on weekends?

I'm retired.

Just laying around doing nothing while collecting my capitalist pension.

 

[vantexan]

Yeah.

Socialists.

They pretend to work and pretend they are getting paid for it.

The government should give you everything so that you don't have to work. Get with the program!

He works whenever he chooses because he worked when he need to, to set himself up financially to so he could retire comfortably.

I've never worked anywhere that didn't have an exit door. You're free to leave any time you want.

but the question is does he (or any other worker) pretend to work on weekends even though he signed a contract...

at my job a ton of people pretend to work.

at the railway alot of people pretended to work.

at ups, i wasnt there long enough, but everyone was working very hard, a different work culture.

the problem not the lack of exit doors, but the lack of doors going in.

There's always an entrance somewhere with the right skills and attitude.

I work most Saturdays. I don’t pretend to work. I do what I’m paid to do, deliver, then get off the clock.

Workers should combine their "capital" and purchase controlling shares in the corporation they work for or offer an individual business owner enough for him/her to retire early or move on. There are legitimate vehicles to attain what you claim to want.
It is clear all you choose to do is burn down institutions that other's built.

He doesn't want to organize a cooperative. He wants existing business owners to spend their money organizing a cooperative where he has equal say, equal pay with the owner. He wants others to do all the work of running a business, risking their capital to get it going, and his work entitles him to an equal share of everything without all that nasty risk business or those long hours taking care of all the details.

i dont doubt it. some workers in capitalism dont pretend to work.

you im thinking this contract thing is like the constitution. its just a piece of paper, but whether or not its followed in reality is another story.

im actually very much in favor of ben and jerry backing bernie.

corporations play it way too status quo by just supporting food banks (which quite often their workers are the recipients of).

a pizza place just spoke out against saudi arabia war crimes. thats great.

and we should encourage worker coops in part the way italy does with the marcora law.
