Its your civic duty to pay taxes. If you want billionaires to pay taxes, then so must you. As Albert einstein said: Be the change you want to see in the world. Jk.

Depends on your income streams, assets, and costs. How do you usually get income and how much? The anons about hiring a consultant and making a business are also age old advice. You can do quite a bunch of things, like depreciate assets, shit like this. Depends on your situation.

I'm in the process of doing something like this.

Reconciling your capital gains tax is prolly an S-tier tax dodging move. It's how Trump paid 0 taxes for a few years. It's pretty sad that people don't take advantage of losses on investments. Basically, the way it's set up is that every dollar you lose is money in the bank.

That's just the way the law's written.

I was listening to a nonprofit broadcast take callers, which is probably the most interesting thing you could do. One of the callers was saying that he makes 120k a year with a take home pay of 90-something, that his house was decent, but not really that impressive. The caller said he was sending two kids off to college, and that he's not been able to enjoy his life because of his financial stress.

Seems like a substantial political loss.

Completely dependent on the city you are in. In Munich and Vienna you are better off with classical instruments. In New Orleans obviously saxophone and trumpet.

Guitar is aclassic but is kind of cumbersome and not that attention grabbing. It's versatile though so you might be able to take requests for more money.

Harmonica can literally fit in your pocket and is a pretty solid and iconic instrument that's not very difficult to learn.

Trumpet is deceptively hard because of the breath control you need, and you have to be quite good at it to make it sound good enough for people to like it.

Recorder is widely available but extremely cursed and likely to give passersby PTSD from elementary school music class, and cause you to draw their aggro.

>bagpipes,
People hate bagpipes. Nobody like them besides the Scots. So unless you are in Scotland, I think you have a better chance of getting your ass kicked than making money.
>Accordion
Isn't far behind in terms of general dislike.

I think a keyboard is your best bet, but some places don't allow any amplifiers for busking which would rule that out. Guitar also has a reputation for people that can't play more than like 3 chords forcing people to listen to their shitty singing. So I guess violin is your best bet of what you listed.

Can you really play all those instruments? I think your best bet for busking is anything you can involve the crowd in and get crowd interaction.

i thought this was the organizing board not the being a public nuisance board

>>1005
>organizing board
It's not though. The name of the board is labor, not org.

union leaders today arent even proletarian themselves so this is not a surprise

>Should truckchuds just be replaced by AI driverless trucks?
Absolutely but so should all white collar and artist faggots. There is nothing worse in this world than wasted labor.

in latam truckers are vastly considered right wing traitors and tools of the bourgeois state, is this the same case in developed nations?

>yes. shorter commutes and work is more uncomfortable than physically intensive. also im a transhumanist so i frankly would rather not so
Get in with your local trans mafia. I joke, but you think you guys would have networks getting people jobs at trans friendly businesses. You should try and find some liberal owned amall business owner whou would go put of their way to help trans people.

>>990
>yes. shorter commutes and work is more uncomfortable than physically intensive. also im a transhumanist so i frankly would rather not so
The physical labor, if you're not up for it sure. But also consider with food service, and retail, you're trading coworkers who might not like you for being trans, for coworkers AND customers who might not like you for being trans. If you really can't deal with people, any job where customer service plays a big factor is probably not going to be for you.

>>993
I'm not openly trans. Openly gay? Yeah, as long as I have a knife on me. I have a dumb death wish, not a sad death wish. But right now? I'm a pretty okay looking smaller more modestly effeminate young guy :V i am planning on going on hormones.

like let me elaborate, i do have long-term plans for a career, but im pretty fucked if i want more money - which sucks fucking ass, because that means no social influence.

>>992
where do i find them

>>995
>where do i find them
I don't know, but everyone will tell you that getting a job is all about networking. Go network with that community in your local area if there is one.

im fucking trying but im so goddamn utterly odious that everyone ghosts me q~q

The cost of a new Pitco SELV14-C/FD fryer, fast food industry standard, is approximately $24,574. The average yearly pay of the person working the fryer is approximately $15,000.

I would imagine the control panel, should it malfunction, is the most probable way for the repair costs of the machine to outweigh the replacement cost, like when your motherboard is fried. I've attached the manual. https://www.pitco.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/L20-406.pdf

There is minimal camera coverage near the drink syrups due to the way the freezers are laid out. I have no idea if this is standard. Drinks are incredibly high revenue items and even a day of no drinks would cut into revenue significantly. The syrup runs from the back of the house to the front, there's a full system of CO2 and air pumps, lots of moving parts to consider.

One of the things I was informed of was, "Look, when you come in, make sure you eat before you come in. Even if you work a full shift, you're probably not going to get a lunch. They're not too keen on giving people lunches—usually, we're too busy, and it's just better to work through your lunch."

