It’s not the same as quitting, at all, from a legal standpoint. You still have your job, and need to be paid, until they fire you, and once they fire you, you can fight for unemployed. Never quit. You’re basically willingly giving away your rights as a worker.

The employer knows this. They’ll often try and trick you by saying “if you don’t show up, you’re quitting” or something like that, make it clear you did not quit.

It’s irrelevant. A contract which an employee (foolishly) signs can give penalties and what not to be argued over in court, but it’s still completely illegal to force someone to work. Any worker can quit without notice for any reason. Unless as punishment for a crime, in which case slavery is still legal, for some bizarre reason.

Personally, I don’t think quitting is smart either way. Get fired instead. Just stop showing up and stop working, but never quit. If they fire you they’re the ones who are taking responsibility, and it not only gives the worker a bigger chance to claim unemployment, but also forces the employer to pay wages up until the worker is fired. And if they don’t the worker can complain and have a chance at getting even more money.

It’s not enforceable at all. It is a legal right of all American citizens to stop working for an employer at any time they want, without reason.

Edit: the number of people who seriously think your employer can just tell you you’re not allowed to quit shows just how brainwashed the working class is. Please research your rights.

Cuba does indeed send doctors overseas! The fact this tiny sanctioned island nation recovering from decades of slavery which has been invaded by the US, can still have enough healthcare to provide medical aid to other nations, shows just how good this system is.

Cuba has the most doctors per person and by quite a bit. The US however, has less doctors per person than North Korea and Mexico… yikes.

The government isn’t serving the peoples will, clearly.

There are homeless on the street, is that your will? People can’t afford food and clothing and healthcare, is that your will? The average person is spending like half the money they take home on just rent, is that your will? There are drugs on the street, is that your will? Little kids can’t eat, and go to schools filled with violence and bullying, is that your will?

To ensure that the government serves the peoples will, the government workers should be rewarded with the same quality of life they give the most vulnerable. If the most vulnerable are suffering, the government did not serve the peoples will to reduce suffering, and so they are not rewarded. If the most vulnerable are comfortable, the government served the peoples will to reduce suffering, and so the government is rewarded with comfort.

The government is not a company.

I told you to stop thinking like this, this philosophy just drives you deeper and deeper into this silly rabbit hole. Economy class lied, sorry. Read a book. I recommend kropotkins conquest of bread. This isn’t an insult of intelligence, you were just miseducated. Reeducate yourself, stop wasting a perfectly good brain on such silly beliefs.

The government is a slave to the people. That’s not communist thinking, even locke agreed. The government only exists if the people say it does and allow it to do so and are satisfied with it. The governments job is not to profit or make money or be rewarded, it is to serve the people, only then will it be rewarded at the discretion of the people.

If the government doesn’t want to be a slave to the people, that’s authoritarianism, and the government may as well be abolished if it does not serve the people above all else.

Another word for government worker is public servant. Their purpose is not to serve themselves, it’s to serve the public. The minute you introduce pay to the equation the goal is no longer to serve but to profit.

Look at doctors, in nations with universal healthcare doctors use tried and true methods, known to be reliable. In Cuba doctors get paid relatively little and have to sacrifice a lot, this is why Cuba has some of the best healthcare on earth. In the US, where healthcare is not universal, doctors use experimental untrustworthy inefficient methods, which cost more, because the doctors goal is not to help but to make the most money.

A government worker should be treated the same as our most vulnerable, the poorest. If the poorest are suffering, the government worker is not doing their job, and should suffer as they are not doing their job. If the poorest are comfortable and healthy, the government worker is doing a good job, and should be rewarded with comfort and health. This is pretty basic.

Once you introduce pay their goal is no longer to help the people, but to do so in new experimental inefficient expensive ways, to funnel the most money into their pockets. If they wouldn’t work without pay, they shouldn’t be trusted to help others as clearly that’s not their goal.

This is incredibly basic. Get over the money-is-everything philosophy this genocidal corrupt nation has taught you.

Reply to amp/dac by Business-Hearing-52

The apple usb c dongle is an amp/dac

The gain you’ll get from getting a dedicated chonky amp/dac is minimal. It’s there, the gain is there, but the money would be much better spent on different headphones or audio files.

The main reason to consider getting a big dedicated amp/dac is if you want a physical dial for the volume, lol. Which I would understand, no judgement.

I don’t understand what’s up with hifiman. They apparently sound super good, but some people report them not sounding good. Obviously, how good it sounds is subjective. But then you bring the durability and quality control issues into the mix and I don’t understand why people are still buying them. Do they sound that good? It’s not even like they’re cheap.

Landlords will keep prices as high as they can. That’s literally their “job”. They can’t make more money by providing better service as they don’t provide a service. They just set the price as high as possible. They don’t need software to do this, there will always be a demand for housing so they can set the price as high as they want and eventually someone will bite. The only solution is to get rid of landlords.

Weird, other nations seem to manufacture stuff in government just fine, for an extremely cheap price. If the US can’t match the efficiency of even developing nations, the US government needs to be either heavily reformed or abolished
