#fairwage #haggling #incomeinequalityThere are only 3 places left where haggling is still in place in big business, car buying and job pay. Both ways the little guy gets screwed and there is mass inequality. People like thinking they are getting a deal for their haggling skills but that is often not the case and they have jacked up the prices, or artificially lowered to pay to account for those people who happen to have good negotiating skills. Black folks embraced brand loyalty early on because a packaged item with a set price didn't discriminate, however any time they had to haggle, or the shop dispensed the item, they would always get screwed either ending up being charged more than white folk or getting dispensed less than they agreed to.Cars cost way more than in any other nation due to cheap credit and the fact that new cars are required by law to go through dealerships, even though they could easily be delivered to a rental company direct from the factor that you buy online for a set price and you could try out a car at the rental place. However because they make so much money for screwing us over they have bought politicians to ensure they hold a monopoly on car buying and its quite possible there is racial discrimination still if not there is certainly neuro-divergent disparity in costs.In Germany each job has its base pay set and public, and then you get extra based on your age to ensure you have the ability to retire and since every job has a union, agism is mitigated in the hiring process. You know what you are getting when you get hired and know you are getting paid equally reguardless of who you are.In America wages are purposely hush hush super secret so no one ever knows their own worth. I literally don't know what I'm worth and am only going on what I know about the people around me who realize that the the tabboo creating silence is wage theft. Just discovered that someone with one year experience doing the exact same job I am doing is making the exact same money I with 15 years experience am making. I'm asking for $20 more for my next job but I may be underselling myself still. As recession employer I will always make less than I'm worth. The next generation, unless there is another recession will always be richer.Haggling is a form of descrimination and unless you are neuro-typical and in the privilaged class, you will always lose even if you feel like you won. There is a reason why a rich kid with no degree will always make more than a poor black man with a batchelors. Neopotism is a powerful thing.

@dansup Is anyone working on a ticktock alternative? Sort of like a hybrid of peertube and pixelfed? Or is pixelfed hoping to fill that space?

A pitch is just education and making it in a way people who don't care can understand it and make them care and do more research.

Yeah but a simple web4 pitch isn't souless, if anything its putting a soul back into the internet, though sadly trying to get average people to switch to the fediverse in a way they can understand is nearly impossible why we have to create better pitches to them.

dianea2022-01-13 15:20:57Stolen storyI knew this guy in middle school that used to ask to use the bathroom by raising his hand and saying, "I need to take a SHIT"—mad clear. He didn't yell, just enunciated the word "shit" so hard that when he finished you could still hear the "T" hanging in the air."SHIT-tah!"This would happen in the class immediately after lunch like clockwork.It always caused a huge disturbance because all of us thought it was hilarious, every time (Ok I thought it was hilarious every time). Anyway, it got so bad that when he would raise his hand the teacher would say "Just go." And eventually she got rid of the asking to use the bathroom rule all together. She said we could just quietly get up and go if we had to use the bathroom.And that was the first time I witnessed how civil disobedience and disruption could quickly end an oppressive rule. No paperwork. No petition. No vote. Just one asshole, pun intended.

Ran the numbers. The only people dying are the unvaxxed, and the people so immunocompromised they are neardeaths door. Meaning the only places where it's necessary are places that would fight it tooth and nail anyway and refuse to enforce it

Same group of people freaking out about the decline of families and children being born and against abortion. There is literally no way to win with these people.Heartland Signal2022-01-26 16:32:20Sen. Ron Johnson asked about reducing child care costs: "Well, people decide to have families and become parents. That's something they need to consider when they make that choice. I've never really felt it was society's responsibility to take care of other people's children."
