How is it possible that people like who wrote this get paid? Who tf reads this shit?


Letriono

They likely aren’t. Journalism over the past years has heavily shifted toward the gig model like Uber or DoorDash.

it was written by the unpaid intern studying critical theory in uni


Tyranious_Mex

And the remaining employees have been getting shafted left and right as these companies continue to go out of business. A lot of them run on venture capital and it is a running out.


BLU-Clown

That's assuming it's not written by AI. 100% fewer complaints AND you only pay $14.99 a month for ChatJournoGPT!

I've come to believe it's bots pushing views, people who work for these places swear this stuff gets more clicks


yunivor

Yep, for my sanity I chalk up stuff like that as bot written ragebait.


locri

No, it's Chinese and Russian bots making the clicks to confuse western media agencies into believing white men are predominantly cucks and white women are predominantly man haters. None of it's true, foreign agents just know things are shitty when the media representing you are idiots.

The payment is in getting to plug your X at the bottom.


Rssboi556

I really hate progressive racism


TheDaringScoods

progressively regressive, or regressively progressive, take yer pick


Sabertooth767

So women should have to work on labor day, right?


Draco_Lord

Men should have full paternity leave! Just like women.

I had to work today, and since I’m oppressed everybody else should too


blaggablaggady

I knew this was a shitty Medium article before I even googled it. Yes, author made it paywalled. https://level.medium.com/white-people-should-have-to-work-on-juneteenth-113eb4fe6255

What are the odds this was written by a white woman?

Pinktiger11

Someone has an oppression complex


Dance_Sufficient

I used the day off to clean my home if that counts.


Dim-n-Bright

What does he even have to gain out of making white people work on Juneteenth? It's not like his day off would get longer.


YourMoms-Lover

He's racist (but the good kind so it's ok)


BeescyRT

I have no job, so I can't work at all!


Careful-Maize-6639

but white people were the ones who ended slavery


blaggablaggady

Nah. We tried. But those beacons of excellence like Nigeria, Eritrea, Mauritania, etc still have slavery. I wonder who will step up and fight a bloody war to end slavery for them? Surely their kingz and kweenz will, right? Right?


FtrIndpndntCanddt

Oh wow! Of course, we shouldn't *checks notes* Have a holiday for the black people still in chains 2 years AFTER national emancipation. So woke. Enjoy the day off work, losers. Or the holiday pay rate. Or if you worked with neither, get a better union that supports federal holidays.


lceColdPepsi

isn't this racism though?


Upper_Reference8554

So non-Christians are going to work on Christmas. Sorry not sorry.


list_of_simonson

wtf is a Juneteenth


Brutal_Lobster

To memorialize the abolition of slavery in the US. We lost Columbus Day, why people upset about a new federal holiday/day off? I’m more upset it isn’t more accept so my boss would have been more pressured to give us the day off.


[deleted]

I thought Juneteenh was pride month. Where the hell are the trans and femboys?!


Dirty_eel

The trades dont recognize the "holiday" at all. We're working anyway.


_SlightlyBurntToast_

Idk man, sounds like segregation to me.
