I’m a truck driver and haven’t worked less than 40 hours a week since becoming one most weeks it’s an 80 hour week

Here in India, CEOs are contemplating 70 hour week working.

Working long hours and still can't pay the bills. It's time for massive change in America. A basketball player shouldn't be getting 130 million dollars. The wealth gap has always been a problem. The sports and entertainment business is leeching this country dry. Too much greed fix the problem cause everyone deserves the American dream not just a lucky few.

Fun fact: The U.S. is the only developed country not to have mandatory paid vacation time by law. We really suck.

End forced labor!

Land lords should quit their "jobs"
Property hoarding should be illegal
Rent is extortion
Homelessness is violence
No one gets a second house until everyone has one

I couldn't imagine what it will be this year with all the people who are Bull unemployment crap

I am a liberal who has worked 16 hour shifts just to be called a welfare mom by conservatives who also liked to tell me that I didn't work. Meanwhile, many of them were the exact same group that I was providing health care for.

They were on welfare while I was being their caregiver with a bad back and in constant pain. There's nothing fair or right about it but working oneself to exhaustion while people talk down to you is a nother thing to add to why it's so hard on your own health.

I wasn't on welfare. I just worked and worked and worked. There's no American dream...there's the American nightmare of working ourselves to death. 😐🇺🇸
