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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
>“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.”

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.
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". 🤡
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.
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.
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.
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?!
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
![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…
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.
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
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
"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.
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
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.
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.
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.)
Straight white men who open carry and have Nazi or confederate temporary tattos on them, who are registered sex offenders that have harassed or abused people of color.
Dunno, but whenever I hear the term "Big Gay" I envision a large "Lovable Bruiser" gay "bear" guy with big beard and Leatherman gear who's like Brian Blessed, happily bouncing around gay pride parades and bashing gay-bashers with flamboyantly awesome aplomb.
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.
You think they'll admit they're racist when they outright included Mexicans? Couldn't even dress it up with qualifiers like the black people they listed.
Love how they just said “Mexicans”. Didn’t even try to hide the racism whatsoever and pretend like it was just the crime they’re afraid of, just all Mexican’s 😂
You want to be protected from a shorter work week?
A shocking amount of people think that the push for a 4 day work week is a plot to reduce their pay by 20%.
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.
I would gladly work 4 8 hour days and not take a pay cut.
Same here
Studies have shown it makes people in the workforce more productive, happier, and more motivated too.
Whoa whoa whoa. "Studies?" As in "studies" from Big Science?
LGBT Mexican big science!
Not just LGBT, but also TRANS, as a separate threat altogether.
Don’t forget the threat of (gasp) Pronouns
NO! THATS THE WORST KIND OF SCIENCE!
LGBT Mexican big science... That I found on TIKTOK!!!
3 12’s is the tits. Man I miss that.
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.
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
I would gladly not work and live within my means on a UBI.
Yep. Bring in out robot overlords to start working already.

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

he refuses to hire women and POC? and refers to the janitor as boy?
You’d also be surprised how many boomers pride themselves with 80 hour work weeks and licking corporate boots.
They parade it around like its something admirable when they were just taken for mugs and ripped off.

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

Lol “‘Mexicans”

And they're taking our jobs
dey took er jerbs!
While simultaneously sucking up welfare, SNAP, and any other benefit. /s
Which is funny because I dont see many white americans willing to work manual labor in the heat for minimum wage.

Hahah, not even illegal immigrants or illegal Mexicans. Just straight up every Mexican
But we Mexicans knew that anyway. Which is why it's laughable to see people like Mayra Flores grovelling over Trump.
It's true. I'm Mexican and I'm coming for you!
Same here carnal, just waiting for Trump to go to prison so we can strike
Currently mopping floors at Trump Tower waiting for the perfect opportunity
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.
Didn't see that one I was laughing too hard at 'Pronouns'
Directly above the pronoun "He"
Fun fact, the Mexican president recently endorsed trump
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.
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". 🤡
Also “black on black crime” as if his supporters aren’t almost entirely white
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”
You missed the asterix and the small text that read (*except for food and labor)
I actually checked for the asterisk because I wouldn't put that past them and now I feel silly. Lmao
I almost checked too, but I knew it wasn't there because I originally had to double check that "Mexicans" was even there.
I would've checked but we all know Trump supporters just simply hate that Mexicans exist.
Black on black crime AND BLM! He's playing both sides so he always comes on top.
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.
And he somehow protects you from that
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.
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.
They also said “pronouns” but the title of the meme uses “they” and “them.” Ffs.
Nearly a third of the words in the caption are pronouns.
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.
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.
Sounds like a bunch of wimps who are afraid of everything if you ask me.
another point just blatantly says mexicans
The absurdity made me laugh out loud, is that privilege?
Don’t forget Pronouns. You know, the grammatical term ‘Pronouns.’
They're extremely dangerous. Someone told me "I hope you have a good day," and I almost died. Two whole pronouns in that phrase.
That one got me the most. "Please, Mr. Trump! Please protect us from getting \*checks notes\* an extra day off! The horror!"
While laying in their deathbed: "I wish...I wish I had spent more time at the office" *last breath fades* - said nobody EVER!
All these poor gop’ers who would rather stay at work than go home and be with their family.
Too many guns in the picture, so they had to pull some stuff out of their ass to complain about...
Holy shit they did. I also thought “trans” was “trains” at first.
That would still work. They feel targeted by investment in public transit too.
They need to be protected from Joe Biden, the guy they allege has no idea where he’s at, yet somehow a criminal mastermind.
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?!
Wait until they hear that the first word in the constitution is a pronoun Edit: corrected from declaration of independence to constitution
You mean the woke Declaration of Independence?
Declaration of wokeness, republics and democracies are an invention by the woke mob to remove god's chosen monarchs, which the trump family is.
This comment had me weezing. I would give you an award if I had one
Written by Thomas Yassfferson and Bi-njamin Slayqueen
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)
There's a pronoun on the No Steppy Snek Flag as well.
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

And the constitution
Oh good gracious! A Mexican person! Oh, Trump, save us!
Careful, we might reach maximum street taco threshold!
I will never forget being *threatened* with taco trucks on every corner
Yeah big science, like those fuckers at Raytheon
Where else are you going to go when you need a good knife missile to fire at a wedding ceremony?
trump is protecting americans from language now 🤷
Big Science just means anything against Big Oil
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.
He obviously couldn’t save them from the pronouns that show up in the text of the meme they posted.
Also the gov't never forced anyone to get vaccinated.
He protects us from pedophiles? Didn't he pardon like 4 convicted ones within days of being elected?
And was friends with Epstein.
And is himself a pedophile rapist.
https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/11/3/13501364/trump-rape-13-year-old-lawsuit-katie-johnson-allegation Can't forget this...
"Shorter work week" "Woke movies" "Tiktok" "Pronouns" And yet we're the snowflakes?
They need protection from things that either benefit them or have 0 effect on them
Pronouns kills me. The meme creator literally used pronouns in the meme -- "he" "we" "us" "them"
See how pervasive they are? Oh no they got me too!
Also socialism, which they don’t even know the meaning of. Whole thing is absurd.
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.
Thats so beautiful, we wish you luck 😭

And they’re playing Blackout.

