I have been looking for manufacturing, assembly, production positions all over the Midwest. It’s absolutely shocking how many of them want you to work rotating shifts.

Look at the image I submitted. That company wants you to work 3rd shift one week, then 2nd shift the next, then 1st shift the next, and then repeat it over and over. How in the hell is that healthy?

And this requirement for rotating shifts is prevalent in so many job ads now. WTF is going on with the world?

    Oh, for heavens sake. I chose to be born into a life where I can only choose the form of my exploitation, in other words?

    No. It is not in any way shape or form a result of my choice that some business owner is prioritizing money over people.

    Capitalism is not a neutral system. And it’s flaws are certainly not the fault of those being exploited.

      Nobody is forcing your labor. You can live off the land mountain man style if you want to.

        You literally cannot. Homesteading hasn’t been a thing since the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976.
