When I moved for my new job, my local was about 130 miles away, and the local for my area isn’t much closer.

Right. You can’t be in two places at once, and there are only so many hours in a day.

I also want to start organizing my community, so we can start holding worker assemblies

I think this is a good approach. Put away the scissors and bust out the lawnmower. IMO.

Your cause is noble, and I admire your selflessness. I think you could increase your influence without having to be a martyr to do it, though. And, at some point I can see your past and potential future employers talking to each other about you when you are trying to get hired again.

organizing unions ultimately has to come from the workers

a lot of people are just waiting for someone like me to show up

If I keep going, it will motivate others outside of my company to stop waiting and start organizing.

Just brainstorming here, but have you considered finding ways to reach out and educate your community? I’m thinking mailers, posters and flyers, local ads, talking to people at community centers or events. That kind of thing. Maybe you can propagate change in many places at once rather than one at a time. As a worker, I can tell you I don’t know shit about starting a union, but like you said, if someone like you came along, you could have a greater impact at more than just your own workplace.

Good luck on your mission!

“use the money from this job to do other organizing”. I don’t understand this.

Are you going to move from job to job creating one union at a time? Maybe you can find a way to scale that up, without sacrificing your own job each time.

I guess the concern for most of us is we need income to live, which is why everyone is giving you more cautious answers. Is that not the case for you?

Yup, and it’s good if you start using it early. I’m not a fan of the restrictions on it though, compared to the RRSP. But they are strong when used together.

They’re both speculative investments. The difference is one set of investors expects a return at some point, while the other is happy to receive payment after they die.

RRSP contributions are income tax deductible, and up to $60k from the account can be used toward a down payment for a home. For someone trying to buy, its a good idea to focus on that RRSP first.

What a very F major thing to say

This is not for me. Might watch someone play it, but I’d rather replay the original with its glorious old graphics.

I’m either weary, relieved, interested, or feeling cheeky. In that order.

Slavery never went away, it was disguised as jobs for the working class. And now the capital class has been sold the wet dream of slavery 3.0 in the form of AI replacing not just the average job, but the average person themselves. No sick days, no complaints. That’s why AI is being shoved into everything and the climate and economy are on the brink of destruction, to get rid of us for good.

Now hiring customer disservice representatives

I went “overkill” on my build 10 years ago with 32GB of RAM for $170. Now they’re going for $350.

There’s a certain group of people where this is the beauty standard in their echo chamber.

The part where you misunderstand is that it’s not meant to look like duck lips. It’s actually supposed to be a goose.

Goose lips for the women, and goose step for the men.

Well they seem to be using this community correctly.

Let’s wait and see if they start posting bad faith arguments in AskLemmy, or try advertising in Shitposts before we bring out the pitchforks.
