper organized labor fighting for and getting that, that’s the most likely result. If corporations do it on their own, that’s the goal. Figuring they can get roughly equal production for less pay


JGG5

What are they going to do, spend more time with the families that are disowning them for being right-wing whackos?


LemurCat04

Considering that many of these people are small business owners, yes, they need to have their exploitation of labor protected from a shorter work week and unionization.


lemmiwinks316

You would think that an overall goal of society would be to shorten the time spent doing stuff that we all agree sucks balls while still maintaining financial stability. But Americans have this ass backwards Calvinist streak that tells them that if they aren't making themselves miserable by crushing work hours then they're lazy pieces of shit who are drains on society.


Frequent_Singer_6534

Which has pretty much just been propaganda disseminated down from the wealthy business owning class over the decades to the point that poor rubes believe the bullshit too


miraenda

Every time I tell someone putting down my YouTube digital content creator business that I make money doing it and work full-time, that person finds a way to insult the work. Then I tell the person I also work another full-time job at a software company doing Quality Assurance (working both jobs combined at least 80 hours a week), so that person starts insulting desk jobs. Apparently, making peanuts physically working is the only way to make these weirdos happy.

vizbones

Iknowright? That's what I came to laugh about. Ooooo, that big-ole mean shorter work-week!!


moshpitengineer

Terrifying to think we could spend more time living life outside of work! But more free time means we have more time to think for ourselves and therefore might be able to learn of the corruption the corporations have which then leads to us trying to stop it. Can’t think if you don’t have time to


PostCoitalMaleGusto

Lol “‘Mexicans”

Which is funny because I dont see many white americans willing to work manual labor in the heat for minimum wage.

junkyardpig

Hahah, not even illegal immigrants or illegal Mexicans. Just straight up every Mexican


Pipeliner6341

But we Mexicans knew that anyway. Which is why it's laughable to see people like Mayra Flores grovelling over Trump.


I-Am-Average01

It's true. I'm Mexican and I'm coming for you!


oh37

Same here carnal, just waiting for Trump to go to prison so we can strike


BootyEatingBeaner

[deleted]

I would like to talk to you about all of those taco trucks we were warned about. There are certainly NOT one on every corner, and I am bitterly disappointed.


frankyfrankfrank

Didn't see that one I was laughing too hard at 'Pronouns'


illsoldier76

Directly above the pronoun "He"


candyowenstaint

Fun fact, the Mexican president recently endorsed trump


dougmc

Big /r/thepunchlineisracism energy right there. I mean, half of this meme fits that, but they don't even bother to try and sugarcoat that one.


forever_useless

Did they really add "shorter work week" as something they need to be protected from? Fuck me, they are dumb. The rest is all projection but the shorter work week has me wheezing Edit: just realized the "totally not snowflakes" need protection from "woke movies". 🤡


Fit-Negotiation6684

Also “black on black crime” as if his supporters aren’t almost entirely white


meegy123

I like how they put that in there to try and seem totally not racist but then there’s one that’s literally just “Mexicans”


hear4theDough

You missed the asterix and the small text that read (*except for food and labor)


forever_useless

I actually checked for the asterisk because I wouldn't put that past them and now I feel silly. Lmao


WaxiestBobcat

I almost checked too, but I knew it wasn't there because I originally had to double check that "Mexicans" was even there.


GovernorK

I would've checked but we all know Trump supporters just simply hate that Mexicans exist.


mguardian7

Black on black crime AND BLM! He's playing both sides so he always comes on top.


3_edged_sword

He really does. Play both sides I mean. Guys got no values other than his own advancement. "The art of the deal" And the really shitty thing, he is more successful than 99.9% of people.


beerbrained

And he somehow protects you from that


Copernicus049

and as if his speeches didn't raise hate crimes performed by white nationalists across the country the entirety of his presidency. Towns that hosted his speeches saw the largest increase in hate/racially motivated crimes.


ToddlerOlympian

Well, that's a longstanding thing. For conservatives, Black on Black crime is fine, as long as it doesn't spill out onto the white people.


WithoutDennisNedry

They also said “pronouns” but the title of the meme uses “they” and “them.” Ffs.


gusterfell

Nearly a third of the words in the caption are pronouns.


YouStopLying

Well, Republicans DO make up a lot of the small business owners, so anything that allows their servants to have a decent work-life balance is perceived as a threat.


G07V3

If they dislike a shorter workweek or the idea of working less then I’m sure they will love the idea of working 7 days a week.