That's a pain point. I don't know how it works in Texas but when I worked at Wal-Mart in Louisiana they were super adman ant about your 1 15 minute break and taking a 30 minute lunch. Same at the gas station I worked at, so I'm thinking either: Fast food is different and breaks aren't the norm, or this is a pain point to consider further.

Manager also let it slip they have not been using their schedule system, everyone but 1 of the people on the shift tonight was not on the 'schedule'. I'm not going to press the issue, I can benefit from the lack of accountability via scheduling to finesse more hours and have more lee-way later down the line. But it's a pain point, erratic scheduling has been a known major paint point for fast food.

I don't think minimum wage is ever going to go up. And if it does go up, it's like hyper-localized. Like, yes, it's great that the minimum wage is $20 in Seattle. But if it's only $20 in Seattle, it doesn't help very many people at all. It's still $7.25 in the majority of places in the U.S. And there are jobs that pay minimum wage. So a job like Whataburger where you're getting paid $12, that's great, awesome, because Subway starts you off at $8.50 still. But $12 isn't enough to live on. And that's just a fact of the matter.

The fryer that we operate costs $24,000. The person operating the fryer makes about $15,000 over the course of a year. I'm just saying every penny of profit they make is labor stolen from you. If you're not going to be able to get that money back in the form of a wage, well, maybe you can at least cost the company something.

Once people start going into these low-paid jobs with that mindset, that shit spreads like a cultural rot. These companies depend on churn employees like high schoolers and people like me who are only going to be working there for a few months to come in, suck it up, work, and then leave. But if we come in and we start trying to organize the workplace, start causing malfunctions, start working to rule, all of a sudden these companies can't risk hiring the same people they rely on because it's damaging their bottom line.

Yeah, we're never going to get a wage that's livable, and yes, these jobs will never be treated as the socially necessary jobs they are under our current system, but it doesn't mean that there's not things that we can do even if unionizing these stores is a hopeless endeavor.

>>970
no offense but jobs like fast food shouldnt have minimum wage raise, but I do believe in better treatment of workers.
Whats disturbing is the normalisation of service industry jobs as the default for adults.
imo, what leftists should do is advocate for career/trades.

>>969
Good investigation

>>969
your post is good but god do i hate that meme. no a homeless man with rotting teeth dressed in rags and exposed daily to the elements of the outdoors and the abuse of the people, possibly suffering from substance addiction and/or mental illness, possibly even PTSD, is not in the same situation as a broke dude with a "harder fit" just because they're both broke. The smoothface lad staring into the camera sleeps in an air conditioned building each night. He wakes up in the morning and shaves with warm water. It's not the fucking same aaaaaaaaaah

>And yes, trade unions aren't too hot right now especially since the amount of people working in trades has declined .

Service worker organising is blowing up and there are many gains to be made for all working people. There's no need to get all CIO>AFL here

>I was thinking that the nonprofit industry/social worker sector might be very useful to unionize. It could help mitigate some of the harms of the nonprofit activist industrial complex by giving more power to the workers instead of the CEOs.
So in my city we have a very strong "Social Sector" branch of a major trade union in part because of this and it works pretty damn well. The skills people who work for charities can bring to practical union organising are immense and ideologically they are already pretty onboard. Same with the tenant union, a lot of htem come from an ant-homelessness and housing advice charity so all of the knowledge is built-in and shared pretty effectively through the organisation.

>synthesism doesn't get the goods
How so?

In December 1912, the UMWA had sent 21 "recruiting teams" to the Southern Colorado coalfields. These recruiting teams generally consisted of two union men: one who would embed himself among the miners and another who would find employment with the local management. Working in tandem, each pairing would locate miners who were opposed to unionization and report them to the company as union sympathizers—an offense that generally resulted in contract termination—in order to covertly replace them with genuine union members. It is possible that up to 3,000 UMWA members were introduced to the coalfields in such a manner.[20]: 10–11

Misleading.

Well, some more precariat shit: a couple of weeks unoficially (undocumented) working in a funeral parlour was enough to finally take a firsthand view of the pricelist paperwork and the check that shows how much customers paid for services, the gist of it is this:
The ritual agency (funeral services) puts out a price of 12000 coins for the services of coffin bearers, after which it forwards the order to the headman, who finds four unofficial movers at a price of 1000 coins each. How can such an action by the headman be characterised from the point of view of labor laws? Can it be considered true wage theft?

Remember! work doesn't pay enough to pay rent but you still need to work or you're a bad person!

>>962
Fuck the trade unions, all for the class unions.

Sounds based, hope they succeed

That's cool, but unrelated to communism.

>>909
a worker-owned co-op developing open-source medicine is literally communization in action comr8

>>909
fuck off

This is very cool. We should do the same for HIV meds.

>>950
Depends but I think mostly no. Obviously armed yea, but most are just unarmed sentries just there to notify the cops. If you are open to night shifts there might be a lot of opportunity for that kind of work wear you literally don't have to talk to anyone your whole shift.

Cum. In my ass. Now.
