Do you drink milk? My dad milks the cows of the milk you drink. His current boss has been his boss since I was 5. Recently Washington State passed laws that make farm workers eligible for overtime for the first time. In 2020. He's worked 6 days a week since I was 5.
He's now being told that he has to do the same job in 7 hours (previously he had 8 hours) over 6 days. Meaning instead of overtime pay for 8 hours, he'll only 2. He now has to work harder, for less pay. Literally his hourly pay is less than I make as a barista @ SeattleU
But I've also been unemployed since february, and my unemployment runs out at the end of December. This capitalist system fucking sucks. I hate it so much, but my dad has it worse.
He's worked for his boss for over 20 years (23+ years) actually. He gets 1 week of vacation after all this time. What's the point of labor laws of bosses can just work around them?
Why am I socialist? Because working people make all the wealth and get none of the fucking benefit. Our lives have never been easy. But are we the enemy? NO. It's the fucking 1%
Fuck capitalism.
and fuck you if you support it.
I feel a bit angry that this tweet has blown up. Juan Carrillo. my dad, is 64. No one has cared about him besides his family my entire life. He's my hero. Fuck, he's worked through his religious beliefs to love my boyfriend Mark