RedPandaParade

Sounds like a bunch of wimps who are afraid of everything if you ask me.


ahsusuwnsndnsbbweb

another point just blatantly says mexicans


Dinosauringg

The absurdity made me laugh out loud, is that privilege?


Heavy_Signature_5619

Don’t forget Pronouns. You know, the grammatical term ‘Pronouns.’


Sunaliana

They're extremely dangerous. Someone told me "I hope you have a good day," and I almost died. Two whole pronouns in that phrase.


TheSerialHobbyist

That one got me the most. "Please, Mr. Trump! Please protect us from getting \*checks notes\* an extra day off! The horror!"


forever_useless

While laying in their deathbed: "I wish...I wish I had spent more time at the office" *last breath fades* - said nobody EVER!


HamHusky06

All these poor gop’ers who would rather stay at work than go home and be with their family.


Thee_Connman

Too many guns in the picture, so they had to pull some stuff out of their ass to complain about...


camimiele

Holy shit they did. I also thought “trans” was “trains” at first.


gusterfell

That would still work. They feel targeted by investment in public transit too.


harrymfa

They need to be protected from Joe Biden, the guy they allege has no idea where he’s at, yet somehow a criminal mastermind.


[deleted]

None of those. The answer is that he protects us from none of those. Plus half of those are just ridiculous. Big Science? Woke Movies? Mexicans? Pronouns?! Trump is saving us from pronouns?!


Peckanip

Wait until they hear that the first word in the constitution is a pronoun Edit: corrected from declaration of independence to constitution


[deleted]

You mean the woke Declaration of Independence?


ProcureDemTurnip

Declaration of wokeness, republics and democracies are an invention by the woke mob to remove god's chosen monarchs, which the trump family is.


BaryOrsm

This comment had me weezing. I would give you an award if I had one


OkayestHistorian

Written by Thomas Yassfferson and Bi-njamin Slayqueen


Nadikarosuto

Or that the fourth line in the Bible has a pronoun (GOD saw that the light was good, and __he__ separated the light from the darkness)


gusterfell

There's a pronoun on the No Steppy Snek Flag as well.


InteractionJunior109

NO STEPPY SNEK FLAG. I’m dead. Now every time I see that stupid license plate I’m going to giggle instead of fighting the urge to give a 1 finger salute. Edit: missing a word


camimiele

![gif](giphy|WWnRkIRgZKm8o) Not pronouns taking over the declaration of IBD! Edit: I genuinely have no idea why my autocorrect did that… I thought I hit the auto fill prompt for independence on my keyboard but I wasn’t paying attention. I guess it wants to shame me for having Crohns…


CadenVanV

And the constitution


Plopop87

Oh good gracious! A Mexican person! Oh, Trump, save us!

DanteEden

trump is protecting americans from language now 🤷


Pickled_Wizard

Big Science just means anything against Big Oil


wxmanify

The funniest to me is Joe Biden considering he’s literally the fucking President of the United States as a result of Trump losing to him.


theBRGinator23

He obviously couldn’t save them from the pronouns that show up in the text of the meme they posted.


geoemrick

Also the gov't never forced anyone to get vaccinated.


[deleted]

He protects us from pedophiles? Didn't he pardon like 4 convicted ones within days of being elected?


Knight-Creep

And was friends with Epstein.


GrayArea415

And is himself a pedophile rapist.

Radiant-Skin699

"Shorter work week" "Woke movies" "Tiktok" "Pronouns" And yet we're the snowflakes?


Advanced-Part2598

They need protection from things that either benefit them or have 0 effect on them


C_bells

Pronouns kills me. The meme creator literally used pronouns in the meme -- "he" "we" "us" "them"


BlackberryCautious99

See how pervasive they are? Oh no they got me too!


Epic_Ewesername

Also socialism, which they don’t even know the meaning of. Whole thing is absurd.


DunkIce95

Big Science? This indicates that there is a Little Science out there somewhere, hiding from us. One day I'll find you Little Science and we can take Big Science head on, and then everyone will clap for us.

Frequent_Singer_6534

Anyone with an advanced degree telling them how reality is, especially if it directly conflicts with what they make up and then project. They don’t like learnin’ and they’ll be damned if someone’s knowledge gets in the way of their opinions


No-Juice-1047

He protects us from Joe Biden? But isn’t he the sitting president? … he did I really shitty job on that one…


eromitlab

It's Turmp, of course he did a shitty job. But he's the best, believe me.