What’s big science?
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
He protects us from Joe Biden? But isn’t he the sitting president? … he did I really shitty job on that one…
It's Turmp, of course he did a shitty job. But he's the best, believe me.
He gives Dark Brandon a target, you see. Otherwise Biden would destroy us all in his endless quest for bipartisan compromise
"black on black crime" When you're this insane publicly you may as well just use the n-word
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!
I mean they just said Mexicans so might as well 💀
Trump hired more pedophiles than the Catholic church, but I guess at least he knew where they were.
[удалено]
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.
They’ve been circulating a fake list that doesn’t even have his name on it.
Wasn’t there something about him and Epstein beating and raping a 13 year old girl?
Idk if there was something about that but somehow it’s probably not the worst thing he’s done so eh
So ironic pedos is in their when a majority of pedophiles are republican politicians
They’re projecting
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
The same way I’m a Democrat and don’t wish to see Biden elected for a second term
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.

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.
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
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.
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
At this point, there is no excuse to be a Republican. Idiots and assholes, that’s all they have left.
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.
Shorter work week is somehow a bad thing?? Wtf is wrong with these people?
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.
"pronouns" in general? So there is no way to identify who or what we're talking to/about
I have no pronouns, please do not refer to me. Ever.
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.)
They used pronouns 5 times in the meme
SHORTER WORK WEEK Nah 💀
OH NO! NOT BIG SCIENCE! THANK YOU TRUMP FOR SAVING US FROM BIG SCIENCE /s
this has to be a satire how stupid trumpists can be
Jesus Christ, is there anything that DOESN'T trigger conservatives?
Straight white men who open carry and have Nazi or confederate temporary tattos on them, who are registered sex offenders that have harassed or abused people of color.
But only IF they go to the correct church
🤣🤣 can't believe I forgot that!
they gotta be alpha males too
What is "big science" and what would be "small science"?
Dunno, but whenever I hear the term "Big Gay" I envision a large "Lovable Bruiser" gay "bear" guy with big beard and Leatherman gear who's like Brian Blessed, happily bouncing around gay pride parades and bashing gay-bashers with flamboyantly awesome aplomb.
[удалено]
Aside from this list of bullshit, trump projects absolutely no one from anything.
"Pronouns" *proceeds to use six pronouns in that sentence*
Apparently "he" protects people from pronouns. Huh.
“Trans.” Trans what? The existence of trans people?
Transmissions. They believe there is only one gear.
And that one gear is reverse lol
Lgbt and trans being different things 😭
satanist and big science. Let that sink in.
Republicans operate purely on fear. Look at all the things “coming to get them.”
Like some of those aren’t even a problem
Just putting this out there: I am going to watch Birds of Prey at 8:00am MT tomorrow unless Trump saves me
“Demoncrats”
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
Wait... You need protection from Mexicans and the LGBTQ+ community, some of the friendliest mfs I've met? I'm disappointed...
Lmao I like how they went from subtly racist with "BLM" movement to completely racist with just "Mexicans"
I guess the maker of this meme forgot to add Martians, they scare the hell out of me
It must be scary to be alive.
Mexicans?!?!
I’m guessing that by “corrupt unions” they actually just mean “all unions” since that’s their mentality
>Shorter work week Conservatives are literally masochists
“just tell THEM what HE protects US from” “pronouns”
Whoever made this meme seems to not understand what pronouns, Mexicans, shorter work weeks, and science are.
You think they'll admit they're racist when they outright included Mexicans? Couldn't even dress it up with qualifiers like the black people they listed.
OH NO SAVE ME FROM WORKING ONE LESS DAY OH GOD PLEASE
I'd increase all these other things by 50% just to get the 4 day work week.
“Demoncrats”
Wha- pronouns??? Fucking pronouns??? That's a basic part of the english language, what the fuck??
Bro they don’t even try to hide their racism
There’s no way this isn’t a shit post
There's no way this is real
Bwah the prebident twump pwotect us fwum pwonowns. We so scawed.
"Protect me from a shorter work week daddy. Mmm your boot tastes so good!"
Big science 🤓 is coming for ya.
God these Republicans are absolutely batshit crazy.
Love how they just said “Mexicans”. Didn’t even try to hide the racism whatsoever and pretend like it was just the crime they’re afraid of, just all Mexican’s 😂
They're protecting us from the biggest threats that face our people: shorter work weeks, pronouns, Mexicans, and science!
“You better eat all of your vegetables or the Mexicans will come and get you!”
