dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

"jobs surge" while mass layoffs are happening in majority of industries. I really fucking hate when I read garbage articles from politico/other ghoulish rags like it praising "muh number of jerbs are higher" and then remembering all the layoffs that occured before.

Boeing even just announced a further 17,000 job cuts. Rumors of another round of cuts of a similar size in January as well

It's fine, they can go work one or more of those new jobs! I'm sure a boeing technician will be making the same salary between Amazon warehouse fulfillment and driving for Uber on their days off!

Almost a guaranteed suppression of wages. Many folks will be taking a pay cut
