I support unions, but at this point I’d be terrified to join a new one. Especially when you’re somewhere owned by a large company or private equity firm. There are just no protections for unions anymore, and these days large companies would rather just close down entire departments than give employees basic rights.
I get that the fear and intimidation are the point, but that really doesn’t help. Having a gun pointed in your face is also a form of fear and intimidation, but knowing that doesn’t make it any less dangerous when it happens to you.
I just don’t know what to do anymore, every single thing feels like a losing option while the world just continues to get worse and worse. I’ve scrimped and saved for years to have some sort of nest egg, and its barely more than what more successful people casually spend in a week. I don’t see a way out of this mess.












Just put a tea bag in a cup of water and microwave it.
