If you quit your job the first time your boss says something dumb, you’re going to have to do a lot of job hunting.

If more people quitted(?) their jobs the first time their boss says something stupid fewer bosses would say, and do, stupid shit. They need us more than we need them.
In the long term maybe, but in the short term I still need to pay rent
The system is designed to force you into debt and coerce you into work and it wont ever change if we keep playing by their rules.
Uh, seems like an odd reason to quit your job.
I'd have to quit my job twice a week if I left every time my boss said something dumb.
Taking away your labor power from chucklefucks who use the sweat of your brow to continue to oppress you is good praxis.
People talk about boycotting by not buying things from certain companies, but not enough people commit to not giving their labor to those companies in exchange for a paycheck. That's a boycott, too. When you're working for them, you're literally helping them believe the dumbfuck shit they believe, and allowing them to use their financial largess to influence the media to promote their dumbfuck bullshit.
Standing up for the people who no longer are "economically viable" means something. But go ahead, let your boss say your parents should just die when they're too damaged to work. Laugh with them about it. Go ahead and be a callous asshole who won't stand up for someone who can't stand up for themselves.
