They literally work every day with very ill cancer-stricken kids who can’t get the vaccine.
This makes 100% sense.
If you’re an employee of a world renowned hospital and are anti-vax, you didn’t deserve to be hired to begin with because that hospital tends to hire people who understand evidence-based medicine and apply that to clinical practice. If you’re an anti-vax healthcare worker, you aren’t practicing evidence-based medicine and are therefore a danger to patients.
Colonialism still exists. The effects of original colonization still exist.
Native Hawaiians cannot afford to live on our own land. Everyday tourism kills us.
We are fined for using our water. We are screamed at by tourists. We are stacked in concrete apartments the size of shoe boxes. Waiting lists for apartments are decades long. The government never provides aid. The money that belongs to us is wasted on half finished monorails and hotels. Tourist take pictures of us like we’re an attraction.
In 2018, the UN acknowledged the present day occupation of Hawai’i. And they did nothing.
“The Living Wage Calculator from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) says that one adult in Honolulu needs to make $16.59 per hour for a living wage. If that is a couple with 2 children, each adult needs to make $17.70 per hour.”

My culture, my people, are sexualized, ignored and stepped on.
We cannot live. And everyday more of us die.
And no one even notices. So notice. Notice. Notice.
tbh i think y’all (mostly cis and binary trans) are just. devoted to misunderstanding, suppressing and bullying nonbinary ppl.
y’all tried to obliterate “joyfriend” y’all tried to spread shit about “enby” being unilaterally infantalizing, you’re coming after “folx” (which isn’t even necessarily a nonbinary thing) and “mx” and making jokes about it and creating this “yxll” meme. y’all try to shuffle us into neat little boxes, push labels and attraction categories on us, exclude us from communities we belong in (LOOKING AT YOU, EXORSEXIST MLM BLOGS), create an innaccurate, fatphobic, racist, exorsexist image for nonbinary people to “conform to” you refuse to respect our pronouns and our experiences with gender, you refuse to look past your basic, exorsexist view of the world, you try to exclude us from trans spaces, we face endless scrutiny.
none of you actually care about nonbinary people and it fucking shows
binary people can rb but don’t add any bullshit or fucking else. i encourage ppl to reblog this post
(edit 9/22: added “unilaterally” for more clarity. please reblog this version!)
According to a study by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, there are approximately 9 million LGBT Americans. In 1860, the Confederate States had a total non-enslaved population of 5.6 million.
By any reasonable metric, the rainbow flag more authentically represents the American experience that the Confederate one.
Two common practices in the U.S. restaurant industry – service with a smile and tipping – contribute to a culture of sexual harassment, according to new research from the University of Notre Dame.
“A perfect storm: Customer sexual harassment as a joint function of financial dependence and emotional labor” was recently published in the Journal of Applied Psychology from Timothy Kundro, assistant professor of management and organization at Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business.
In the study, co-authored by Alicia Grandey and Vanessa Burke from Penn State University and Gordon Sayre from Emlyon Business School in France, more than 66 percent of restaurant employees reported facing some form of sexual harassment in the past six months.
Previous research has looked at the idea that customers can engage in sexual harassment. But this study is the first to examine why sexual harassment is so pervasive in the service industry itself. It’s also the first to empirically link tipping to sexual harassment.
“Service employee dependence on tips and requirements for friendly displays lead customers to experience a heightened sense of power – which can lead them to engage in sexual harassment,” said Kundro, whose research examines when and why employees engage in dysfunctional behavior, specifically looking at ethics, discrimination and impression management. “We show it’s really the joint effects of customer tipping and requirements for positive gestures that drive sexual harassment. When either isn’t present, customers don’t feel the same sense of power.”
everyone sharing this as some inspirational feel-good story has worms for brains
So, essentially, like 80% of the value created by the workers is denied to the workers usually, so that the owner can line their own pocket? And the owner gets to do this simply because they “own” the business?
You guys know that some of that money has to go to upkeep and overhead as well, right? Yes, I agree, there’s issues with how workers are paid and owners walk away with far more money than they’re worth, but even if it were a worker’s coop or something they would still not be walking away with that much. Taxes, rent, materials and more do eat out of that if it isn’t literally all being turned over to the workers, and the workers can’t do anything if there’s no building and no supplies.
I agree that there’s taxes and rent and upkeep to think about, but that’s taken out of revenue.
Revenue is the word for the money the business takes in, without cost of goods sold taken out. Cost of goods sold includes variable costs (ex: the cost for the ingredients of pizza, sales tax, and usually, employee wages by the hour) and fixed costs (ex: rent, utilities, overhead).
Notice that the above article says profit. Profit is the money a business has when the cost of goods sold has been subtracted from the revenue. There’s no tax money or rent money to be taken out of it, because it’s already been taken out.
So this actually is a scenario where the owner is taking this money home. More money, in fact, since the $78 per hour had to be divided up amongst the employees that are working. Let’s assume there are are only three employees. This means that the owner is taking home three times what the employees made on that day, everyday. And there may be more then three employees, meaning the owner could be making more money then my estimate.
Some simple math to break it further down for you. 78×3= 234. 234×8 hours = $1,872 for an 8 hour work day. While yes, there will still be some taxes to take out, and im sure the “profit” for the day did not have employee wages taken out, that is nearly $1,900 per day for the owner. And the owner is probably paying $15 an hour at most to the employees.
I’m not explaining this to be condescending, im explaining this because it’s an honest mistake to confuse profit for revenue, and because the above situation really pisses me off
