The European mind cannot comprehend this.

It’s a bit like colonial ideology reverberating back inward. When the colonizing power runs low on new enclosures they extract value from their own people by normalizing the idea that human value is equal to one’s ability to do labour, and that illness is a failing.

The sheer idea of having a certain amount of "sickdays" - what a fucking system.

ALT: twitter screenshot: "A teacher battling cancer ran out of sick days, so school employees showered him with theirs (link)" @will_c_fischer "What if — hear me out — we didn't have a system that required a person battling cancer to rely on the generosity of their colleagues for sick days?"

Hey I like your posts but could you add alt text to them to make them more accessible?

To OP: It's so easy, most phone gallery apps can pick up text in images in less than a few seconds. Copy, paste, done.

Why would they? They're a clout-grubbing scraper account.

I try to give benefit of the doubt but you're almost certainly right

Seconded

Heartwarming dystopia

Okay, but hear me out: Sacrifice every ounce of your life to our corporate overlords. They demand blood, and we must satiate them. In fact, we should just get rid of sick days to expedite the process. (For those not well versed in satire, this is a joke)

something something orphan crushing machine

Alt text version! :)

So weird …. When you are sick why don’t you get sick pay and days off? Next you are going to tell me you need to pay for medical treatment!

They went so far as to outlaw potential teacher strikes demanding sick days and any other benefits in the majority of states too

Is there a name for this genre, where people write about what a horrifying dystopia the world is while trying to frame it as heartwarming?

Crapsaccharine?

Wet dream of the german party FDP! Fuck them!

That's a lovely thing for them to do. But should not have been necessary.

AlT-Text added.

What if Medical treatment & support was free to the individual simply paid for by taxation from company profits & before shareholder payments or bonuses

This is the part of Breaking Bad that people tend to forget about.

I hope you don't mind but either way I'm copying to post at UK Conservatives on twitter who are trying to destroy our NHS.

Where I work we are expressly forbidden from doing that.

heartwarming and not hell

How common is this? I feel like I only ever hear about this in schools.

Lots of ppl don't have sick days at all and they just lose their jobs. Personal experience

wtf? how?

It's America. That's what happens. I lost a job I had had for 20 years while in the middle of cancer testing.

What state?

CT. I used 2 weeks of family leave which is available in my state but was unpaid . I ended up having to go on disability

It’s so heartwarming living under oppression

I don’t understand the concept of sick days.

Well, the princess in England gets all the time off she wants when she undergoes cancer treatments, so has he thought about becoming a member of the nobility?

This man looks a lot like the cop who killed George Floyd.
