A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

The envy of Europe? Weren’t they going bankrupt like a couple years ago? What about Germany and France, or the Nordic bloc?

Edit- I am a bit out of the loop, and I realize my comment was throwing major shade on Spain, a country that I love dearly, sorry Spanish ppl, love your land

That was a few years ago. Since at least Covid they've been one of Europe's fastest-growing economies.

Yeah... That was a very surprising description of Spain's economy.

It's just typical capitalism. In order to achieve anything that looks like amazing growth/innovation/pricing, you MUST f*** someone in the butt (typically those at the very bottom of the hierarchy).

Hey, now. No need to be judgy, friend. In English, that's generally phrased as "fucking someone over", btw.

FWIW, the puritanical origins of such demonizing non-reproductive sex acts should be beneath us as a species, at this late-stage, IMHO.

For instance, "sodomy", according to many laws across the globe, and regardless of dominant relation in the area, is defined as anything other than missionary position — incl. oral, manual, etc.

(Because the Church/Temple/etc. needs fresh blood and butts in seats, not independent happiness, self-discovery & trust-based fulfillment. Religious institutions muuuch prefer to have their hand on the only tap, so they outlaw and psyops all others they don't own...)
