Ha wrong again. Is English your second language?

< greatest country on earth

Ha, good one. Which one of the two major dystopian police states are you referring to?

"feel sour" - is that a chinese phrase? sounds familiar.

You can interpret my comment negatively if you choose. My comment is no worse than yours: "it's a reality".

Seems we have some different definitions as I try to ignore most of it.

To me cancel culture seems like the trend of a mob of whiners to start to whine about something until its cancelled, like the latest Dr Seuss book outrage. Now it seems Amazon is the target. Or men. It's kinda like witchburning in the middle ages, and equally ridiculous. And toxic.

The frequent downvoting on HN to censure opposed opinions also seems like cancel culture. HN often seems like an enforced echo chamber "safe place" for bleeding-heart sentiment.

My definition of safe space is a place where people are not allowed to express a different opinion or ridicule someone so maybe we are in agreement on that. People are whining for the need for safe places (like unions) and so I say ciao, go ahead and whine loser.

Edit: and in case you want to say I'm contradicting myself about safe place and unions, I mean you people are trying to create a "safe place" within some else's business where their views cannot be challenged eg right to fire. (instead of being independent and going their own way).

But I don't want to argue the details as I'm trying to ignore most of it.

<"some may call it toxic, even".

Whiners gotta whine. Toxic 'cancel culture' more like, which is a bigger problem these days.

Quiting a shitty job is pretty satisfying and it provides direct feedback that things need to be improved in order to retain talent. Or not, as it could just be good riddance.

No, more like, instead of whining, men just quit jobs that suck aka "take this job and shove it".

And/or fire problem workers..

Cliffhanger. His unfinished concept of comparing money to a chair leaves readers "confused, disoriented and exploitable" enough to pitch his newsletter signup at the end.

What is he selling? Just spit it out already.

Yes people need to pushback against the overly politically-correct.

I think the pressure to enforce covid lockdowns is as ridiculous as these people wanting to censure Dr Seuss. Where I'm at we're back to lockdowns on Sundays only, so stupid.

Basically we need to get on with life and ignore the overly-anxious who want to control/censure everyone.

Where there's a will, there's a way. Have you checked out crowdfunding these days? It's probably never been easier.

Bueno. Thanks for sharing your perspective. You seem to be making relatively decent money there. If you want more, make some moves.

I should have been more clear in that while I'm against unions I'm all for paying workers twice the going rate. And firing them if they don't perform.

And my comments about working harder for more money was about pay based on performance. ie produce more, make more. Go hard or go home. Not sure how that can fit into retail and warehouse there exactly but it probably could be done.

Pensions, 401K. Not my cup of tea. I prefer to watch trees grow. And have you seen how easy it is to launch a product these days? Well, actually nothing's easy.

Ha. True. I could be talking about myself now.
