Damnnn. Economists expected 750k new jobs in August. They got 235k

https://www.yahoo.com/news/economy-falls-short-expectations-235-123100507.html

To put this in perspective I read an article yesterday contemplating what happens in the Stock Market if they get 750k vs 600k?

"What happens in the Stock Market if they see a really low # like 500k?" 235k w/ millions about to lose unemployment is so abysmal.

5hr max work day for 5 days, instead of 8hr 4 days

I believe that we are alive to experience life, not serve sociopathic business owners and companies. You’re spending 15hrs (not including sleep) out of your 24 serving companies that could care less if you live or die while not even providing wages to cover your bills. By the time you get to and get back from work, cover basics, it’s time to go to bed so you can do it again the next day. Most, if not all of your day, is spent on being exploited basically. BILLIONS of people are subservient to this reality because 1000 sociopaths voted on it. This is where you’ll watch your youth and life dwindled away.

Now does a 25hr work week with livable wages sound better? Protest, write to the creators of this strike to change it to 5hrs max per day. Split shifts will create more jobs, people won’t dread the work week, they’ll get work done with better efficiency without burning out and dreading the next day.

I believe production and the quality of work will drastically improve. Over all, workers will be happier knowing that the day won’t be as long, so less problems will arise from workers trying to cut corners or waste time for the clock to run out. Less mistakes from burning out and frustration. As a business owner, that’s all that should matter, your sales and production, you’re not the Supreme Court. The type of work and it’s value compared to other types of jobs shouldn’t matter. You’re getting your profit, and your business is producing your products.

Livable wages and hrs, doesn’t mean job immunity. But if you work all day, you should be getting a wage that covers your bills. If you’re qualified for the job, you’re qualified for a livable wage.

If we improve school conditions, pay teachers more, require higher education for both teachers and students, and provide each teacher an assistant, we’ll have a more progressive future and better workers.

Change a 9 - 5 to a 9 - 2. Protest, and write to the creators of this strike to change it to 5hrs max per day for 5 days.

Website is down?

https://www.octoberstrike.com/ is not responding. Is this movement already dead? Do we have any idea how many people are participating? There’s only about 6k people in this subreddit, not exactly viral or popular…

Biden's Infrastructure plan has jobs that pay $45-50/hour

https://news.yahoo.com/president-biden-says-jobs-pay-150318117.html

"I think of one word when I think of climate change: jobs, good-paying jobs," he said. "Not $7 or $12 or $15, but $45, $50 an hour, plus healthcare. That's what is needed."

"Biden's $45 figure is more than six times higher than the Federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, which has remained unchanged since 2009, when Biden was vice president in the Obama administration.

Businesses are increasingly finding it difficult to attract talent by offering less than $15 an hour, making that a de facto minimum wage in some instances."

Can Disney fire me for participating in the strike?

I work custodial at Disney World and I’m scheduled the day of the strike, this is the first time I’ve done something like this and I don’t ever usually call out or not come to work, I’m always there and on time, so is there any chance they could fire me? I really just don’t know if there’s any loop holes they could use or something.

Article: Big investors are starting to get worried

Just grabbed some of the more relevant stuff.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/big-investors-are-starting-to-get-worried-bof-a-survey-105901320.html

"Big investors are beginning to worry about several key fundamentals that underpin the stock market. 

Global growth expectations have continued to "fall markedly" in September, according to the latest survey of fund managers out of Bank of America. The survey found that economic growth expectations are at their lowest level since April 2020. 

The sharp month-to-month decline comes on the heels of a lackluster August jobs report and an increase in earnings warnings from corporate America as the likes of 3M Company and others contend with the impact of the Delta variant on demand and costs.

Further, a net 22% of those surveyed by BofA expect profit margins of companies to continue to worsen in coming months. That is up from 15% in August."

Experienced Organizers?

EDIT: Typo

Hey y'all,

So I just heard about the general October strike around a month ago and was excited for it until I did some digging and found that there were criticisms of the movement for not being thought out enough or for not having given enough time for experienced organizers to prepare.

So my question is: where are the experienced organizers and what are they saying? Is there any chance to get this "train" back on it's intended course? Should we cancel? Does the date need to be reassessed? Are there any specific websites or directories we can reference?

I'm sick of this unnatural way of living via capitalism. We gotta do something about this.
