What the hell is a “vacation”? I end up having to use all my PTO for days I’m sick or if I need to go to an appointment or my kids are home sick.

PTO is such a weird thing from the outside. Why don't you just strike and set everything on fire? No need to vote to get human rights...

Because we're indoctrinated from birth to believe, consciously or subconsciously, that property and "the economy" are sacred and more valuable than either human rights or actual human life itself.
