My interest burns hot and bright. It might be for a week or a year. Currently fangirling over 1D, Cats (domestic and wild), Science/Nature/Space and FASHION.
So today I found out there are some people who didn’t realise you could block someone on anon. NOBODY should have to put up with it, it’s bullying. So for those who don’t know, here’s how……..
First of all, go to the ask inbox from your account settings page (not the notifications page. You can do it from there, but it’s more longwinded) Open the ask inbox…….
Tap on the three dots and those options will appear. You can either report, block or delete.
Please reblog this so anyone who keeps getting anon hate knows what to do ☝
Reblogging this to keep spreading the knowledge. Please REBLOG it!! Let’s help those being harassed
Don’t be harassed. Block people who are cruel and nasty towards you.
The U.S. added just 194,000 jobs in September, down from the 366,000 added in August and far below the million-plus in July (before the Delta variant took hold). This is being described in the media as a disappointment or a problem, but a closer look reveals something quite different.
We’re still 5 million jobs below February 2020 levels, and 2.7 million people have been out of work for six months or more, the standard threshold for long-term unemployment. Many of these people are hurting, to be sure.
But the number of job openings is at a record high, and many employers report having a hard time filling positions. Why? Some workers have retired early or found other ways to make ends meet. Others simply don’t want to return to backbreaking, low-wage shit jobs.
Note that the share of people who were working or looking for work last month (the labor force participation rate) dipped to 61.6 percent, down slightly from the prior month. Participation for people in their prime working years, defined as 25 to 54 years old, also ticked down.
In other words, many American workers are now engaged in the equivalent of a general strike.
As a result, employers are raising wages and offering other inducements to lure applicants. Average earnings rose 19 cents an hour in September and are up more than $1 an hour over the last year, after a series of strong monthly gains. Average hourly earnings have jumped by 4.6 percent over the last year.
Corporate America wants to frame all this as a “labor shortage.” But that’s not what’s really going on. In reality, there’s a living wage shortage, a hazard pay shortage, a childcare shortage, a paid sick leave shortage, and a health care shortage – and American workers are demanding an end to all these shortages. Or they won’t return to work.
