Did Elon Musk make the top image? Fuck any store in the US that was open Thursday or had crazy long hours Friday, and DOUBLE fuck you if you went to one.

A lot of Americans' lives rely on going to a place to spend money or work for money.

The funny thing is that the Arbeitnehmerrechte will costs us den Wohlstand and the reason why we’re getting abgehängt in sectors like the automotive industry.

Who's Wohlstand? I've worked 40, 60, 80 and even 100-Hour weeks and at the time I've always had to live paycheck-to-paycheck because my Bosses would pay close to minimum wage (less than if gerechnet auf die Stundenzahl), invent breaks I didn't take to balance out any overtime I had or just not pay overtime in the first place (but still demand it).

Explain how my Wohlstand was diminished by having too many rights

You were richer than 80% of the earths population. What else do you want? Most countries don’t even have minimum wage.

Just because somebody has it worse doesn't mean that it's okay. If you stub your toe, should you not be able to complain because I broke a bone in my forearm when I was 6 and the doctor had to snap the other one with no sedation/painkillers so it would heal correctly?

Plus, cost of living is a thing. They may have been richer than 80% of the population, but I bet their cost of living was higher than most of them as well. Minimum wage in my state is $15 USD, twice the federal minimum, and somewhere around 80% of the workforce in the state capital has at least a bachelor's degree (the highest percentage of workforce by city in the country). Despite this, the vast majority commute from outside the city every day for work, because the cost of living inside the city is so high most people can't afford to rent an apartment. I made more money in 2022 than the bottom 51% of Americans, and I can't afford to move there.