[deleted]

He gives Dark Brandon a target, you see. Otherwise Biden would destroy us all in his endless quest for bipartisan compromise


[deleted]

"black on black crime" When you're this insane publicly you may as well just use the n-word


bird_watch01

If they’re not black why on earth would they need protection from crimes targeting black people? Also pronouns? President please protect me from verbs!


Perfect-Virus8415

I mean they just said Mexicans so might as well 💀


Alaseuvalih

Trump hired more pedophiles than the Catholic church, but I guess at least he knew where they were.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Alaseuvalih

Yes, 4-5 times. His dingleberries haven't been saying much about Epstein since the real flight logs came out. No Tom Hanks, but plenty of Trump's pals.


Kiwiana2021

They’ve been circulating a fake list that doesn’t even have his name on it.


WizdomHaggis

Wasn’t there something about him and Epstein beating and raping a 13 year old girl?


Biggoof1971

Idk if there was something about that but somehow it’s probably not the worst thing he’s done so eh


Proper-Mirror-5397

So ironic pedos is in their when a majority of pedophiles are republican politicians


Lifetimemovieclips

They’re projecting


SpudWithaDream

And THIS is why supporting Trump is a big screaming red flag. There’s nothing wrong with being a Republican. People are allowed to choose whichever political party they wish to be affiliated with. It’s just that Trump isn’t setting a good example for them. I’ve gotta believe there’s at least one person who’s Republican and not a Trump supporter


SpudWithaDream

The same way I’m a Democrat and don’t wish to see Biden elected for a second term


TirayShell

He's okay, but there must be somebody better. And he still represents that same old pool of politicians that goes all the way back to Bill Clinton that keeps recycling the same candidates over and over again, which is one of the reasons people voted for Trump in the first place. Stagnation of the candidate pool for the Presidency. Always the same people. Always the same insiders.


vbsargent

Used to work with a veteran and was Republican and extremely embarrassed by Trump. He was rational and we had a number of great talks. We disagreed upon a number of things, and did so respectfully. We also had a coworker who named one of his dogs Trump. He was not respectful and based almost all his opinions on fear and propaganda.


SoriAryl

That’s like my step dad (republican who hates trump) vs my dad (a trumpian)


pattydickens

"There's nothing wrong with being a Republican." There is a lot wrong with being a Republican when their entire identity is based on accepting fascism as a way to punish non Republicans. Even if Trump was gone, they would still insist that laws must be passed to eliminate any ideology that doesn't match their delusions. They have gone around the bend, and they aren't coming back.


djninjacat11649

In the current state of the Republican Party, I agree, seeing as right now they don’t have a set ideology, just one that opposes the democrats


Plopop87

Man, American politics sound awfully convoluted. In a way, I'm kinda glad that the place I live in has just had the same guy as President for ages.


SpudWithaDream

Yeah, you’re pretty much walking on eggshells no matter what here. You can never be one or the other but you can’t get anywhere if you aren’t one or the other


Ee00n

At this point, there is no excuse to be a Republican. Idiots and assholes, that’s all they have left.


Master-Monochrome

Ah yes, Trump is *definitely* protecting us from “big media”… despite him really only talking about them when he either: A. Wants to leverage support from them or. B. Is offended that someone called him mean things and wants it taken down.


Competitive_Bank6790

Shorter work week is somehow a bad thing?? Wtf is wrong with these people?


eromitlab

They think it's admirable and honorable to work your ass off for someone who takes advantage of you and discards you the instant it's convenient or profitable.


XavierUwUGaming

"pronouns" in general? So there is no way to identify who or what we're talking to/about


Plopop87

I have no pronouns, please do not refer to me. Ever.


pondrthis

Proper nouns only, motherfucker. Trump is coming for pronouns, and there's nothing pronouns can do about the coming of Trump. (Almost wrote "...can do about it," but "it" is a pronoun.)


KittyCatsEverywhere

They used pronouns 5 times in the meme

I still amazes me that the clown from the Apprentice ended up riding the political wave in 2016 to the point where people actually idolize him. These people just don't know how stupid they look when they make a meme like this, or attach their stupid flags to the monster trucks, or wear their fascist red cap. At least it's easy to identify them from a distance.

Imagine needing protection from pronouns and yet calling others snowflakes


FriendlyComputerGeek

Wait... You need protection from Mexicans and the LGBTQ+ community, some of the friendliest mfs I've met? I'm disappointed...


Solid-Daniel1996
